Hello again,

I got the video uploaded. I have not dubbed in any sound - what is heard is from game. I have recorded samples of the 'Game Filter' (nVidia) overlay in use and written text that I hope is useful.

There seem to be a few 'tricks' to getting the game filter to work but once it's sorted and working it seems to do a great job.

EDIT;

Hmmm ... Although the video is correct, it seems that there is another way to get the game running with the overlay filter on (Enable Experimental Features). I just tried again and simply restarted the game several times - each giving the blank screen or simply closing itself. On the fourth attempt the game started. There seems to me to be some sort of problem in memory or via game / overlay structure files that is, maybe, marking the game as already running or some how 'flagged' as to not be able to complete the game start up. It's gone 02:30 here and I need to sleep. If I find anything useful when using ESO + nVidia Geforce Experience another time I will post here.

Anywho, The video is here;

First screenshot is without overlay, second screenshot it with overlay

Interesting, I had lots of issues with this black screen, where not just the game crashed, but also my PC got freezed, and the only solution was the shutdown with the power switch and restart. Surprisingly if this happened, all my addon settings were resetted (after I removed AUI, the addon reset didn't happen anymore, but the crashes still continued). I could find out that this happened when I was using another internet-based programs, like Discord or browser.

Yesterday I updated the NVIDIA driver first, but suddenly the above issue happened again, then updated the Experience, and after that everything was smooth. I wonder if I could solve the crashing problems? Hopefully.

@RouDeR, please share what filters and settings you used to get that result. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Snapchat filters for your video games. Color me unimpressed.

Snapchat? You mean that thing that lets self-absorbed people overlay cutesy-pootsey filters and drawings over there selfies so they can share their "oh so important and original" moments with everyone they know?

Yah, this isn't that.

This is more like a real-time photo-editor that you can use to correct or enhance the visual acuity in a game for a more immersive gameplay experience.

Although it can't show your "friends" how you can turn your face into a raccoon face! lol.

I can't seem to get it to work. I have everything updated, i clicked the enable experiment and i restarted it but still nothing. Am i missing something?

Edit: I had to reinstall the drivers and it seemed to do the trick.

That's a very nice looking video and a good example of the filter in use. Took me near an hour and 3/4 to upload my 1080 vid! Goodness knows how long it would take me to upload 4k. Not got the fastest connection.

Edit: I just sent a brief feedback report to nVidia about the issues I have had with the experimental feature.

oh, damn nice!! it was not working for me somehow yesterday. I could not open the filters menu.
I even changed the shortcut keybiddings, but it did not work for me, any ideas why?

Not sure if this is your issue but I found that Tamriel Trade Center's client causes problems. If it is launched first it will trigger the overlay and not ESO. I work around it by launching ESO, alt-tab'ing to desktop, launch TTC, then alt-tab back to ESO.

Otherwise maybe try reinstalling the latest drivers.

Most of what ails the look of the game is from setting your Gamma too high. There is no need to use third-party graphics modifications to fix that. You can fix most issues related to the washed-out look of the game by simply lowering the Gamma, incorrectly written as Brightness on the Calibration screen. The default Calibration suggestion, which is to “Adjust Brightness • The Middle Logo Should Be Barely Visible” is terribly wrong. Instead, set it so the right-most logo is barely visible.

I was so excited to see those screenshots and the I clicked on "show" button and now my day is RUINED!

Sorry for the ruined day, @MjolnirVilkas

My OP was updated with the screenshots (took a bunch with Steam overlay, didn't captured the filters, had to take some new using the Nvidia's overlay).

I like these settings. The only change I made for me was to raise Sharpen to about 50%. I am not sure if it is just me or if it is because I use Nvidia's DSR to run it at a higher resolution than my monitor, but by default everything seems too soft for my taste. The sharpen setting improves that a lot and makes it look better to me. It is interesting that you updated your post to lower sharpen to 5% from 10%. Do you have ESO's anti-aliasing turned on? Maybe that is why it is too soft for my taste. I think ESO uses FXAA.

It was night time in the game when I tried your settings. I am anxious to try later for some daylight views.

Lowered Sharpen to 5% from 10% and raised Clarity to 55% from 50% (to diminish some sharpen artifact at distance).
I'm using ESO's Antialiasing, monitor's native resolution (no DSR). When I use DSR to reach 4K, I set DSR Smoothness to 0%, maybe your smoothness settings is high (default is 33%)

Ah yes. Forgot about that setting. I will check it later today.
