So I just started playing with this shader and it's amazing! Looks incredible in Elex, for eg.
Two things:
The performance hit is gigantic -- in Elex at 3440x1440 I drop from 100fps to 60 by enabling Magic Bloom. Even Marty's MXAO only hits for about 9 fps.
When first enabling it, the screen blinks like the whole display chain is resetting or something. Magic Bloom is the only one of the 72 shaders I have installed that does this. Could this be related to the performance problem? And -- reading elsewhere about Magic Bloom disabling itself if it's not in the right load-order spot -- perhaps this is also a function of how it appears to be initialising itself (given the whole display flickers on and off)? Wondering there may be code fixes requied, for someone knowledgeable enough to do so.
