Pimp your Pinball Arcade with Reshade

[ducon2016]

I am finally back after years of being overworked. Taking a break doing what I love, making games better. One thing that was low in my todo list before was to improve Pinball Arcade. I still prefer the fun fluid feel of Pinball Arcade than PBFX3 or Visual Pinball X. The problem is the game looks seriously dated, so I improve it a bit with Ambient Occlusion, Screen Space Reflections, Regrading, and a ball that feels like rotating instead of just sliding.

 

1. Download this Pinball_Arcade_Reshaded_v2.7z and unpack everything into the same folder as PinballArcade11.exe and then just run Pinball Arcade as usual.

2. To use the ball textures, you need to put them in the Pinball Arcade Loader folder and enable CUSTOMBALL when you launch with it.

3. Make sure to disable MSAA and use oversampling in the game options to reduce aliasing. For exampleI used 2560x1440 internal resolution to play at 1920x1080

4. I also recommend adjusting the lightness to your taste in the game table options.
