The Witcher fans, here is something for you today. NexusMods’ ‘hub997’ has uploaded a version of Durante’s GeDoSaTo mod that is compatible with the first The Witcher game, adding Ambient Occlusion support to it.
The Witcher is a really old game and since CD Projekt RED has not added support for AO via a post-launch patch, this is a must-have mod for those that want to replay it. Now if only someone could update its textures with ESRGAN in order to provide sharper and more details visuals… but anyway.
All you have to do is download GeDoSaTo from here, extract “GeDoSaTo.zip” wherever you want, run “GeDoSaTo.exe”, change options according to your preferences, minimize and enable the game.
The latest version of GeDoSaTo improves system path detection for WOW64, improve handling of swapchains, fixes some crashes, e.g. LRFF13,, fixes console rendering in some games, and fixes crash if there is no “C” drive.
hub997 has also shared some comparison screenshots in order to showcase the Ambient Occlusion effects that are added to the game via this method. Do note that Reshade cannot enable AO even in its latest version in this particular game.
Enjoy!
