Graphics overhaul for FiveM

L1 Realism

Five looks built on QuantV, a real night sky with the galaxy and northern lights, nights you can actually see in, and an app that installs, tunes and updates it all for you.

What L1 does

Better looking nights, days and everything in between

L1 sits on top of QuantV. QuantV does the heavy lifting on lighting and materials; L1 adds its own shader, tuned looks and an app that sets it all up properly and keeps it working.

In game

A real night sky

A photo-style galaxy, shooting stars and northern lights in teal and violet, drawn only where you can actually see open sky, never through buildings or trees.

Nights you can see in

Surfaces lit by headlights and street lamps get brighter while the dark around them stays dark, so night looks moody without being pitch black.

Weather moods

Every weather has its own colour grade for day, sunset and night, so rain feels cold and grey and clear evenings glow gold.

Reflections

Glossier paint, chrome and rims, wet roads that mirror street lights, shinier building windows and tinted glass that stays tinted.

Cherry blossom & V2 clouds

QuantV's cherry blossom trees and volumetric clouds are switched on in every look (Lite uses the lighter cloud setting).

Sharp and clean

Smart sharpening and clarity that bring back texture detail without halos, plus anti-aliasing and no film grain.

The L1 app

One-click install

Finds FiveM, installs ReShade and L1, and checks every file afterwards. Drop your QuantV download on the app and it installs that too.

Presets your way

Switch looks, pick the one FiveM starts with, and import presets other players share as .l1preset files with a double-click.

Fix & Optimise

Looks at your PC and suggests settings for more FPS and fewer freezes, with one-click undo. Built with handhelds like the ROG Ally in mind.

Graphics & sound packs

Installs pack files from your own download into the right place, backs up anything it replaces, and leaves out fire, lightning, vehicle and weapon files.

Updates itself

When a new version is out, L1 shows an Update button. Every update is checked against L1's signature before it installs.

Clean uninstall

Restore puts every original file back exactly as it was. Diagnostics and built-in help sort out problems when something's off.

Five looks

Pick your look

Summer, Golden Hour and Cinematic are built on Realistic, each with its own twist. Switch any time from the app.

Realistic

The base look: natural colour, true-to-life light and soft, readable nights.

Summer

Brighter, punchier and more colourful. Deep blue skies and a warm sun.

Golden Hour

Warm amber light through the whole day, like it's always just before sunset.

Cinematic

Film-style contrast, cooler shadows and a gentle highlight roll-off.

Lite

The everyday look, lightest on FPS. Great for handhelds and busy servers.

Install guide

Up and running in five minutes

  1. Download L1

    Grab L1RealismSetup with the button on this page. If Windows says it "protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. It shows that for any new app that isn't from a big publisher.

  2. Close FiveM and run the setup

    L1 checks your PC and finds FiveM. Click Install. It installs ReShade and L1, then checks every file.

  3. Add QuantV

    Download QuantV from its official page (L1 can't include it). Drag the QuantV zip onto the L1 app, or let L1 find it in your Downloads.

  4. Pick a look

    Open Presets in the app and choose which look FiveM starts with. In game, press Home to open the ReShade menu and switch looks.

  5. Play

    Start FiveM as normal. L1 will let you know when there's an update. One click and you're on the latest.

You'll need

  • A Windows 10 or 11 PC with FiveM installed
  • QuantV (your own copy)
  • Microsoft Edge WebView2. It's built into Windows 11, and L1 tells you if it's missing

Good to know

  • Don't tick Performance Mode in ReShade's Home tab. It stops QuantV's lights, dirt and other settings working (bright white lights, dirty cars). Running Repair in L1 switches it back off.
  • Want more FPS? Use the Lite look and the Fix & Optimise page.
  • To remove L1, open the app and click Restore, or uninstall it from Windows Settings. Your original files go back.

Fair play

  • L1 only changes how the game looks. It never reads game memory or changes gameplay.
  • It doesn't let you see further or clearer than other players.
  • Check your server's rules on graphics mods and packs.

Just want the QuantV side?

L1's looks as plain QuantV presets. They need nothing but QuantV, but you won't get L1's night sky, brighter nights or weather moods.

Changelog

What's new

L1 0.23.0

Latest
  • L1 now updates itself: when a new version is out, the Manager shows an Update button and installs it in one click.
  • Every update is checked against L1's signature before it runs, so only genuine L1 releases are installed.
  • The L1 website: downloads, install guide and this changelog.

L1 0.22.4

  • Realistic uses a new grade tested by players at night: flatter, more natural daytime contrast, softer and less blue nights.
  • Summer, Golden Hour and Cinematic keep their own daytime looks with the new night grade.
  • Headlights are back to the brighter beams from 0.22.2.

L1 0.22.2

  • Graphics packs: standing near a fire or bright light at night no longer plunges the whole screen into darkness.

L1 0.22.1

  • Much lighter black point, so night scenes and firelit areas keep their detail. Deep daytime blacks come from day contrast instead.

L1 0.22.0

  • Install graphics packs (timecycles, weather, clouds, light settings) straight from your own download, with a backup and one-click remove.
  • Packs' fire, lightning, vehicle and weapon files are left out automatically.
  • Cherry Blossom and QuantV's V2 clouds in every preset.

L1 0.21.0

  • Rebuilt Manager: faster, with every install checked file by file.
  • Summer, Golden Hour and Cinematic are now built on the Realistic look, each with its own twist.
