If you dont know what the mod does exactly, thats fine, I’ll explain it.

shaders being used:

• [CAS.fx] a sharpener once for AMD cards, now for all cards. sharpening setting is at 0.86. very low.
• [Colourfulness.fx] adds color…this doesn’t use FPS.
• [GaussianBlur.fx] adds a little bit of blur to help smooth out rough edges. less demanding than aliasing.
• [PD80_04_Contrast_Brightness_Saturation.fx] these are the same settings that your televison and monitor have. adjusting these wont rob FPS.
• [Levels.fx] adjusts the black level to help get rid of the grayscale. a fancy contrast shader.

This ReShade preset uses around 1-5 fps. I’ve tested it on every map. There’s next to no FPS robbing effects being used. It adds some color and a very small amount of sharpening. NO RT, no GI, no DoF, no AO, no SSGI, etc.

I just did a Ground Zero raid and with many mods like SAIN, Looting Bots, and SWAG. I’m getting about 100-120 fps on Ground Zero in the same resolution (3440x1440 on an LG Ultragear 39“). I am using a 7900xt and a 7800x3d.

To test your own machine against this preset, load a raid and press ‘Home’ to open the ReShade GUI. Keep an eye on the FPS is the upper right corner as you deselect the each of the five (5) effects.

If you are using a bot spawning mod or any mod at all that alters bots and where/when/how/why or who it spawns, make sure the Bot Limit isnt set very high. I use a limit of 13-15 myself. Raids stay full, bosses and their minions spawn and the maps run great. Even Streets I get around 80-100 fps.

that sounds like an internal issue and not one caused by ReShade or Amands since those mods are on from the moment the game launches.

If the game were to CTD upon launch after a recent mod install, then that is the suspect.

what you can do is start with a clean slate. its what most people would recommend.

Got it, I’ll try. thx

looks good for me…?

this mod doesnt touch scopes. its only lighting and color.

ReShade does modify the API used to render all graphics. So if you are using a mod that also modifies the API then youre gonna get conflicts.

Some mods that change the resolution dynamically or the way scopes look dynamically, might conflict.

I am far from an expert on this subject though.

i can tell you this much

on 3440x1440p my fps on Customs averages 115 with the mod, 120 without.

hmmm

not sure. I havent ever played with Fika, although I want to try soon.

If Amands and ReShade were compatible in the past, i see no reason why this would change anything.

use a seasons mod and make sure you are on Summer

Thank you! It’s working

Which part of the description mislead you to believe that this part was used for this part and this other part was used for this other part. No parts were mentioned to be doing any part other than the fusion of two parts to create the whole part. There’s some parts to the first part that could do the job of the second part but the first part didnt come with all those parts. Maybe later I’ll release a part where its just one part that does two parts and I’ll name it Kojimbo0_0.

Translation:

Idk what you mean because I wrote, fusion of ReShade and Amands, I wrote that its an Amands and ReShade preset, I wrote the Amands is required. You can read what Amands does on that mods’ page if you’d like, I’m not gonna read it for you. Even on one of the screenshots I wrote ReShade color shading makes the scenes feel more alive. Pretty obvious what ReShade does at that point. Also in the download you can see the shaders and any average computer user will notice there’s no Ray Tracing or Global Illumination in the shaders folder, maybe I’ll make an RTGI preset and name it after you.

I think what he’s getting at is that since this is meant to be an addon for AmandsGraphics, it would make more sense for the before/after photos to show the difference between the visuals when using only AmandsGraphics, and the visuals when using your addon in addition to AmandsGraphics.

Since your “before” screenshots are of vanilla graphics, it doesn’t offer a good frame of reference for how your addon actually changes the visuals from a default install of AmandsGraphics.

this is meant to be an addon for AmandsGraphics

No it isn’t. This mod doesn’t add any features, modes, effects, etc. to AmandsGraphics. it simply tweaks the lighting values. Imagine we get the meat from Amands and I warmed it up or cooled it down.

make more sense for the before/after photos to show the difference between the visuals when using only AmandsGraphics, and the visuals when using your addon in addition to AmandsGraphics.

