Overview

DLSS Updater scans the games installed on your system, detects the upscaling and frame-generation DLLs they ship with, and replaces them with newer versions — with automatic backups so you can always roll back. It runs on Windows and Linux and understands games from every major launcher.

DLSS Super Resolution, plus Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation and Streamline (Reflex Low Latency, DirectSR, NIS, etc.)
XeSS / XeSS Frame Generation / XeLL

DirectStorage (Windows only)
Update everything at once, or update individual binaries for a specific game

</details> <details> <summary><h3>🎛️ DLSS Presets & Proton Upscalers</h3></summary>

Global presets (Windows, experimental) — the DLSS Settings card on the home page applies preset overrides to every game via the NVIDIA driver base profile (the same mechanism as the NVIDIA App's global override). Shows the currently applied preset; takes effect at the next game launch.
- Super Resolution (SR): Default / Latest / Preset J / K / L / M
- Ray Reconstruction (RR): Default / Latest model
- Frame Generation (FG): Default / Latest / Preset A / B
- ⚠️ Per-game overrides set in the NVIDIA App take priority — set its DLSS override to Default/Off to let this global setting apply.
Per-game presets (Windows, NVIDIA only) — the DLSS Settings action on any game (right-click a card, or its ⋮ menu) opens a per-game panel that overrides SR / RR / FG for just that title via its NVIDIA per-application driver profile — the same mechanism the NVIDIA App uses for per-game overrides. It takes priority over the global setting for that game and applies at the next launch. The action is hidden automatically on non-NVIDIA systems.
- The game's executable is detected automatically (NVIDIA driver lookup → folder heuristic → Steam manifest); when it can't be determined, a Change executable file picker lets you point at the correct .exe. Your executable and preset choices are remembered between sessions.
- The panel reads back the value the driver is actually applying and distinguishes NVIDIA's predefined value from your own override. Reset to default clears the override (reverting to the game's predefined value) in one click.
Proton Upscalers (Linux only) — the Proton Upscalers panel generates per-title Steam launch options (copy-to-clipboard; the same variables work in Heroic/Lutris environment settings):
- DLSS (NVIDIA) — SR presets (Latest / J / K / L / M) and RR presets (Latest) plus a Frame Generation override via DXVK-NVAPI, matching the Windows per-game dialog. Works on any Proton, including Valve's.
- DLL upgrades (GE-Proton / Proton-CachyOS / Proton-EM) — one-toggle PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE, PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE (RDNA3/RDNA4 aware) and PROTON_XESS_UPGRADE launch options with optional on-screen indicators. The panel reads each game's Proton build from Steam's compat-tool mapping and disables toggles that build doesn't support.
- GPU vendor is auto-detected (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel) to show the relevant sections, with RDNA3 mode recommended automatically on RX 7000 GPUs.

</details> <details> <summary><h3>🖼️ Game Images & Custom Display</h3></summary>

Steam Web API integration (optional) — connect your free Steam API key for near-perfect game image matching.
- Auto-detects your Steam ID from the local installation
- Four-tier app ID resolution: Manifest → Steam API → Store Search → FTS5 fuzzy match
- One-click re-resolution to fix images from previous scans
Custom display — override any game's banner image and display name via the pencil icon on its card.
- Search the local Steam app list to find any game (no API key required; credentials improve results)
- Overrides are stored separately from scanner data, so a rescan can't revert them
- Reset to default at any time

Built-in backup system that snapshots game binaries before modifying them
Restore any modified DLL from the Backups view
Build your own per-game blacklist to skip titles for any reason
