Windows 7 does not have that entry point in the system DLL, only Windows 10 does. ReShade however has it too for compatibility with Windows 10. Now on Windows 7 the game sees that entry point in the ReShade DLL and thinks it can safely call it (which it cannot since ReShade doesn't know where to redirect that call to as the entry point doesn't exist in the system DLL) and ReShade therefore errors and crashes.
It might be enough to simply have that function return an error code when on Windows 7. But I don't have the game to verify that.
What I find strange that it doesn't work when renamed to "d3d11.dll" though, since that would have been the most obvious solution. Could you post another log of what happens when installed as "d3d11.dll"?
Interesting, Unwinder the author of MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner Statistics Software did say something about how the game was using the D3D feature levels (One of the newer D3D11_x ones perhaps.) and had to update RTSS to be compatible with this mode, guessing it's what the above does, checks for this particular function and if available the game tries to use these features but it needs a newer OS version to function.
And not just the D3D11 Windows 7 platform update though going by the game text strings there's a check against if that's installed too but that's not too important for ReShade and this issue, saw the commit on Github checking for OS version and redirecting the CreateDXGIFactory check, hopefully that works for people who are affected by this issue.

Shadow of War only run fine with Reshade 2.x and Reshade 3.x under Windows 10.
But if you are running it with Windows 7 64bit, it would crashes.
And if we renamed the injector from dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll, Reshade would not load at all, and no create log file at all (wierd).
The only solution with Windows 7 64bit is we should using SweetFX 1.5.1 (by Boulotaur2024).
And then everything will run so fine (of course, with limited standard shaders; if compared to Reshade Framework).
Also, we cannot access depth buffer in this game.
