[SOLVED] ReShade 0.18 & SweetFX 2.0 (Bioshock 1 & 2)

First off, I would like to thank you for your dedicated work on this project. This project has breathed new life into old game titles that I like to re-play every now and again.
I would like to pick some peoples heads for some information, I have hit a snag... I am trying to get my Bioshock 1 and 2 to work with ReShade 0.18 & SweetFX 2.0. I had a peek at the games compatibility list, which says it does support DX10/11. (DXGI) Now, Bioshock 1 & 2 does have DX10 support, however, I can't manage to get ReShade and SweetFX 2.0 to work on DX10.
However, there is some good news; I have succeeded in getting it to work just fine if I force DX9 via Steams' launch options. I doubt I have to say this, but one loses a lot of visual quality between DX9 and DX10. Things like reflections, improved shadows, steam etc etc. So I would really like to get this to work with DX10, I have googled and searched the internet to pieces, but I have found now threads or topics that relate to this problem.
I use Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64, I don't know if that should be a problem. I have succeeded in getting it to work on my OS on multiple other games with DX8 / 9 / & 11. *Edit* On second thought, I have removed DX10, as I struggled to get that to work with Deus-Ex 1 too, I had to use the DX11 from kentie.net in order to get it to work right with DXGI. I hope this helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Simply put, as I launch the game and enter the menu, it does not say anything about the shader being loaded. Which I can confirm as I don't see any changes being done in the game.
I have included a link to the log file for you.
www.filedropper.com/dxgi_1
I hope that are able to get the file all right, I don't know of a very good website to quickly upload small files. I tested it, but hell, I dunno...

Mind creating a tracelog (rename the .log to .tracelog and run again)?30/04/2015 17:19:54:648 [14860] | ERROR | Failed to initialize Direct3D10 renderer! Check tracelog for details.

Do you mean you're getting 18.3 to work on Bioshock 2? DX10 or DX9? I've pretty much given up on DX10 with the game, it just crashes way too easily, even without reshade or sfx. That still doesn't explain why reshade won't even start with the game though, that's still a mystery to me.

Tried sweetfx 1.4, cannot createe dxgifactory2 error, tried disabling steam overlay, tried a 1.1 exe crack from Detonation group no, none of them worked.
Nvidia 540m gt + Intel Hd3000 optimus, w8.1 x64. Game is running on Nvidia. Didn't try Intel as it would be horrible.
Any thoughts?

Will be "fixed" with the next release (it however adds two additional draw calls to the pipeline when not on Windows 7),

Geez, I am so blind, I really hate my eyes. I only now saw that the thread has more pages, I thought you forgot about me Crosire. Irony is, you must have thought the same of me. Sorry about that. lol, Anyhoo...
I have tried 0.18.5, the things I have noticed;
Bioshock 1 launches with dxgi.dll now, however, the game looks like this. It doesn't matter what settings I change in my video adapter options or in my SweetFX_Settings. It's the same even if I use DX9. With 0.18.3 it looked fine with DX9.
As for Bioshock 2, it launches, then, immediately closes down, it doesn't matter if I use DX9 or 10. As before it works fine in 0.18.3 with DX9
As I said, I use Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise
My computer specifications are:
Intel 4670k
MSI Z87 GD65
8GB G.Skill 2400Mhz
MSI GTX 760 4GB
