Tried to set up Reshade. Failed.

I saw pictures of Reshade and thought. Oh hey! This looks cool! So I looked into it and there were absolutely no guides about how to install it onto FFXIV. So I read the instructions themselves on the download website and it SEEMED simple enough. Just attached it to my game API (My APwhat?...) Looked up game API's. Found nothing. So I scrolled around my FFXIV folders and Reshade would not accept any of the files. Finally like a Derp I just attached it to the launch file. Now my FFXIV launcher comes up, but whenever I log in and hit the play button, I get MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem... Looked up MSVCP110.dll, for the first time I actually got some results. Apparently it is my Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio. Checked the read me. Said that was required but I should already have it. So I thought what the heck. I will download it anyway. Downloaded it. Nothing changed. So I have my UI's and shizzle backed up. But redownloading the game sounds like a pain. Is there any way i can fix it without having to completely uninstall FFXIV and reinstall it?

 

P.S. I tried doing the RESET on the launcher to default game settings. It brought up a yes or no. Hit yes. Then the launcher stared at me blank faced like nothing happened. Didn't fix anything.

P.S.S I don't know that I actually broke my FFXIV. I imagine getting reshade to work would fix it. But I am pretty bad at getting it to work.

What do you mean "Attached it to the launch file"? Could you elaborate on that a bit more, please?

 

Also as of right now FFXIV does not have a public API.

 

SweetFX is the only injection shader I know that works properly.

"Run the provided "ReShade Setup" tool, press "Select Game" and browse to your

targeted game's executable file. The setup then tries to detect which API the

game uses for rendering and uses that knowledge to continue the installation

progress." is what the readme says. I guess I did it right if that is the case? Maybe?

 

I went to my Local Disk -> Program files (x86) -> Square Enix -> ffxiv -> game -> Then clicked the application file

 

SweetFX is what I was trying to put on by the way. Just I thought I needed Reshade to run it?
