dlss5-feeder

DLSS5-Feeder targets games that ship without any DLSS support. Because the DLSS 5 neural-rendering add-on only activates by hooking a game's own DLSS calls, such games leave it idle. This project manufactures those calls itself: it assembles a DLAA-style contract from data ReShade already exposes — the current frame, the depth buffer and estimated optical-flow motion vectors — performs a genuine DLSS evaluate, lets the neural add-on hook that evaluate, and writes the neural result back into the frame, all within ReShade's effect chain. Supported paths include 64-bit D3D11/D3D12, Vulkan and OpenGL directly, 32-bit games through a bundled 64-bit helper process, DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 (the latter via a wrapper such as dgVoodoo2), and 32-bit Vulkan through DXVK. The README lists working examples across Metro 2033 Redux, Subnautica, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, BioShock Remastered, Fable Anniversary, DOOM (2016), Worms Ultimate Mayhem, Guild Wars Reforged, World of Warcraft 3.3.5a, Star Wars: KOTOR and MX Bikes, with the DLSS 5 add-on reporting successful inline feature evaluation. Important caveats are documented. For 64-bit DirectX 9/11/12 games that do call DLSS natively, the separate renodx-dlss add-on may be sufficient on its own; the feeder remains relevant for 32-bit, Vulkan and D3D9 motion-vector cases. Exactly one neural add-on must be installed alongside it (Deep Fried Chicken recommended, or the RenoDX DLSS5 add-on), and stock OptiScaler must be disabled — only the OptiScaler_DLSSNR fork is supported. NVIDIA Smooth Motion must be turned off for Vulkan games, where it operates inside the driver after the feeder's work and cannot be reconciled; the README explains how to verify this with Debug Bars and Profile Inspector settings. Driver/runtime combinations can also matter, with a `--test` mode provided to check them. The project is beta software: estimated motion vectors can produce ghosting in fast motion and softness on thin moving geometry, and the HUD is processed along with the scene. Installation is offered through a PowerShell script, and the README warns about fake downloads and third-party repackaging, publishing SHA-256 hashes and VirusTotal links for releases.
