Field notes
Patina uses an in-game overlay opened with the Home key, allowing players to toggle effects and adjust shader settings while the game continues rendering. Its stated compatibility model targets Metal itself rather than a fixed supported-game list. The page catalogs 485 files from 44 ReShade packs, including community packs such as SweetFX, OtisFX, Depth3D, and FXShaders, and shows example presets for The Sims 4, Cities: Skylines, and Cyberpunk 2077.
