Hello.
Some time ago, around july, I discovered that with ReShade 6.5.1 installed, games stopped launching. They just hung in endless loading.
At the same time, if you select the wrong DirectX setting, the game starts. The problem is with the correct DX settings.

Games I tried this with (Steam):
Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition - the game does not start with the correct settings.
Oxenfree - the game does not start with the correct settings.
ICEY - a game I played in december 2024 and I know for sure that ReShade worked in it. Now it does not work.

What I tried (nothing helped):
Nvidia 566.36 drivers were installed. I tried to install the latest 580.88. Then 572.42.
Tried old versions of Reshade: 5.9.0, 6.3.3 (found in the trash, old, I'm sure it worked on them) and even 4.6.0.
SweetFX 1.5 doesn't work either. HOWEVER, SweetFX 2.0 works, but it's pretty slow, especially when exiting the game (tried only on Oxenfree).

Updated Windows, in particular Framework (but still on Win 11 23H2) rebooted the computer.
Disabled Steam and Nvidia overlay.

I've read "Introducing: Easy Troubleshooting " and none of that helps.
I ran it as administrator and in compatibility mode (both the game and Reshade).
I added it to the antivirus exception (although there were no problems with this before).
I've tried all the APIs.
I've tried renaming "dxgi".

I don't know what else to try...

And yet the next morning I figured out what else I could do and it worked!
I had to delete the Xbox app and everything worked right away.
I installed it a long time ago to update the joystick and forgot.

Hmm... And now Horizon with reshade (where the anti-beard mod is) suddenly started to launch in a minute, while without it it would launch instantly. How f*cking annoying...
