Darker colors in Diablo 3 (Direct3D filter)

Here's a video showing Diablo 3 with a darker color scheme. It works as a direct3d post processing filter, making the game look sharper, have less saturation, add a slight bit of a (silver) sepia tone, slightly lowered exposure, slightly raised gamma. [NEW - WEBSITE & DOWNLOAD] Preview with screenshots, compare and download all the different effect presets in one place. Downloads are now only avaliable from the site, due to unreliable file hosting sites. Disclaimer: What you are about to download is a Direct3D hooking filter. It is a DLL file and some shader filter files that you place in the game's install directory. IT DOES NOT MODIFY ANY GAME FILE OR PROCESS MEMORY. The Steam Overlay and the FRAPS fps indicator use a similar method to change what directx and your video card renders on screen. BUT still I'm not 100% sure if something like this is allowed by Blizzard or whether they will count it as a “mod“. So use it at your own risk, even though I've used a filter similar like this for WoW for a year, it was called ENBSeries, some others used that and never heard of anyone getting banned for using it. Current issues: -There is no Mac OSX version of this.. yet. Sorry I didn't mention this before. [CRASH AFTER UPDATE? READ THIS] -The game seems to crash with the ““ file in the folder the FIRST time you launch the game or after a patch update. To resolve this, rename ““ into something else, then launch the game, close the game after, then rename the dll file back to ““. Then try to launch the game again. -Mumble users: The Mumble overlay conflicts with this and causes the game to crash if you try to run it with this on. You can disable the Mumble overlay for Diablo 3 to fix this. -MSI Afterburner OSD users: The Afterburner OSD conflicts with this, just like the mumble overlay. You can probably disable it just for Diablo 3 in the settings. -NVIDIA OPTIMUS based laptops [FIXED]: The game will be forced to run on your integrated card (not your nvidia card) and will have really bad performance if you use this filter and you have an Optimus technology based laptop. [FIX]: On the website, download the darkd3 utility program (read the information first) by clicking on the “Extras“ button. -Running FRAPs, or launching the game with Steam Overlay, with MSI Afterburner Onscreen Display, or the Mumble overlay make the filter possibly not work or cause a crash. (The MSI Onscreen display can possibly be fixed by following these instructions: (Instead of BF3 it would be Diablo III)) [POSSIBLE CRASH FIX FOR OTHER PROBLEMS] Some people have reported that using the “Optimus fix“ in the Extras utility fixed the crashing problems for them, even if they didn't have Optimus. The reason this might work is because it makes the game use the with a different name, making the overlay programs or some other programs using hooks not conflict with the filter therefore not causing a crash but the conflicting overlay might not work properly anymore. Instructions: 1. Visit select and preview the effect you wish to download. 2. Extract the contents of the downloaded zip into the root directory of your Diablo 3 install. 3. Start the game and turn off/on the effect using the Pause key on your keyboard. 4. If it doesn't work read the current issues list at top. Credit: I take no credit for the actual coding and creation of the DLL file and shader filters, I based this on this mod for skyrim: The only thing I did was tweak the filter settings to match what you see in the video. Tweak it yourself: If you know a little bit of coding and c syntax you can open up the file darkd3_Settings.h in notepad and edit the filter values yourself.
