[SOLVED] Reshade not working with Citra Vulkan

When injecting Reshade into citra-qt.exe, loading a game causes it to hang indefinitely. This happens even if I change the api to OpenGL. Both the Reshade installer and Citra itself are set to use Vulkan/OpenGL in their apis, yet every time, the emulator locks up and says "not responding" upon loading a game. I'm able to use Reshade with other apps just fine. I have .NET Framework 4.8.1, I don't have any weird third-party software running, and the games run just fine if Reshade is uninstalled.

I've tried this on the old version of Citra from March, the latest off of PabloMK7's github, and Lime. All of them produce the same results. I would try this on an older version, but Archive is down atm. I have asked for help from the Reshade discord, the Lime discord, and the Nintendo Homebrew discord, and have gotten no replies. I have found many, many people across both Discord and Reddit that have the same issue, with no solution or cause.

I also found this thread , which came close to offering an explanation, but it still didn't help me. Here's the log:

I found the solution, in case anyone finds this thread:

You have to install Reshade with DirectX 11+. Now it will work, even if Citra is set to use Vulkan as the API.
