You can use the screen shot function built into Reshade. Please make settings from the GUI. By default, it is captured with the PrintScreen key and saved in a folder with TS3.exe. (File path is different for 64bit OS)


You can also use an external capture tool. Because the GUI capture function can not choose the Jpg format, I took a screenshot with Bandicam and uploaded it

The installation method of Direct X is a little complicated ....

First, open the downloaded end user runtime and choose the location where you want to deploy the installer. (Recommended is the Any folder on the desktop)
Next, run DXSETUP.exe in the folder of the deployment destination and install Direct X.

done!

It's a very nice preset for all intents and purposes, but I can understand why there is some confusion over how to install and use it. I've made mine as easy as can be, so that no one will be scared off by it.

Hmm ...
Are you running the installer with administrator?
If not, try right-clicking the installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

If it is still not good, please comment again with the error message and the graphic board you are using.

DOF is off by default. To activate it, open the GUI with Shift + F2 and enable LightDOF_far and LightDOF_Near on the Home tab. Or you can activate Far and Near DOF by pressing F7 key and F8 key.

So, quick question: I installed this and all the necessary components. It looks great. However, now my game looks very bright, very...bloom-y, on the loading screen, menu screen, portrait panel (somewhat) and notifications/pop-ups/mouse-overs, as well as white, reflective and/or light-emitting objects. In your description, you mention turning off the visual effects to get rid of bloom, but there is no option to do so in the in-game graphic settings. Most I can do is set it to low. Is there a way to actually disable the visual effects or was this a mistranslation? I really like your preset but if I can't get rid of the bloominess, I'll have to uninstall it. It's very distracting and hurts my eyes.

In my preset, I use the Bloom effect of Reshade by turning off the Bloom effect of TS3. Unfortunately the interface will also become dazzling, but this is set to give you the best results in the screenshot.
To turn off Reshade's Bloom effect, you need to uncheck the item from the GUI or adjust its value. Please open the GUI with Shift + F2 and uncheck Bloom.fx and MagicBloom.fx from the Home tab.

When running reshade, I keep getting the error "unable to extract the downloaded archive." Has anyone else had this issue?

Edit: Turns out I just needed to download the latest version of ReShade, not the one linked in the description. Everything is working now

I had the same issue installing 3.0.8 from the repository and it turns out that version in particular seems bugged for some reason. It never generates a Reshade.ini file and all the other Reshade releases install fine. However, I keep installing other versions of Reshade and I either can't get it to work, or I can turn on all of the preset shaders except for the depth 3d shader, and I think it doesn't look at all like it should. Since I can't find just the Reshade.ini for 3.0.8 anywhere, could I ask which version of reshade you installed and what shaders you had turned on to get it to work (was it 5.7?)? I am using it with the Buhudain overrides as well since it was in the instructions.
