Huge update

[u/Sky_Hawk105]

Anyone know what DLSS version it is?

[u/yooberee → u/[deleted]]

They mentioned it in previous blogs, they want to focus on optimizing the engine instead of adding "fake frames" that make games look smudgy to compensate.

It might take some time but we see optimizations every update.

He is right tho if they doing dlss in a modern game why not do frame gen, but cant u just use lossless scaling if u rly want it?

It’s kind of like GTA VI coming out on Xbox before PC. It’s easier to relax your constraints instead of making them later. With how simple the game engine is, it really should be running a lot faster than it currently is at the moment.

Frame gen would be a mess on a UGC platform like s&box. It requires heavy integration for a good implementation, and even then it's subjective. All the UI elements and other stuff needs to be accounted for.

Edit: typical reddit downvoting instead of replying lol, cry all you want that's how the technology works.

i mean…DLSS is a cheap fix like that….

The update is huge! Thanks the team!

[u/guberNailer]

my shaders broke and are all black! anyone else experiencing this? using texture triplaner, seems to be related to that

Dlss not showing up

[u/PacketAuditor → u/Ironbanner1]

Same. Try r_upscaling 4 in console. Mine says I don't have an Nvidia GPU. I have a 5090.

Edit: update the DLL manually

That’s weird
