So I am on the Steam Deck, using SteamOS and have ReShade (v5.9.2 - latest) working in most other game, and I can get it to work in FFXIV if I use DirectX 11 (d3d11.dll; 64-bit version).

For a while I couldn’t get it to load in DirectX 9 at all, but through some meticulous trial and error, got the loading to finally appear using the 32-bit version of the DLL (and named d3d9.dll).

But it crashes almost instantly after the loading text appears (loading shaders about 20% in).

I have also tried starting up the game with each of the different window modes (Windowed, Windowed Fullscreen, Fullscreen), but same result.

Does anyone have a sense if what the solution to this might be, experienced similar issues, or have had success using ReShade with FFXIV in Linux/SteamOS/Proton recently?

Thanks

PS. I can get FFXIV game to start up successfully using ReShade 4.9.1 (32-bit), but none of the shaders actually work (compile errors on every one I click).

PS2. The reason I am trying to get it working for DX9 is that it performs about 15-20 FPS better than DX11.
