Ah, if only reshade would work well with DXVK on Linux...

I was really interested in trying this, however, the one thing I was wondering about is how to remove it if is something I decided it wasn't to my tastes.

In the installation video, it just showed it overwriting files but no instructions on which specific files to back up just in case.

There should not be any files overwritten when installing the Reshade, it should all be additional files. At least that was how it was for me, although I haven't installed a new Reshade version in a long time, so my version is probably an older one. Therefore I don't know if there has been changes that now require overwriting things?

But in any case if you want to back up, you should simply backup all the loose files in the client folder (...\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client). Don't back up the folders in there, just all the files in client. That way if you want to revert you should be able to just copy them back in (of course if ESO gets updated in between you will have to do a repair to have the latest updated files redownloaded).

This is ESO with my tweaking of Reshade effects. If it has any interest I can post a dropbox with the tweaked reshade files. This style may not be for everybody's taste, but I really like it. Also excuse the low fps, I have an aging gtx690

Omg, this is stunning! Could I trouble you for the preset? I'd love to try it out.

This is why I use nvidia freestyle. I really can't compare it to reshade, however in terms of ease of use, freestyle is just so simple. So far I'm pleased with the results I've gotten.

I originally, long back, started out with Xerrok's ESO preset; but I changed a lot of values etc so it's not much left visually from that. (the Xerrok's version I started out with can be found here: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7089/)

INSTALLATION:
1. Run the ReShade 3.0.7 setup (https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_3.0.7.exe)
2. Select game -> eso64.exe
3. Check 'Direct3D 10+'
4. Click on 'yes' when you're asked to download and install a collection of standard effects
5. Download my tweaked preset from here: Dropbox link to my files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1vqfxybm6unaokr/jayman1000 reshadeini + shaders.zip?dl=0)
6. Unpack to your client folder
7. Ingame press Shift + F2 and select jayman1000.ini


Note that there's newer versions of Reshade which you can find here: https://reshade.me but I do not know if newer versions work well with my edited presets. 3.0.7 is the version I use to get the effects in the video. I also changed some code in some of the shaders, so that is why I am including them (unfortunately I cannot remember where I changed what!)

I ❤️ Reshade.

I really like it, could you post some other more 'colorful' zones?

Thank you!! Are you running ESO on Steam by any chance? I have a non-Steam version of ESO and I remember in 2016 having to do some wonky edits to the Reshade files in order to make them work nicely with ESO (for example changing the extensions from .fx to .reshade) but I noticed in your Dropbox file that your Reshade files are the standard .fx. If Reshade works out of the box with ESO nowadays I'll totally install the latest version of Reshade to make this work. @-@

Reshade (SweetFX) since the first day I started playing, I can not imagine playing without.

I have three accounts, two for my kids (of which one is a Steam) and one for me. They don't want to play so much anymore, but when they finally did the damn Steam login errors had to happen .

Reshade worked for me almost out of the box. However I had to manually edit some paths to the Reshade folders in the Reshade configurarion while in game (Shift-F2). I hope you can figure that out if it also does that to you.

Are these even allowed?

That said not to incite anyone but i'm not seeing a huge difference other than lower lighting?

It's just graphical enhancements, it can't possibly give any advantage to anyone. More like the opposite I would say. Now that you mention difference I think I should have disabled the effects just to show the difference; there most certainly is a noticeable difference. I'll see if can make some comparison shots later

It's sundown/evening i Stormhaven, but you can see a good representation of colors at Undaunted Enclave some minutes into the video (I'll see if can make a day shot in sunshine of Gold Coast or Grathwood, lots of colors in both places. But here is Stormhaven: https://youtube.com/watch?v=t0gtQBDqZdc&feature=youtu.be

I'd install reshade but the last time I tried doing it it crashed my game upon clicking "play" on the launcher. bypassing the launcher did not help either, not sure what I did wrong

This is the best reshade by far - I've tried them all

I had tried a few from Nexusmods but I didn't try this one yet. I will now after I reinstall the game, it looks a lot better than the one I was using.

This is beautiful! Is this more taxing on your graphics card/does the game run worse with it open? I can barely run the game smoothly at high quality but I hate how washed out everything is.

mocap

too dark and contrast imo, i prefer a lil bit brighter

It does tax my card, how much that is varies a lot depending on what is on screen. From 0-15 fps I would say when I just use 1920x1080 resolution and no 4K DSR; with 4K DSR it's something like 10-20. I got a gtx690 and it's age are beginning to show. You'll have much less negative impact on the newer strong cards.

That's a nice image There is not one perfect configuration, people have different tastes and I personally really like that darkness and contrast

JJBoomer

is there a way for people who play on macs to use this? I would love to try it!

Ashamray

My reshades, adore it!

I like that too, got that gloomy cinematic style. Not for everyone, but definitely gives out a moody feel

NolaArch

I tend to make mine pretty colorful, but I love it. I don't enjoy playing as much without it anymore. So worth the time it takes to get it just where you want it.

Yeah every time I disable the effect I shudder at the sight and quickly enable the good stuff once again

Interesting colors you got there, very fantasy like, nice!
