Sleeping Dogs:DE White screen (latest framework)

I thought I'd give the framework a try for the first time on this game. I tried to use the Mediator but every time I press the CONFIRM button after selecting the game .exe, an error pops out, "given path format is not accepted."

But I did not stop there, I decided to manually copy the files and run the game. When I run the game, the game cursor appeared, but the rest is a blank, white screen and it hanged there. Not even SFX 2.0 + latest ReShade works. Same thing happened.

I wonder what is wrong because nothing works at all. I am running on Windows 8.1 (64-bit) with Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Looks like it can't initialize while in full screen mode. I changed the game to run on windowed mode and now reshade is working.
