Hunt Showdown Linux Gamma Sharpen Fix

This project provides a gamma sharpening fix for Hunt: Showdown on Linux using VKBasalt.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have VKBasalt installed on your system. If you're using Bazzite, it comes pre-installed.

Steam Launch Command

To launch the game with the necessary settings, use the following command in Steam:

VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 gamemoderun mangohud ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 DXVK_FRAME_RATE=165 %command%

The VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 setting is primarily intended for me (Nvidia 30 GPU). Users with different graphics hardware may need to adjust this setting for optimal performance.

Setup Instructions

1. Copy Configuration File
   Place the vkBasalt.conf file into your Hunt: Showdown Steam folder.

2. Download Shader
   Place the Tonemap.fx shader and place it in the following directory:
   /home/YOUR_USER/.config/vkBasalt/reshade/Shaders/Tonemap.fx

3. Edit Configuration
   Open the vkBasalt.conf file and replace YOUR_USER in the path with your actual username.

Usage

• Launch Hunt: Showdown.
• Use the HOME key to enable or disable the gamma and sharpening effect.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, ensure that:

• VKBasalt is correctly installed and configured.
• The paths in vkBasalt.conf are accurate.
