Still working ok. Some weather variants come to newest gta patches but it's not a big problem.
@bizZz0n: If you want to be banned then yes, you can use it on online. But who cares about GTA online, since it's a hackers town.June 16, 2021 -

My game is not crashing at all. I have 2GB graphic card and the game is stable.
June 19, 2021 -
Just a question, I have recently installed this mod and I like how it looks but I also have been running the All in the game mod from 2015. My game consistently crashes after a while of adding these two mods. I can't quite seem to find any reason for it. Has anyone else had this problem with this mod?

hey great mod! is it possible to pair it with natural vision evolved? and which order?

After trying vairous recent complex graphics mods, I find this simple yet elegant. Maybe an ten-year-old game was never meant to be relying on heavy enb and loads of overhaulings to make it apperas as next-gen GTA 6. Still, wish the 3.0+ version had come out. Salute to you @Xilandro.

Status update July 22, 2017. Wild ride is coming to an end, I'll be done with the mod update pretty soon (expect it to hit ~1.5 - 2 weeks after "Natural Vision Remastered" release). Main version doesn't look like those washed out shots I've posted year(s) ago, daytime lighting for clear\sunny weathers was significantly changed to fix most terrifying thing I've made to it - shadows were almost non-existent, game became just incredibly flat and it lost the depth. I liked it back then, it kinda looked like proper bounce light, but it wasn't, and after playing with it for couple of hours it felt really wrong. So, yeah, mistakes were made. I guess now rHancer is more like an old versions, very close to revision 3.0, but still different, fixed, and just overall better than 3.0. Also, thanks to Razed I've added a bit of fog for them mountains (no idea how it happened, but he managed to convince me _some_ fog is fine). Long story short, here's a quick comparison (ghetto quality, sorry for that): http://i.imgur.com/IAtSFyB.png
I know there are few good guys who liked the new-old washed out look, so expect it in optional files (different sky brightness options included as well).
Other than that, insane amount of work went into sunsets, sunrises, night time, overall color and intensity balancing. I'm not saying it's good\great\whatever, but it's consistent in quality at any time of day, at any height, at any place, and it's 100% playable (at least for now, lol).
What's left to do: Foggy weather. No idea why I even bother with it, but it should be done. Need to rework bloom for all weathers, it still kinda sucks, I think less is better, but I like to have tail lights on cars with slight bloom, so I still can't make my mind about it. Reflections are a bit off, I'm leaning towards ENB car reflections for the main version, yet non-enb should look at least good, without making roads and buildings like mirrors (aka vanilla style), I need to figure it out. And I need to rework clouds. Things I've done to sunsets and sunrises are so different from Revision 3.0 - vanilla clouds just look terrible now.
And I'm going to remove "Photorealism" word from the mod. It's not photoreal, and never was, no idea what I was thinking =D
And that's pretty much it. Stay tuned for more, and expect simple (very basic and quite boring with bad driving) gameplay trailer sometime next week.
