[!NOTE] Since 0.7.7-Pre8, forced debugging is disabled. If you want to send a log file, set LogLevel=0 and LogToFile=true and zip the log if it's too big.

Automated

1. Extract all of the Optiscaler files by the main game exe.

[!IMPORTANT] (for Unreal Engine games, look for the win_shipping.exe in one of the subfolders, generally <path-to-game>\Game-or-Project-name\Binaries\Win64 or WinGDK\, ignore the Engine folder)

Example paths - Expedition 33\Sandfall\Binaries\Win64, Jedi Survivor\SwGame\Binaries\Win64, Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64, HITMAN 3\Retail, Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\binaries, The Witcher 3\bin\x64_dx12

2. Run the OptiScaler Setup.bat script for automating the renaming process. BAT install should work for the vast majority of cases.

[!TIP] 2a. For AMD/Intel, about using DLSS Inputs - it is necessary to select Yes if you intend to use Nukem mod, if you want Reflex->AL2 conversion (both require Fakenvapi), and especially if the game has only DLSS - (this step is equivalent to Step 3 from Manual install for AMD/Intel)

3. If the batch file wasn't successful, please check the Manual steps.
For AMD/Intel, it usually fails at locating the nvngx_dlss.dll (devs put it in an unexpected place). In that case, it's enough to follow Step 3 from Manual install.

[!NOTE] If you need Nukem or Fakenvapi, now check their respective pages:

[!NOTE] Pressing Insert should open the Optiscaler Overlay in-game with all of the options (ShortcutKey= can be changed in the config file). Pressing Page Up shows the performance stats overlay in the top left, and can be cycled between different modes with Page Down.

For more info, please check Readme - How it works?

[!TIP] [1] Linux users should add renamed dll to overrides:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dxgi=n,b %COMMAND%

[!IMPORTANT] Please don't rename the ini file, it should stay as OptiScaler.ini.

[!NOTE]

OptiScaler supports these filenames:

  • dxgi.dll
  • winmm.dll
  • d3d12.dll (from 0.7.7 nightlies)
  • dbghelp.dll (from 0.7.7 nightlies)
  • version.dll
  • wininet.dll
  • winhttp.dll
  • OptiScaler.asi (needs Ultimate ASI Loader x64 or similar)

[!NOTE]

Example of correct AMD/Intel installation (with additional Fakenvapi and Nukem mod)
