Compatibility in Games and GPU:

Reshade v3.0.8 is for GPU range (medium and high)
SweetFX v2.0 for any GPU

I recommend Reshade v3.0.8 + preset v1.4 (FXAA ON) for ATS/ETS2 and (FXAA OFF) for most games.

Reshade v3.0.8 Final:

Copy the new files to the game path. Run the game as an administrator (Permanent Permit) after completing the entire process.

Important: Replace the following paths in dxgi.ini, d3d9.ini or opengl32.ini**

Example:

- EffectSearchPaths=C:Game\Cars\reshade-shaders\Shaders (Effect)
- TextureSearchPaths=C:Game\Cars\reshade-shaders\Textures (Texture)
- ScreenshotPath=C:Game\Cars (Screenshot)
- PresetFiles=C:Game\Cars\Vivid and Realistic Colors Final.ini (Preset v1.4)

Reshade menu: Activate with Shift + Delete. The key to activate and deactivate Reshade is INSERT or DELETE. By default it is activated when the game is started.
