DLSS 5 Patcher v1.0.0 - One Click Patch DLSS 5

First release of DLSS 5 Patcher, install DLSS 5 Neural Rendering + ReShade into games automatically, no manual setup needed.

Key Features

🔍 Auto Game Detection (Multi-Drive & Multi-Platform)

• Scans all active drives (C–Z).
• Steam libraryfolders.vdf, Epic Games Launcher manifests, Ubisoft Connect, GOG Galaxy, EA App/Origin, Xbox Games, and Windows Registry.
• Games appear live in the list the moment they are found (real-time events, no lag).

🎯 Smart Executable Selection

• Finds Unreal shipping binaries (Binaries/Win64/*-Win64-Shipping.exe) and _retail_ folders.
• Smart fallback: picks the root executable that is largest and imports a rendering API (D3D12/DXGI/D3D11/Vulkan), not launcher/handler/setup stubs.

🧠 Smart Install Modes

• Direct (native-DLSS) for games with their own DLSS runtime, no feeder, preserves the game's NGX session.
• Federated (feed + renodx) for D3D11/D3D12 games without DLSS, the feed runs a private D3D12 device + DLAA pass so neural rendering truly works.

🎨 ReShade 6.8.0 + Add-ons

• Automatic ReShade install (headless CLI + fallback extracting ReShade64.dll).
• Writes ReShade.ini: recursive shader search paths, TutorialProgress=4.
• Writes ReShadePreset.ini: iMMERSE: Launchpad + DLSS 5 Feed, pre-ordered.
• Neural upscaling disabled by default (NREnableUpscaling=0).

🧹 Deep Uninstall (Clean & Restore)

• Scans all subfolders (Binaries/Win64, _retail_, Plugins, Engine/...).
• Removes all ReShade/DLSS/add-on files, restores originals from .dlss5_backup.
• Files owned by the game itself are never deleted.

⚡ Advanced UX

• End Task & Try Again: button to force-kill a still-running game process, then auto-retries patch/uninstall.
• Patch → Launch: game stays selected and is one click from launching after patching.
• Accurate status reporting: DLSS 5 add-on, DLSS version, ReShade, and Streamline/DLSS DLL list.

Notes

• The ReShade installer (~4 MB) is downloaded automatically if missing from ReShade/, or set its URL in ReShadeConfig.json.
• Operation logs are stored in patcher.log.
