4.select install just the Legacy Package. Click "Check All" on the Legacy page.
4a. if you wish you may install more packages but might run into duplicates if installing all
5. at the very least you must have the Legacy Package **MAKE SURE YOU SELECT ALL BOXES WHEN INSTALLING OR ELSE YOU WON'T HAVE THE FX USED IN THIS SHADER**

Performance Issues?
I have included a low, medium, high, and ultra in this. Choose your flavor. If you have performance issues with this you can turn off some of the settings in the reshades or just choose another. Also read part C.
