Installation advice.

This installation is recomended for experienced Reshade users only, if you don't know how reshade works and you dont know how to use it, try something else.

This files might work with other games that also use Directx 10/11/12 but its usage its not recommended, as they were tunned strictly to be used with Mass-Effect Legendary edition.

Using this with other videogames might be useless.

You will need to install the same files on the folder of each game inside the LE to make them work.
installing only in the Mass Effect 1, means you wont have the reshade in the 2 and 3 naturally.

The paths may be different depending on the version of the game you have licensed.
Steam users may have different files, but the overall usage is the same.

The files should be contained where the actual executable (.exe) of the game works.

In my case is:
(path) Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\Binaries\Win64

its important the files to be in the same location of the bink2w64.dll as well as the game it self
(NOT TO CONFUSE WITH THE GAME LAUNCHER...)

If you install this files in the Game launcher folder, the reshade will only work at the launching.
You want to use it the right folders, and that means, the Mass effect 1, 2 and 3 respectively...
As example above:

ME2\Binaries\Win64

If you install this correctly, you should see the reshade working immediately as you enter in each sequel, then if you press 'home' button in your keyboard you open the reshade console, displaying the filters, and where you can also make your own preset (not recommended for inexperienced users)

Inside the the console you have a default preset, that gives you solid FPS, but if you have a strong graphics card and you want a higher quality preset for better lighting you can try the ME redux version that adds a few extra filters for a higher fidelity lighting, with more fps drops in exchange.

If you dont like the results, or the game experience, just delete the files you pasted.
their installation wont harm the game it self, they wont corrupt the game unless you delete by accident some of the game files, pay attention to the file names...

- the reshade-shaders folder contains the effects
- the dxgi is the plugin that make everything work....
the other files are configurations.

Enjoy!
