Hello, I am experiencing a launch failure with ReShade in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Description of the issue: 

• When ReShade is installed, ETS2 does not launch at all.
• In Steam, I click Play, it shows Launching, and then it immediately returns to Play.
• No game window appears.
• When ReShade is completely removed, the game launches and works normally.

  Important details: 

• This happens even with a clean ReShade installation, without loading any preset.
• The preset is not the cause.
• The issue occurs with ReShade installed alone.
• The only time the game reached the main menu was when forcing OpenGL (test only).
• Even in OpenGL, the game crashes when loading a save (entering the 3D world).
• Using DirectX 11, the game does not launch at all with ReShade.

  Additional context: 

• I initially noticed this issue while testing the Project Next-Gen (PNG) graphics mod.
• However, the problem persists after removing PNG and all other mods.
• Therefore, PNG does not appear to be the cause.

  Steps already tested: 

• Clean reinstall of Euro Truck Simulator 2
• No mods installed
• DirectX 11
• OpenGL (test only)
• Renaming dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll
• Clean ReShade install (no preset)
• GPU drivers up to date

  Result: 

• Without ReShade → game launches normally
• With ReShade → game fails to launch (Steam returns to “Play”)

  This appears to be a compatibility issue between ReShade and ETS2’s rendering pipeline on my system. Thank you for your time.