It makes zero sense to upload 4 screenshots of the same scene. Everyone will naturally refer to the first one and the last one. Before and after will suffice.

it doesn’t offer a good frame of reference

Before and after is literally the most highly effective way to document and change or transformation. Comparison 101 sir.

Now that all that is outta the way. I’m wondering if you two are confused. This isn’t default Amands with ReShade on top of it. I tweaked Amands lighting values to my own liking. For example I changed a 5.00 to a 1.21

This is why its redundant to add so many screenshots. Two of the screenshots would be for what the game doesnt look like at all ever.

My bad, I guess I used the wrong term

Sorry I should’ve been more clear about what I meant.

It wouldn’t be 4 screenshots of the same scene, it would still be 2.

1: With AmandsGraphics (default configuration)

2: With AmandsGraphics (your configuration) + your reshade preset

This comparison would show users what changes are actually offered by your configuration and reshade, i.e., what a user gets out of opting for your preset instead of simply running AmandsGraphics at default values.

The before and afters from MEOWSHADER by wara are a great example, I embedded the link to their images.

Keep in mind AmandsGraphics has 770k downloads, one of the most downloaded mods on the hub. And if it’s a requirement that users have it installed in order to use your preset, would it not make more sense to compare your preset with default AmandsGraphics? Otherwise, how does a user even know that you’ve made meaningful changes to the visuals with your preset?

Imagine we get the meat from Amands and I warmed it up or cooled it down.

If that’s the nature of your mod, then surely the comparison screenshots should be focused on how the meat was warmed up or cooled down.

Before and after is literally the most highly effective way to document and change or transformation. Comparison 101 sir.

I never suggested otherwise. What I said was that the vanilla EFT graphics weren’t a good frame of reference for a “before and after” of your preset.

To put it in Tarkov terms, using the vanilla EFT graphics as the frame of reference for your changes to AmandsGraphics’ config is kind of like upgrading an AKM and then comparing it to a Saiga-9.

Customs 2pm Default Amands no ReShade

Customs 2Pm My changes to Amands+ReShade

just tried that scope in game, the black one and the brown one, no issues on my end.

Not sure what could be causing that. Since it only occurs when using the scope while magnified and only while using one specific scope, that is unusual. I’ve been playing Tarkov since 2018 and I;ve never seen or heard of this.

yeah I dont understand it either. I havent tried other scopes, but in that one raid I used the Elcan Specter and it did that, so I uninstalled the mod as I can’t continue to play with that effect happening.

After uninstalling, that scope worked perfectly again. So for now I just cannot use this mod.

i dont use this preset so im just guessing but it could be this: Eye Relief Tweak
i use it personally and dont have any issues but ive heard of people having that issue

if i were using a mod that modified how scopes looked when zooming in, and it caused problems when zooming in, I think I’d know which shoe the rock was in.

as the wise Jaxorsmthng said, others in the mods’ comments have mentioned the same symptom as you.

A silver lining…

if you are still on 3.10.5 (still the best vs 3.11) then this mod does a similar thing as Eye Relief Tweak but doesnt conflict with ReShade.

@adudewithbadaim Eye Relief Tweak already doesn’t conflict with ReShade, i dont know where you got that from

i also don’t know where you got “3.10.5 is better than 3.11” thing, since its a really reductive statement but honestly i cant be bothered to even ask

Not really sure why I thought it conflicted with ReShade, was probably high.

i also don’t know where you got “3.10.5 is better than 3.11” thing, since its a really reductive statement but honestly i cant be bothered to even ask

this though…its more subjective than reductive. its even in the word (reduct). please dont flame on my mod page. I dont care about your opinion.

@adudewithbadaim didnt mean anything by it, have a nice day

У меня такая же проблема

FERS with the same scope or a different one? or all scopes?

С той же во всех прицелах где нет переменной кратности, после удаления все работает просто в оптике черный круг
