Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the PS2 shader effect?
Open the shader settings menu (usually accessible from your video settings or mod menu depending on your loader) and select PS2 Shaders from the available shader list. The effect will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my game look blurry with weird lines all over it?
Those lines are scanlines, a core part of the PS2 Shaders effect that mimics old CRT televisions. If they're too intense, you can reduce their visibility in the shader settings by lowering the scanline intensity slider.
Can I adjust how curved the screen edges look?
Yes, the shader includes a CRT screen curvature setting that lets you control how much the edges of your screen bow outward. Lower values give a flatter look, while higher values create a more pronounced curved monitor effect.
Does this shader work with other mods like Optifine or Sodium?
PS2 Shaders is designed to work with shader-compatible loaders and optimization mods, but compatibility depends on your specific setup. Test it with your current mods installed—most players report it works well alongside performance enhancers.
