🔧 Fixes & Improvements

• Dedicated Interactive Uninstaller & Clean Directory Purge:
  • Added dedicated UninstallApp UI with confirmation screen, live progress bar, and completion screen.
  • Implemented temp trampoline worker pattern: launches %TEMP%\dlss_studio_uninstall.exe and terminates the launcher so the entire installation directory can be completely purged without Windows file-locking conflicts.
  • Checkbox: "Also remove downloaded models, cache, and preferences (%APPDATA%\dlss-5-studio)" (checked by default; leaves original game backups inside game folders untouched).
  • Routed setup and uninstaller WebView2 data directories to %TEMP%, completely preventing .WebView2 folders from cluttering the installation folder.
• ReShade Framework Suite & Feeder Verification (DrawText.fxh):
  • Bundled DrawText.fxh, FontAtlas.png, and the slim ReShade framework headers suite into feeder-shaders\.
  • Ensures upstream verification script (Verify-DLSS5Feeder.ps1) passes with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
• Non-Game Executable & Helper Filtering:
  • Expanded is_installer_or_helper to automatically filter configuration utilities, settings tools, registration, support, and setup binaries (*config.exe, *settings.exe, *setup.exe, *activation*.exe, *autorun*.exe, *registration*.exe, *support*.exe) from game directories and executable selection dropdowns (e.g. MassEffect2Config.exe).
• DirectX 9 vs DirectX 10 Detection & Unreal Engine 3 Marker Priority:
  • Resolved false positive DirectX 10 / DirectX 11 detection on legacy Unreal Engine 3 games (such as Mass Effect 2 ME2Game.exe): prioritized active d3d9.dll and Direct3DCreate9 / Direct3DCreate9Ex imports over dormant Direct3D 10 engine headers.
• Relic Modular Rendering Engine Recognition:
  • Added support for modular sibling graphics libraries in Relic engine games (such as Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Definitive Edition and Company of Heroes) recognizing spDx9.dll, GraphicsDx9.dll, etc. while preventing auxiliary DXGI video player helpers from misleading 3D API detection.
• True "Undetected" Fallback Labeling:
  • Replaced ambiguous "DirectX 11" fallback labeling with "Undetected" for executables lacking any 3D graphics imports, PE markers, or graphics sibling modules (such as launcher stubs and bootstrap wrappers like MassEffect2.exe).
• Candidate Scoring & Primary Game Executable Selection:
  • Upgraded heuristic executable scoring to heavily prioritize real game binaries with verified 3D graphics imports (+5,000 pts) and substantial PE code size (+4,000 pts for files > 5 MB), while penalizing stubs (< 1 MB without graphics calls) by -5,000 pts.

  • Added real-time visual warning banners in the setup wizard when protected system directories (Program Files) are manually selected.
• Documentation & Upstream Attribution:
  • Updated OptiScaler attribution in README.md to credit wilsjo2/OptiScaler-DLSSNR-PreSR-Multipass for the Pre-SR Multipass and DLSS-NR runtime implementation.
