Xbox 360 Stuff Pack [v3.2 Beta]

NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED (2005) - XBOX 360 STUFF PACK
Version 3.2 Beta

This mod will try to make your game look more like Xbox 360 release of NFSMW (2005). This is beta release of new version, meaning that something may not look or work exactly as intended.

Key changes:

Xbox 360 shaders ported to PC version, although with various tweaks and workarounds because of missing graphical features:
_____Car Shader, which supports noise flake on metallic paints, normal maps (fake depth technique), radiosity (imitation of Ambient Occlusion) and visible sun specular
_____Visual Treatment filter, which gives more accurate Xbox 360 look
_____Xbox 360 sky, which has more depth to it thanks to horizon gradients and support for unique overcast clouds
_____Sky bloom which closer to sunset and during sunset emmits special bloom (blue during pre-sunset, red during sunset)
_____Reflections in building windows are distorted/transfomred in Xbox 360 way
_____Xbox 360 harsh shadow filtering
_____Xbox 360 water, with reflections and distortions
_____Xbox 360 trees, which have more vibrant autumn colors, especially during sunset

I'm testing on PC with Nvidia card and works great, but on Steam Deck (SteamOS) work partially . With NextGenGraphics.MostWanted.asi and XNFS-ShaderLoader-MW.asi the game won't launch. Tried the AMD fix, and DX9 to Vulkan but same results. If anyone manage to make work on SteamOS (or Linux) plz help us.

@KerA2589 I've tested it with a GTX 1050, and 10-30 fps is all i get.

@Polee what are you using to install the game? Lutris? Bottles? DXVK is already bundled with them and will handle DX9 to Vulkan translation. You don't need to use any of the Vulkan wrappers linked in the mod.
