Built upon Reshade 5.8 and AmandsGraphics with weeks of tuning, adjustments, and testing the mod is finally ready to release to the public.

Enjoy EFT as it should be with no rusty orange overlay, no washed out colors, no fog inside every interior.

The aim of this mod is not to completely overhaul the look of EFT, but to improve what is already there. Designed first and foremost as a gameplay graphics enhancer and to deliver stunning visuals while not sacrificing FPS.

No in-game performance robbing Post FX is used.

When installing Reshade select your eft.exe in your SPT folder and press next, then select Directx 10/11/12 on the next screen, press next. On the Select preset to install screen, the file called Realistic Lighting for EFT-Tarkov-ReShadePreset should auto-populate in the bottom text field if you followed step 1. If it doesnt browse to your SPT folder and select it.

Effects that are included

Lumasharpen - It produces less aliasing artifacts with better performance.

prod80 filmgrain - Very light film grain effect. It's not my favorite effect but it does improve image quality in certain titles.

HDR (fakehdr.fx) - Without having the rendering information prior to processing, this as close to HDR as you can get.

prod80 colorbalance - A lot of tuning was done here on highlights, shadows and texture color. This is probably the most intensive adjustments made. I spent raid after raid procuring this setting.
