Deep Live Cam Studio 2.2.2 Windows Release

This maintenance release makes NVIDIA updates behave like a conventional app
upgrade, clarifies the DirectML portable update path, and ships the reviewed
Windows dependency patches merged since 2.2.1.

Use the CUDA installer for NVIDIA GPUs. Use the DirectML ZIP for AMD or Intel
DirectX 12 GPUs: extract it into a new folder and run
DeepLiveCamStudio.exe. Do not copy one runtime over another.

To update an NVIDIA installation, close Deep Live Cam Studio and run the new
setup EXE. It migrates earlier version-named installations into one stable
per-user directory while preserving downloaded models, settings, and logs.
DirectML remains portable: extract each update into a new folder and delete the
old extracted folder after verifying the new copy.

What Changed

Changed

  • Standardized NVIDIA installs on
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\DeepLiveCamStudio instead of a version-named
    directory.
  • Updated pip, wheel, PyInstaller, pip-tools, and Ruff in the deterministic
    Windows build and test toolchain.
  • Documented the separate NVIDIA installer and DirectML portable update paths.

Fixed

  • The NVIDIA installer now removes the registered legacy installation and
    recognizable orphaned version folders before completing the stable upgrade.
  • Installer tests now use an isolated app identity and validate a complete
    2.2.1-layout to 2.2.2 migration without disturbing real installations.
  • Replaced the unavailable ONNX Runtime GPU 1.24.3 wheel with 1.24.4 and
    refreshed locks and licence evidence.

The unchanged DirectML application path was previously validated on Windows 11
with a Radeon RX 9060 XT: the DirectML badge was active and Preview,
short-video Render, and OBS Live Output all passed with no blocking regression.
The packaged release runtimes are separately checked for their expected GPU
providers; CUDA rendering and Live Output were also verified locally on an
NVIDIA RTX 4070.

Source and license

Deep-Live-Cam is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Complete corresponding source for the
exact binary release is attached and identified by the source ref above.

The source archive is produced with:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File build\windows\package_source.ps1 -AppVersion 2.2.2 -GitRef 20e82f4b83790f73f24b7d8b753ca53015ce775e

This release preserves attribution to the original project:

Models are not bundled

The installer intentionally does not include model/checkpoint files. The
DirectML portable ZIP also excludes them because model licenses and
redistribution rights are separate from the application license.

After launching, select Set Up Models, or run:

DeepLiveCamStudioCLI.exe --download-models

Downloaded models are stored under:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\DeepLiveCamStudio\models

Requirements and known limitations

  • ffmpeg and ffprobe must be installed separately for video workflows.
  • OBS Studio must be installed separately for OBS Virtual Camera workflows.
  • The public files are unsigned and may trigger Microsoft Defender
    SmartScreen.
  • Face-swap and enhancer model families retain their documented
    non-commercial or research-use restrictions; no model weights are
    redistributed here.

Release evidence

This release candidate is not publish-approved by release notes alone;
publish approval is recorded in RELEASE_VERIFICATION.md,
MANUAL_RELEASE_GATES.md, and the signed gate documents included with the
upload.

Completed local evidence is included in the uploaded release documents:

  • Full automated test suite.
  • Packaged CUDA and DirectML runtime/provider checks.
  • Clean-install, legacy-upgrade, registry, shortcut, and uninstall checks.
  • Model download/checksum and forbidden-model scans.
  • CUDA and DirectML file-render checks.
  • Radeon RX 9060 XT DirectML and NVIDIA RTX 4070 CUDA Live Output checks.

Remaining publish blockers:

  • None when RELEASE_VERIFICATION.md says Ready to publish without remaining manual gates: YES.

Completed manual signoffs include:

  • Clean Windows install without admin rights.
  • OBS Virtual Camera and DirectML Live Output workflows.
  • Authorized legal review for dependency, model-license, and redistribution obligations.
