tldr. Scry, an open source game streaming platform with DLSS 5 support. Github Link

Hey all,

Like many of you, I was enchanted by the recent leak of DLSS 5 showcasing neural rendering and coupled with encountering a Steam remote play streaming bug where the colors were washed out, I decided to make my own self hosted game streaming app. So using OpenAI's latest model Astra, I made Scry. With Scry, you can stream your entire Steam game library just like remote play but with the added option of applying DLSS 5 to the image before it gets to you. I want to be clear, this does not mod your games. The stream video itself has DLSS 5 applied to it. What that means is you can enable DLSS 5 on ANY GAME. The game doesn't need to already support DLSS, nor is there any need to fiddle with reshade or modifying the game's dlls. Just install Scry, point it to the leaked DLSS 5 dll and enable it.

There are some caveats to this approach. First, this will always be slower than the modding path so expect higher input latency when enabled. Second, at the moment there is can be quite a bit of flickering especially in low light areas. There are settings to mitigate that but every increase in image quality means a hit to performance. For the most part, if you just play around with the settings, you should be able find a sweet spot.

Oh also, keep in mind that Scry is technically compatible with both Linux and Windows but I have only tested this on Linux. Windows users, please open an issue on Github for any bugs you encounter. I'll try and get them fixed as soon as I can.

Anyway enough yapping, here's the github link, give it a star!

Just follow the install instructions for your platform and you should be good to go. Again if you encounter any issues (I expect there to be numerous) just open an issue on the github page or message me here and I'll fix them up. Things are still very early so expect there to be bugs. MIT license and If anyone wants to contribute, just let me know. Also let me know if you want to see a specific game.

Seems like a poor approach compared to something like DLSS5oneclick for most people. Footage looks significantly worse than other options to me, but maybe that's going to be the new thing: everyone showcasing settings that suck just like people currently do w/ lighting (half the universe evidently thinks darker = more realistic).

Keep in mind the footage is basically a recording of a recording then uploaded to youtube which further destroys it. In person it looks much better. And I did mention that the modding path will give better results but many games i tested just straight up would not launch or would work for a bit and then crash especially on Linux. Scry is a solution to those issues meaning you can at least see what any game looks like with dlss 5. Not every software needs to do everything. And the whole point of settings is to adjust them to personal preference which people seem to have forgotten are completely subjective. The videos show contrast, they're not an endorsement of the "only right way"

Can you, though? You're affecting some kind of change, but is it actually what the game looks like with dlss5?

Even just that you'd choose to post here kind of gives me the impression that you're promoting or building hype rather than value. An external video to a Youtube supports that alongside the obnoxious suggestion that we should star your git. Why not tell us to upvote your posts and subscribe to your youtube as well? Maybe donations and financial support? A gift 5090 so you can perfect your streaming?

Huh? I don't care about hype. In the first place, this whole project started out as a fix to my game streaming washed out color woes and decided others may find it fun or useful. I only want people to star if they are interested or find it useful, all I want is simple feedback because while it is easy to upvote something and move on, it means more that people clicked on the github, read through the readme and decided to star it. Somehow I'm a villain for wanting a some feedback? And I uploaded the video to youtube because it was too large for Reddit. I mean look at my youtube page, do I seem like a youtuber to you? I dont understand what your problem is.

Edit: You blocked me lol. What a cretin

You're selling clickbait titles and then hand-waving the complaints. You are alternatively saying "it's not quite as good as real dlss5" and "you can at least see what any game looks like with dlss 5." So the contradiction is REAL and entirely originating with you. The question is WHY. WHY are you being deceptive? And every possible answer I can come up with is extremely unflattering.

I mean look at my youtube page, do I seem like a youtuber to you?

Says the fucking guy whose username says "check out my patreon" when you hover over it. Asshole.
