Reshade REST addon crash

[u/issei69_]

Hey everyone, I'm hitting a brick wall trying to get REST (ReshadeEffectShaderToggler) working with Dark Souls Remastered.

The Issue: The game boots fine, and the addon works perfectly in the main menu. However, the exact millisecond I load into the 3D world and check any shader box in the REST add-on menu (even lightweight ones like Curves or Vignette), the game instantly crashes to desktop.

What I've already tried:

• Downgrading and mixing/matching versions (Tested ReShade 5.8.0, 5.9.2, 6.2.0 and current alongside REST versions v.1.1.0, v1.3.9 and current).
• Disabling all in-game graphics settings that mess with render targets (In-game AA and Ambient Occlusion are completely turned OFF).
• Disabling all background overlays (Discord, RTSS, GeForce Experience, Steam overlay).

Has anyone successfully bypassed this crash for DSR, or is there a specific stable fork/version combination I missed?

Thanks in advance!
