Do you use reshade with ESO?

✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't use reshade on ESOThanks to folks for explaining reshade. I am guessing this is not something allowed on console. But it sounds kind of like the weather mods I slap into Skyrim. Except less features, probably... haha.0 -
kargen27✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes and my own reshade settingI'm still using SweetFX I think? I tweaked one of the presets on that a bit and I think I transferred the settings when I upgraded computers.

Sadly you can't do that on console also don't get to use mods which I couldn't imagine playing ESO without all my mods to show where all the skyshards, lorebooks and whatever else are.0 -

Always a plus that you can tweak everything to your preferences being it disabling half of the effects or adding more sharpness / blur to fit your current needs.4 -
Kadraeus✭✭✭✭Yes I downloaded a reshade pre-setdoes Reshade affect game performance? Lag or crashes?
It doesn't affect performance in my experience. At least, I don't notice any difference with the preset I use. Never crashed with or without it.
As others have said, it depends on which preset you use.Edited by Kadraeus on February 20, 2021 4:44PM0 -
DTStormfox✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't use reshade on ESOdoes Reshade affect game performance? Lag or crashes?
It probably does affect performance but it is based on the resources available on your computer. Personally, I already run the game on low for the best performance, so running addons like this will probably tank my computer's resources.
The question is not really IF it affects game performance. The question is to what extent does it affect game performance, in other words: how many FPS will you lose from running addons like this?
EDIT: Another question:
Does Reshade require mostly CPU power or GPU power?

✭✭✭✭✭Yes and my own reshade settingdoes Reshade affect game performance? Lag or crashes?
It depends greatly on what filters you use. The filters that modify colors, sharpen or soften textures, and other basic stuff have no discernable effect at all on any system from the last decade.
The filters that have to do lots of angular calculations, multiple passes and complicated geometry calculation can have a very negative effect on FPS. Anything that uses depth buffer tends to also be more intensive. Not to mention Reshade disables depth buffer access in online games.
One such filter is the Ray Tracing filter by Marty Mcfly (forever in beta on Patreon site). That filter makes my GTX1060 scream since it is a screen-space Ray Tracing filter. Lots of calculations.
If all you want to use is the color filters you can also try the Nvidia filter thing that is available for most newer Nvidia GPU. I haven't tried it for ESO though.1 -
Kadraeus✭✭✭✭Yes I downloaded a reshade pre-setTbh I prefer the colors with Reshade, though it depends which preset. I think a lot of the people who don't like Reshade just haven't seen one they like. Many of them look very different from each other, so it was hard even for me to find one I liked. Also, just the fact that you can tweak the color balance, brightness, contrast, and add filters is too nice.
ZOS' excellent world design helps a lot though

Zulera301✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't use reshade on ESOnah, I see no need. I can usually tell by someone's screenshots if they're using one too, and 9 times out of 10 it looks worse to me than vanilla.Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
"Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't use reshade on ESOI would guess I spend 70% of my ESO time in pvp, and I need a little load on the graphics and renderer as possible to limit load screens and crashing.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't use reshade on ESOI've looked at screenshots purporting to show all manner of "graphic improvements" over the years, and have yet to see one that actually looked better to me.
There's another advantage to playing the game in its vanilla form too. I wonder how many of those constantly complaining about this bug, that glitch, or the other lag, not to mention the disconnects and crashes, are actually playing the real game as opposed to some modified version of it?1 -

Well that would be zero of the console players for starters since they can't use mods or reshade...
As for me, I have virtually no problems playing the game with about 30 mods and reshade. Initial load in from character select takes an extra 15 seconds or so but that's it.1 -

You make a fair point about console players, I'll give you that

Not so sure about PC players, however, we know that certain addons tend to get turned off in Cyrodiil for performance reasons. Do you play in Cyrodiil? If so, do you keep them all enabled and not suffer any performance issues there?0 -

I agree, people post it and say it looks better but to me it looks worse and too saturated or weird
Everyone's taste is different though so it is ok
I modded prior TES games because they are quite old and dusty, but I think ESO still looks very pretty since it is not that old graphics wise

I've never turned off any add-ons while in Cyrodiil. The only times I have lag problems are when there is absolute mayhem all around me. I can guarantee it wouldn't be a reshade thing though since it is merely an injector and entirely GPU related. My 1060 and 5600x really never sweat it much in this game at all.
Switching add-ons off in Cyrodiil makes good logical sense even if it may be unnecessary. But it's a bit of a pain to switch off individual ones. Maybe there's an addon for that! 😆1 -

✭✭Yes and my own reshade settingI kept mine fairly simple, I just like things a bit sharper, crisper and to have more detail. I really love being able to actually see all the detail the artists put into their work.

I compared some of the before and after Reshade screen shots with what I see in game with my NVIDIA graphics. I don't see the washed-out look of the before screen shots on my screen. It seems my game is already about as good as the after screen shots, so I don't want to mess with the settings

Although it's not Reshade, this game mod pushes the in-game fog back about twice as far as the vanilla setting, allowing beautiful clear views but maintaining the depth that the fog creates at distances.
This is by far more important to me than reshade and something I notice missing after big updates.

To me the fog pushback is vastly better. Heavy fog makes sense for certain weather and environments, but this fog is ever present in all zones in this game. I think it's pretty awful.
I also use Reshade but it's very subtle and not even noticeable in these screenshots.1 -

✭✭✭Yes I downloaded a reshade pre-setI love reshade. I don't like it very intense but some distance blur and a bit of color boost really makes it better for me.
I will admit though that (at least the preset I use) makes it sometimes kind of difficult to see subtle animations in fights--things like the zaps before Relequen's overload in Cloudrest for example. Turning reshade off makes those things a lot easier to see but I like it too much otherwise.IGN @ emilypumpkin, imperial pumpkin seller & ghost hunter

RedSwallow✭✭✭Yes and my own reshade settingMade my preset from scratch: there's some color balance stuff, some gradient (pink to blue from top to bottom), maybe a bit of additional fog, overall gamma and contrast correction, a bit of bokeh for better screenshots with the sun.
Originally, I wasn't aiming to correct any lack of vanilla graphics, just wanted to experiment and see what good ReShade can do, and then just ended up liking the result. It feels more cinematographic for me (really cool with UI turned off and letterbox on, like a cutscene) and somehow makes differences between locations even more noticeable. Now, though, without reshade I feel like I need glasses or something xD
The problem with reshade is usually that it's very dependable on one's monitor and graphics settings, so it's most likely you end up with too dark/bright/contrast/saturated/warm/cold/whatever picture if you try using a preset made by someone else. Once you get a hold of it, there are some really cool possibilities for customization.Edited by RedSwallow on February 22, 2021 9:32PM3 -
