A simple and lightweight ReShade preset that improves visibility and enhances the overall look of EFT by making the game sharper without over-sharpening it or making UI elements an eyesore to look at.

Hey! This is NOT A MOD. This is a ReShade preset, meaningthis is compatible with all versions of SPT/EFT. Simply drag and drop the contents of the “sharpertarkovbetterlife” folder into your SPT folder so that “dxgi.dll”is in the same directory as “EscapeFromTarkov.exe”

**If you wish to uninstall, simply delete the files that are added by this ReShade preset.

You do not need any mods such as Amand’s Graphics to use this preset, HOWEVER it is highly recommended.

Tested with TAA High Anti-Aliasing, but it should work with most Anti-Aliasing.

I wouldn’t recommend using any other methods of sharpening such as any present in EFT’s Settings and so on.

No, this DOES NOT reduce performance significantly UNLESS you are GPU bottlenecked.

Press HOME to open the overlay menu.

This preset looks even better in-game, please try it rather than just staring at the images.

Previews can be found here.

- Removed unnecessary header file. Doesn’t really affect anything but figured its good practice.
- Removed effect toggle key. Add this in manually via the overlay menu.
- Changed overlay menu key to HOME.

- Changed texture search path to proper directory. Doesn’t really affect anything but figured its good practice.

Looks great! Still looks like the tarkov I know, but less muddy.

Does this make people easier to spot? I find in vanilla enemies often blend into things very easily, which wouldn’t be much of an issue if enemies couldn’t spot me immediately under the same conditions (and That’s Lit is a performance hog sadly).

There’s a clear difference in the comparison shots even though it’s subtle, not sure why people are being weird about it. Overall I like the look of it, nice clear upgrade to vanilla visuals.

Using this on my laptop and desktop now, I like that it’s subtle and makes things sharper without blowing out the image. Just feels a bit clearer and doesn’t drop any fps. I think people are being a bit overly harsh. The differences are observable in the before and after, just in very subtle ways in the small details.
