  5. Change the multiplier at 0xF808E9 from 00 00 80 3F to a value representing your float value multiplier (default multiplier is 1.0). Remember to invert the byte order to Little Endian.

Notes

Use this online float to hex converter.

Post-processing

Disabling depth of field makes the graphics appear sharper and more detailed.[7]
Toggle post-process effects[8]
  1. Download Yooka-Laylee 3D Vision Fix.
  2. Extract the contents to the installation folder.
  3. Start the game.
  4. Press F3 to toggle the bloom effect.
  5. Press F4 to toggle the depth of field blur.

Notes

By default the game effects aren't modified. You can change the default state in the [Constants] section of d3dx.ini.
Users with AMD GPUs need to delete the file nvapi64.dll.
If no change occurs when using the hotkeys, download the current release of 3Dmigoto and use its d3d11.dll file instead.[5]
