It works for AMD and Nvidia

It hasn't been officially confirmed whether or not this mod is allowed in this game yet. So be careful with this. While the fog really does annoy me, allowing texture mods can lead to a slippery slope of people using texture mods to see through walls, and highlight healers in PVP. Amongst many other possibilities to cheat.

There is a thread over at reddit that allegedly has a response from a ZOS support person saying it's ok. I wouldn't trust that this is 100% legit but here is the info and link:

It is safe, I got in touch with ZOS about using this beautiful SweetFX. Here are the emails if interested. Reason I asked this was because the last post had a lot of concern over using this in ESO.
Me: I read a forum where someone has enabled SweetFX in The Elder Scrolls Online. This SweetFX removed the red tint which honestly is much easier on the eyes and an overall more clear look! Now this is just my opinion and I understand that, but my question is would it be okay if other players and I used SweetFX in The Elder Scrolls Online? Without the concerns of a ban or something else? I respect ZOS which is the reason I'm asking this, plus I'd hate to see other players banned for this. Thanks for your time, and hope to see you in Tamriel!
ZOS: Greetings traveler!

Me: You guys over at ZOS respond so quick and you listen/respond to community feedback so well, it's awesome. Which just makes my physical collector's edition purchase I made back in February even better. Tell everyone around you I said thanks for the customer service. I work at Amazon and love when another company is so friendly. Okay I'm done lol!
ZOS: Greetings Traveller!
Any software that you use without it influencing other players is okay for us, as long as it´s on your system only. We do not support any 3rd party software obviously, but if you want to try, there´s no harm done.
If there´s anything else I can do, please let me know.
Kind Regards Cedric The Elder Scrolls Online Team
Me: Thanks Cedric! One last question, would you be okay if I posted this email response from you on the reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline subreddit? If not, I completely understand. Reason is will be to give peace of mind to players that are not sure if this SweetFX is something that could cause a ban.
ZOS: Hey again.
I can´t explicitely say yes or no, that´s actually up to you. Me personally - I´m ok with it, if it helps other players.
Kind Regards Cedric The Elder Scrolls Online Team
TL:DR - ZOS said it is okay to use SweetFX

SweetFX isn't a texture mod though. Everything it does is done through shaders. It doesn't actually alter any of the game files.

SweetFX just tweaks graphics in a similar way NVidia Inspector or something tweaks graphics.

All it does is alter the shaders and coloring, so ofcourse it's legit and not against any rules... if it was, adjusting the colors on your monitor would be too

Thanks for the tip man, game looks sweet(fx) indeed

Again, if you can see on your screen, something that makes it so you can see through a wall, or highlight healers, or what not, it may not physically effect another players game, but it will effect their experience, give you a super huge advantage, and it is cheating, again, be careful. People can go through the same method as whoever the creator of SweetFX went through to make mods that would do as I stated above, in which, it would be considered cheating. As far as I know, the team is STILL looking into this. Just don't be surprised one day if it suddenly doesn't work. Or if you suddenly cant log in.

Rather like many of the graphics mods for Skyrim, looks rather pointless.

Osi

Yep, have everything checked and can't get it to work. Shame too.

Edit - Got it to work. RadeonPro and Windows do not mix when you install in the Program Files x68 directory (it's protected, even if you run as an admisistrator).

Just make a new folder on the desktop, Desktop -> SweetFX Files-> put all the files from the SweetFX rar here and direct Radeon to look in that folder instead.

... All it does is adjust your "video card's" settings... it does "not" alter anything "in" the games... but yeah sure.. .wear a tin foil hat and go off on how it "could" potentialy disable walls and mark healers... sure... go ahead...

This is an FXAA Injector style software that does nothing but enhance graphics...

Osi

Just FYI, might want to move this to another forum area. This is more suited to player guides or tips, not for the support forum xd, although I appreciate finding out about this.

You apparently were not able to clearly comprehend what I wrote. I said OTHER people could use the same method that the creator of this mod used to create OTHER mods that could allow people to see through walls. Think before you insult.

Haven't had any issues. The patches shouldn't interfere with anything.
