Hello, I seem to have some graphical issues regarding the rearview mirror? Seems to have some graphics/textures missing such as the roads. Also seems to "spill" outside of the rearview mirror shape area if that makes sense.

@elaymm4 Are you going to add the true Xbox 360 overbright shader ? Because PC's overbright shader is just broken (I think) and overexpose the sky which looks white with a hint of blue bloom at the edges of buildings etc.

@elaymm4 I want to report a bug. The overbright setting doesn't seem to work when coming out of tunnels even when the setting is turned on. In my testing, when I turned reshade on & off, it somehow triggered Xbox 360 like overbright exposure in the whole scene(not just in the sky) like when we come out of a tunnel. But the problem is that it gets stuck and doesn't go back to the normal exposure. It all happened when I turned every option ON in the Xenon effects script with "UseD3DDeviceTexture = 1".

I just wanted to add that, for those who are noticing that the game is missing shadows, for example, sinais, icons without shadows, I saw that the "IDI_WORLDNOFOG_FX" file does not change anything visually and the shadows are buggy, I deleted the file and all the leftovers are visible .
