ESO Graphics Extender Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.0.1

by: Jizargo [More]

Disclaimer: I will do updates on this site first since I have direct access to it. So if this gets approved check ESOUI for updates in the future or my eso forums post.

(I highly recommend using Votan's Darker Nights addon. It will automatically adjust gamma levels according to the time of day)

In Settings > Addons > Votan Darker Nights > set New Moon to 80, Full Moon to 90.

ESO Graphics Extender 2.0.1

Finally the most massive ESO graphical overhaul has been released. With the newly released shader pack for Reshade 3.0.7 there are some really neat effects you can replicate in ESO. After weeks of tweaking and consulting with shader programmers I've finally finished this master piece. This is more than just a Reshade preset, it also contains slightly modified shaders for ESO and increases the view distance drastically, so there is no longer a blue tinted fog everywhere. This preset is based off Ultra Real Lighting and Colors, adjustments were made mathematically with a bit of eyeballing on the side. There are several differences between this overhaul and any other preset. The aim of this project was to replicate visual enhancement mods seen in Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind with ENBs and such. SweetFX previously did not have the tools to do the things we can achieve now in ESO.

How to Install

(As requested, I've provided a video tutorial here)

https://youtu.be/OOWHRKA10AQ

Copy the Reshade files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client
Extract Hook64 and use Launcher64.exe to start ESO
Press RShift + F2 to bring up Reshade GUI, if you have drastic performance problems (5+ fps hit) go to Settings, Usage mode, then click performance mode.

*Note: If reshade disables the preset when the GUI disappears then click Settings and do the following
Input Processing: Block input when cursor is on overlay
Under User Interface check Show Clock or Show FPS (This will keep the GUI active to avoid the bug. Crosire is aware of this issue)

What is all this?

ESO Graphics Extender is a combination of multiple tools and shaders. We use Hook64 to increase the draw distance and remove some excess fog. Reshade is used to render the graphical enhancements, and this specific reshade has been modified to allow depth buffer access at all times. In the public reshade there is a netcode to disable depth buffer access to prevent reshade from being seen as a cheating device. ESO however is aware of reshade and hook64 hence you cannot exploit the game with it anymore nor is it against their rules.

For those of you who are familiar with SweetFX you may have seen other presets. However this reshade version has been developed along side some really neat shaders. We can now achieve things like DOF in ESO which was huge for me. As well as the preset being specifically developed for extended view distance. This is still a WIP so please take screenshots and report any problems that occur. I'm aware of the black texture issue and am looking to fix it if possible.

-Known Bugs-

1) Reshade doesn't render unless GUI is active.
Solution: Shift+F2 then click Settings, then change Input Processing to "Block input when cursor is on overlay". Now under user interface check show Time/FPS.

2) Crash on Startup
Solution: Rename dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll

3) No shaders showing up in reshade menu
Solution: Check d3d11.ini and dxgi.ini if the paths are set correctly for you game and shader folder.

4) DoF doesn't work (or everything is caught in DoF?)
Solution: Full screen breaks DOF, change to Windowed Fullscreen.

Never heard of this problem, go to www.reshade.me and ask them.

Launcher64.exe always tries to launch the Steam launcher even if the game is already running. Then it says "unable to connect to Steam" and logon is impossible.
Yes I've changed all the paths, etc.
Too bad.

Please confirm if this works for you.

Go to https://www.gamemodi.net/#hook64 and download the latest version at the top right hand corner.

If it does I'll update the Hook64 version.

Since Patch 16 hit my Reshade aint working. I can pull up the menu, but he does not show me the Shaders. I can see my various presents, however choosing one does not show the shader settings as it used to. Now I tried with your version, same deal, does not show Shaders, whatever present I use.

Any ideas?

Edit: Fixed it myself. Had to edit a couple of .ini files where the wrong and/or incomplete path to the shaders was set (for whatever reason).
In case anyone has the same problem: Check d3d11.ini and dxgi.ini if the paths are set correctly for you game and shader folder.

I explained in detail why this is the case.

Back during launch the draw distance was tied to character load distance. This caused Hook64 to be exploitable in Cyrodill as you could see people further away than others.

ESO did a simple fix for this, make the object/world draw distance different from the Character load distance. There's no way to change this, and if you did you would be banned for cheating.

They announced that they did something to improve performance. So yes, they changed something in CC.

they did this during launch. It was to prevent cheaters in cyrodill.

They've only done minor things, like limiting the face count of all small detailed objects and bug fixing the performance issues in their engine. IIRC someone on the forums mentioned that the engine was adding a new texture for every texture that should of been repeated. So it was using more memory than it needed to and this downed the performance in some areas this was a problem. Like the thieve guild area.

Edit: Also the particle effects were probably optimized, they still don't let you show other player abilities in cyrodill but now there is a toggle for PVE. So I'm guessing one of the biggest issues with performance is those fancy abilities being spammed by 10000 people. Considering we're all using 1 core, this just adds to the problem.

why ? I used 4 , and received a gain turn on hypertraining (8) .

I think the problem of the range of characters it is possible to resolve the manually settings , I do not talk about cheating , played before СС patch (only Hook64):

Code:

ObjectDrawDistanceMin=0.6
ObjectDrawDistanceMax=3.5
EnableLowQualityModels=True
SET PFX_SUPPRESS_DISTANCE_v2 "50.00000000"

I did not try to look through the binoculars from the alesia to the brk , but the enemy offensive saw far ,
probably this distance was 600 meters . The problem will be the influence of the resharde on the FPS .
Need to find time and friend for visibility range tests /

Decrease. But it makes the game much more beautiful, if you like the effects that is.

Did you extract all the files to the right place. Reshade probably isn't even running.

I highly recommend to avoid any of this kind of addons in the future cause the authors generally distance themself from any damage taken to your files and your system. Also those kind of people don't warn you enough and don't explain* (maybe they can't cause they don't understand) why system files are been changed in order to surprise you with this "bit of upgraded" graphics. (They worked 5 minutes / Also pre-configuration not very beautiful.) Warning: IF THIS ADDONS FAILS AT YOUR PC - ANY REPAIRING, RE-INSTALLING, AND COPYING CLEAN FILES TO ANOTHER DIRECTORY WONT HELP Last edited by dramaturic : 03/06/18 at 09:39 AM.
