Description: Due to the confusion of some users I have created this little guide. I remind you that it is not necessary to use the executable
.exe of (Reshade) in both cases.
****
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 v1.2 (
FXAA ON) for ATS/ETS2 and (
FXAA OFF) for most games.
