Clear Skies 0.2.1

Clear Skies 0.2.1: Linux is now one AppImage with the Clear Skies window, the same window as on Windows. Clear Skies brings Cemu's Clarity look, with all 20 presets, to Savage Wind Recomp. Linux support started with Danny Rashid.

Important

Made with AI. Every line of code, every test and these notes were written by Claude, Anthropic's AI, through Claude Code. A human, devall96, directs it and plays every build, but no human reviews the code line by line. You run it at your own risk.

Caution

No game files, and no Savage Wind, are included. You need your own working, set-up copy of Savage Wind. Clear Skies is a fan mod, not affiliated with the Savage Wind team, Cemu or Nintendo.

What's new

• Linux: one file, ClearSkies-0.2.1-x86_64.AppImage, in place of 0.2.0's tarball and script. Open it, choose a look, Browse to your Savage Wind AppImage (or drag it onto the window), press Play. If the Savage Wind AppImage isn't allowed to run yet, Clear Skies offers to allow it.
• Linux settings are saved in ~/.config/ClearSkies/clearskies.ini, with the layer's log next to it.
• Steam Deck and Steam: add the Savage Wind AppImage to Steam as a non-Steam game, with launch options /path/to/ClearSkies-0.2.1-x86_64.AppImage %command%.
• The AppImage also has a command line: --play, --preset <name>, --game <path>, --list, --no-play.
• Windows is unchanged apart from the version number.

Install

Windows: download ClearSkies-0.2.1.zip, unzip it over your old ClearSkies folder (or anywhere), run ClearSkies.exe, choose a look, Browse to savagewind.exe, press Play.

Linux and Steam Deck: download ClearSkies-0.2.1-x86_64.AppImage, right-click it, Properties, tick Allow executing file as program (or chmod +x it), then open it.

Known limitations

• Linux is tested on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and works fine in short testing. GitHub's check also builds the AppImage on Ubuntu 22.04 and tests it on 24.04: the command line, the window (on a virtual screen), all 21 presets through the AppImage's own layer, and Play with a fake game standing in for Savage Wind. Other distributions and the Steam Deck haven't been tried yet, so reports from those players, good or bad, help most.
• Browse uses your desktop's file picker. Where there isn't one, drag the Savage Wind AppImage onto the window instead.
• x86-64 only: no build for Savage Wind's experimental ARM64 AppImage yet.
• Windows is tested in the game on one PC (AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, HDR off). NVIDIA, Intel and HDR output are untested.

Open an issue with your system, GPU, the preset and clearskies.log.

Clear Skies 0.2.0

Clear Skies 0.2.0 adds Linux and Steam Deck support, by Danny Rashid. Clear Skies brings Cemu's Clarity look, with all 20 presets, to Savage Wind Recomp.

Important

Made with AI. Every line of code, every test and these notes were written by Claude, Anthropic's AI, through Claude Code (the Linux support too, by Danny with Claude). A human, devall96, directs it and plays every build, but no human reviews the code line by line. You run it at your own risk.

Caution

No game files, and no Savage Wind, are included. You need your own working, set-up copy of Savage Wind. Clear Skies is a fan mod, not affiliated with the Savage Wind team, Cemu or Nintendo.

What's new

• Linux: a native build of the layer for Savage Wind's AppImage. It uses the shaderc library the AppImage already ships, so there's nothing else to install.
• clearskies.sh, the Linux launcher: the same options as ClearSkies.exe, plus --list, --edit and --no-play.
• Steam Deck: add the AppImage to Steam as a non-Steam game and set its launch options to /path/to/ClearSkies-linux/clearskies.sh %command%.
• Windows is unchanged apart from the version number.

Install

Windows: download ClearSkies-0.2.0.zip, unzip it over your old ClearSkies folder (or anywhere), run ClearSkies.exe, choose a look, Browse to savagewind.exe, press Play.

Linux and Steam Deck: download ClearSkies-0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, then:

tar xzf ClearSkies-0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd ClearSkies-linux
./clearskies.sh --game ~/Games/Savage_Wind-…-x86_64.AppImage --preset serfrost

After that, ./clearskies.sh starts the game with your saved preset. The README has the details.

Known limitations

• Linux hasn't been tried in the game yet. All 21 presets pass the automated layer test on Ubuntu 24.04 (Mesa's software Vulkan driver), and the library runs on glibc 2.35 and newer, like Savage Wind's AppImage. If you play on Linux or a Steam Deck, please report back, good or bad.
• x86-64 only for now: no build for Savage Wind's experimental ARM64 AppImage yet.
• Windows is tested in the game on one PC (AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, HDR off). NVIDIA, Intel and HDR output are untested.

Reports help most: open an issue with your system, GPU, the preset and clearskies.log.

Clear Skies 0.1.0

The first release of Clear Skies, a mod for Savage Wind Recomp that brings Cemu's Clarity look to Breath of the Wild, with all 20 of its presets.

Important

Made with AI. Every line of code, every test, the icon, the banner and these notes were written or made by Claude, Anthropic's AI, through Claude Code. A human, devall96, directs it and plays every build, but no human reviews the code line by line. You run it at your own risk.

Caution

No game files, and no Savage Wind, are included. You need your own working, set-up copy of Savage Wind. Clear Skies is a fan mod, not affiliated with the Savage Wind team, Cemu or Nintendo.

What's in it

• Clarity in place of the game's own tone mapping: less haze, less blown-out bloom, richer colour. Clarity GFX by Jamie and Kiri with Crementif, from Cemu's graphic packs (CC0).
• All 20 of Cemu's presets: Serfrost's (Recommended, Dim Display, Bright Display), Bruz, CellHunter, Jamie, t3nka Neutral+, The Complaining Gamer, ViskClarity, Contrasty, Filmic, Survival of the Wild (Warmer and Colder), Godot's Mexican, Hexaae's Clear, MaranBr, YeMaoWuXin (Bright colors, Vivid and clear), Cobalt and User-Defined.
• All 65 of Clarity's settings adjustable in clearskies.ini, with the names from Cemu's pack.
• ClearSkies.exe: choose a look, point it at savagewind.exe, press Play.
• Nothing in Savage Wind's folder is changed, nothing is installed system-wide, and saves aren't touched. Start savagewind.exe directly for the original look; delete the folder to uninstall.

Install

1. Have a working, set-up Savage Wind. For a smooth first run, also use Precompile shaders in Savage Wind Configuration.
2. Download ClearSkies-0.1.0.zip below and unzip the ClearSkies folder anywhere.
3. Run ClearSkies.exe, choose a look, Browse to savagewind.exe, press Play.

Known limitations

• Tested on one PC: Windows 11, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, HDR off, in the game with Serfrost's preset. Every preset is also tested automatically on that GPU.
• Untested: NVIDIA and Intel cards, HDR output, Linux and Steam Deck (the layer is Windows-only for now).
• If a future Savage Wind builds the tone-mapping shader differently, Clear Skies leaves the game's own look and says so in clearskies.log.

Reports from other hardware help most: open an issue with your GPU, the preset, and clearskies.log.
