Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - no go

I cannot get ReShade Framework 1.0.0 to work with Arcanum. Mediator detects .exe as DirectX 9 game. I tried both d3d9.dll and OpenGL32.dll, but neither makes the Framework shaders work. Any ideas why? Could it be just a 2D game? Can Mediator tell that is it a 2D game? Is there a way to apply ReShade Framework to 2D games that use software rendering or DirectX 7?

It was released 2001, so I'm guessing Direct3D 8: Try and rename ReShade to d3d8.dll.

No go...
