[Reshade 3.0] HD Contrast & Colour
Preset description:
I initially set out to transfer over the settings from a wonderful preset called "HD Realism" by SplitCoreGaming (https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5192/) to Reshade 3.0, but I ended up tinkering with the settings and created something new. The tonemap and ambient light settings were taken directly from the original preset (because they were perfect).
This new preset combines the flawless colour correction of the original (which gets rid of the game's overpowering blue tint) with settings that improve the game's contrast. Shadows actually have depth now. Night looks like night, and not early morning. I used to hate the jungle zones in the game because they were so bland, but this preset makes them look gorgeous. The forest feels much denser because of the accentuated shadows from the trees.
Performance hit: None (the preset doesn't use any taxing effects)
Installation Instructions:
1. Download Reshade from here: https://reshade.me/
2. Run the .exe
3. Click "select game"
4. Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client
5. Choose eso64.exe (or eso.exe if you use 32-bit client)
6. Select Direct3D 10+ and install all the shaders when asked
Once that is done, copy the preset file to your ESO client folder (the same folder in step #4).
NOTE: If it is too dark at night or inside buildings, make sure that the black levels on your monitor are properly calibrated: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php
