Pre-releaseOptiScaler-FFXIV is updated to 2026.10.23, its first official release (tag ffxiv-2026.10.23-d9b62110, still built on upstream OptiScaler d9b62110). It targets the game build of the 2026-10-20 patch; on any other build its FFXIV-specific features switch themselves off until the fork is updated.
New in the fork: a Neural Rendering model version picker ([DlssNr] Runtime, one OptiScaler\NR. folder per version), a DLSS-G render preset picker ([DLSSG] RenderPreset: Auto, A, B or C) and an experimental source-level jitter fix that is off by default. Do not combine HUD-less recomposition with preset A or C: NVIDIA turns its UI recomposition off with them.
An update adds ten new settings to an existing OptiScaler.ini and leaves every value you have as it is. Nine are pickers left on Auto, aliases of settings you already have, and debug or experimental switches that stay off. The tenth, [NgxRelease] SkipReleaseSleep, is on by default in FFXIV: a quality change skips its 500 ms pause once the old upscaler is proven idle. Set it to false for the old behaviour. New installs and Reset get the 2026.10.21 settings plus those ten.
OptiScaler-FFXIV 2026.10.23 was played in game by its maintainer on one RTX 4090 in SDR; RTX 50 stays community-verified. Streamline, the 310.9.16 runtimes, ReShade, the Ember looks and the tiers are 2026.10.21 unchanged.
