Misc Solstice - Graphics Mod with Realism in Mind 6.0

[GTAce]

GTAce submitted a new resource:

Solstice - Enhancement for Sol

DISCLAIMER: Graphics mods, ReShade presets and PPFilters are always a matter of taste. I'm not saying this is the best mod out there, but I personally like my settings more than anything out there.

Anyway, this is Solstice, my personal enhancement for Sol and the Shader and Lights patch. Its origins come from my Project CARMEN graphics mode, but since things like weather and particle effects are now controlled from Sol and the SLP, it didn't make sense to downgrade that mod....

GTAce updated Solstice with a new update entry:

Different file structure

Changed the Sol config file location so it won't overwrite the default one. Thanks @Peter Boese for pointing it out.

Every version so far is causing AC to crash on launch and I can't find a way around it. Using the latest CSP and Sol versions, install according to your instructions.

Edit: 2.9 broke my AC install completely, even after reverting the backed up files. Are your files overwriting the settings of a particular mod? Because dialing everything back to vanilla and re-enabling CSP+Sol makes no difference.

That's weird. No, the only files overwritten, pre-2.9, were the Sol config, the particle effects .ini and of course ReShade.
Must be something else on your end.

working fine here .. just went back to my own particles.ini .. the particles effects in your .ini are too low for my taste

Hi there,

This looks really awesome but I am having trouble installing it. I have Sol 1.2 and CSP 0.1.25 Preview 129. I followed the instructions to drop the replacement folders into the AC root folder and the documents folder. I selected "Solstice_by_GTAce" as the PP filter in Content Manager.

However, when I get in game... I can't see any difference, and also the "w" and "q" keys have no difference. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Can you screenshot your AC root folder?

Reaching out here to say I have the exact same problem; I'd install the tested CSP version, Sol 1.2, then Solstice and afterwards I can't launch races in CM anymore regardless if I revert the files or not. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the game to try it again only to get the same result. I hope there's a fix, the screenshots look really promising.

I don't understand the issue, unless something went wrong with your install.
The folders should look like this:

Hi there, I've investigated further. I missed out a crucial detail in my description earlier: I am running VR (Sumsung Odysee Plus). I have since tried it on single screen monitor, and it is definitely active. I can bring up the menu using 'q' (but didn't notice much FR difference with the Reshade on or off).

But... I can't get the menu up in VR, and I don't see any sign that it's in effect...
