Wait... What is ReShade?
Good Question!, as I've stated above ReShade is basically an Open source program used to add Post Processing Effects (Fog, Sharpen, Ambient Light, Adjusting Curves etc.), Basically, you can make the game look more vibrant and less blurry, or the opposite if that's what you wish.

For those looking for a more specific explanation, here's a piece of information taken from their website:

"ReShade is an advanced, fully generic post-processing injector for games and video software developed by crosire. Imagine your favorite game with ambient occlusion, real depth of field effects, color correction and more ... ReShade exposes an automated and generic way to access both frame color and depth information (latter is automatically disabled during multiplayer to prevent exploitation) and all the tools to make it happen.

The possibilities are endless! Add advanced depth-edge-detection-driven SMAA antialiasing, screen space ambient occlusion, depth of field effects, chromatic aberration, dynamic film grain, automatic saturation and color correction, cross processing, multi-pass blurring ... you name it."

Woa I have forgotten I made this guide :steamhappy:, I believe it should still work if it doesn't let me know!, also, ReShade wont trigger any anti-cheat measures in Foxhole so don't worry about it.

Phisher not sure if you are trolling or just a moron? XD

well this is another proof VAC or any other anticheat isnt in the game at all and therefore easy 80% of the players are cheating.
every proper anticheat does not allow render tools of any kind, Foxhole and its developers
obviously and undeniable allow and tollerate cheating of any kind

I did yesterday with latest version of ReShade (4.9.6). It's "AdaptiveSharpen" from legacy presets. When you choose the modules you want to install, it's the last one at the bottom of the list. When the 2nd choice appears, it's in :)
