How To Disable Sharpening in Elden Ring Nightreign
Just make sure you play offline.
Elden Ring: Nightreign uses the Elden Ring engine and its many assets for a completely new experience set in the world of Limveld. The game has a big focus on cooperative play, but if you’re someone who likes to play solo, there are ways to improve the visual experience of the game.
The game has a fairly distracting sharpening filter enabled by default, with no option to disable it in-game. Thankfully, you can remove the filter using a mod created by huutaiii.
Disable Sharpening Filter in Elden Ring Nightreign
Just like the chromatic aberration mod from huutaiii, you need to play in offline mode if you want to mod Elden Ring: Nightreign as it requires EAC to be disabled. Without EAC, the game will not connect to the servers at all.
With that in mind, if you’re playing solo, follow the steps below:
- Head over to the following Patreon link.
- Download the following files by clicking on them under “Attachments”
- steam_appid.txt
- DisableSharpenFilter.7z
- NIGHTREIGN-ModLoader-v0.11.0-Release.7z
Disable EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat)
Since you are modding the game, online play will be disabled for this mod to work.
- Head over to where Elden Ring: Nightreign is installed.
- Place the steam_appid.txt in this folder (ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN/Game).
- Now, open Steam, right-click on Elden Ring Nightreign in your library, and select Properties.
- In the General tab, add the following command bekiw Launch Options.
cmd /c start nightreign.exe & rem %command%
- It should look like this:
Once EAC has been disabled, we can install the mod file.
Install Mod Loader
Next, need to install the mod loader.
- Extract the NIGHTREIGN-ModLoader-v0.11.0-Release.7z file into the Game folder.
Install Chromatic Aberration Mod
Finally, you can install the mod to disable chromatic aberration in Elden Ring: Nightreign.
- Extract the DisableSharpenFilter.7z file into the Game folder.
That’s all you need to do to remove the sharpening filter from Elden Ring: Nightreign while you’re playing in offline mode. All credits for the mod go to huutaiii, and you can check out their work on Patreon. You can also disable chromatic aberration using a mod from the same author.
I have to highlight this again, but only use this mod if you intend to play Elden Ring: Nightreign in offline mode.
Removing the Mod
To disable the mod, simply delete the files that came with it and remove the launch command from Steam.
