OptiScaler-FFXIV is updated to v0.2.0. It adds Automatic ReShade scene depth, an option that is off until you turn it on in the OptiScaler menu (the FFXIV tab, ReShade depth compatibility). When the game renders below your screen resolution, it lines up the depth, normals and motion vectors that ReShade effects read with the upscaled picture, so ambient occlusion such as MXAO stops drawing shapes into walls. Lucent adds its two new keys to your OptiScaler.ini switched off; nothing changes unless you turn it on.
Removes the Alive NEXT Stable 4K preset and the two shaders only it used (ffxiv_crashpad_4K and ffxiv_common_4K). Alive NEXT Stable stays. If the 4K preset was your selected preset, ReShade is switched to Alive NEXT Stable. If you edited the 4K preset, the update saves your copy as Alive NEXT Stable 4K (my edits).ini before it removes the original.
ReShade now loads every effect, including the ones your preset turns off, so the game can take a little longer to load, and it compiles shaders with debug information. Your keybinds and the rest of your ReShade settings stay as they are. It needs Lucent 1.0.2.
The Graphics step has three new choices inside the Neural Rendering card, in a collapsed Advanced section: the model hint each pass receives (Pass 1, Pass 2 and Pass 3 preset hint). Their effect on the picture is unverified. The defaults are what Lucent shipped before, so nothing changes unless you pick one, and they apply to a new install or Reset setup, not to an update.
The Graphics step has a new choice in the Neural Rendering card, Character preview Neural Rendering, which runs the Neural Rendering model on the character, equipment and glamour previews. It is Off by default because the model takes a lot of video memory for each open preview window; the previous setup had it on. It applies to a new install or Reset setup, so an existing setup keeps what it has.
