Goodbye, Yellow Filter!

So, we’ve all seen certain films and shows using that obnoxious yellow filter, right? It’s that cinematic style thingy that makes scenes look like they were filmed through a urine-soaked lens. We’re looking at you, Traffic and Breaking Bad! This delightful hue is lovingly termed the “Mexican filter,” but it works just as well for tropical vibes or to make everything appear a touch more… dehydrated.

Fast forward to Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, where Edward Kenway is donning a complexion that says, “I spent too much time on a beach that was really a swimming pool full of bleach.” Yes, the yellow filter returns to make our pirate adventures look less like a thrilling journey and more like a color-bias nightmare! Honestly, I was fine with it until I stumbled upon some before-and-after snapshots that clearly showed how much it dulled the experience. Spoiler alert: it really was a ‘before’ and ‘now-I-need-sunglasses’ situation!

Mod It Out!

Enter the hero of our story: Blu, the modding wizard, has stepped in with a magic reshade called ACBlackFlag Natural Colors! What does it do, you ask? Well, it kicks the yellow filter right in the shins and brings back those beautiful, vibrant hues we all crave! No more washed-out colors; it’s basically a spa day for your screen.

But wait, there’s more! To get this wondrous reshade working its magic, you’ll need the latest version of ReShade. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out the ACBlackFlagFix mod that can rectify more than just the filter. You can uncap the cutscene frame rate – because who doesn’t want that silky smooth flow? Plus, it can let cloth animations wiggle at 60 fps, and it even removes those pesky pillarboxing borders.

And if you’re feeling particularly impatient (hey, we’ve all been there), grab the Fast Launch mod to blast through those torturous startup videos like a true pirate! Because why wait when you could be pillaging and plundering instead?
