🚀 Highlights & Improvements

• Big Picture Mode (10-Foot Television & Gamepad Interface):
  • Authentic console experience with native XInput gamepad navigation, dynamic hero backdrop vignetting, full-screen game showcase, and quick store filtering.
  • Interactive profile options: One-click "Apply & Play" and instant "Play", Neural Rendering Style presets, OptiScaler Pre-SR multi-pass tuning, and 4x Multi-Frame Generation toggling.
  • Safe exit confirmation modal requiring explicit confirmation before returning to the desktop view.
• Pure Rust D3D12 Mip Companion Add-on (dlss-mip-fix.addon64):
  • Rebuilt the D3D12 Mip Companion Add-on in 100% pure Rust (crates/addons/dlss-mip-addon/), replacing legacy C++ binaries.
  • Dynamically inspects and tunes texture descriptor mip biases and resource filters at runtime to eliminate mip degradation and blur during DLSS upscaling across multi-engine titles.
• Dynamic Startup Downloader Internationalization:
  • Full reactive stage tracking (Checking, Connecting, Downloading, Verifying, Retrying) localized across all 14 supported languages with live byte and total MB formatting.
• Robust Uninstaller Trampoline Isolation:
  • Completely isolated uninstaller execution using unique per-process temporary binaries (dlss_studio_uninstall_{pid}_{timestamp}.exe) to prevent file locks during self-replacement, paired with automatic scheduled cleanup on exit.
• Vibepollo / Apollo Streaming Integration:
  • Automatically detects Sunshine / Apollo / Vibepollo host installations on Windows.
  • Gated settings toggle in desktop settings: cleanly adds or removes DLSS Studio Big Picture mode (--big-picture) in apps.json with elevation handling and app art.

📜 Previous Releases

DLSS 5 Studio v1.0.8 — Feeder Route MFG Detection & DirectX 11 Advisory Release

• Feeder Route Multi-Frame Generation Detection (Issue #7):
  • Resolved a contradiction where games utilizing the DLSS 5 Feeder route showed "Unsupported (requires native DLSS-G)" in the specifications panel despite having MFG active via the Feeder path.
  • The game detail panel now specifically inspects for active Feeder route deployments rather than checking solely for native DLSS-G.
• DirectX 11 Route Incompatibility Advisory & Anti-Suppression:
  • When inspecting pure DirectX 11 games (such as A Plague Tale: Innocence), the UI now presents an explicit High Incompatibility Advisory banner explaining that Multi-Frame Generation and certain OptiScaler paths require DirectX 12 presentation pipelines and motion vectors.
  • Added an anti-suppression architecture ensuring prior feeder manifests or proxy hooks cannot suppress compatibility warnings or falsely declare DX12-exclusive features supported.
  • Includes a "Deploy with Force Override" button (btn_deploy_override) with dedicated warning styles and complete localization across all 13 supported languages.
• 5-Manifest Backup Retention Engine (prune_old_manifests):
  • Implemented an automatic journal pruning engine retaining the top 5 most recent manifest.json.done-* backup records.
  • Automatically cleans orphaned originals/{timestamp} backup directories no longer referenced by active or retained manifests, keeping backup storage lean and organized.

DLSS 5 Studio v1.0.7 — Window Drag Event Fix & Squircle Accordion Release

• Window Drag Event Fix Across All Screens: Bounded window dragging strictly to designated header surfaces (.toolbar, .brand, and empty sidebar spacer).
• Theme-Harmonious Accordion Trigger: 20×20px rounded squircle with razor-sharp SVG chevron matching feature checkboxes.
• High-Contrast Light Theme Styling: Eliminated glow washes with high-contrast rust and badge colors.
• Toast Feedback 2-Second Auto-Dismiss Timer: 2000ms dismiss timer with debounced multi-click reset.
• Complete Multilingual Translation: Localized strings across all 13 supported languages.

DLSS 5 Studio v1.0.6 — Route Advisory Engine & Deployment Reflection Release

• Route Advisory & Force Override Engine: Interactive advisory model with high incompatibility warnings and force override deployment.
• Automatic Deployment State Reflection: Restores UI controls from disk inspection.
• Intelligent Optimal Path Auto-Selection: Automatic optimal route selection for vanilla games.
• Dynamic Executable Switching: Route updates dynamically on executable switch for unpatched titles.

DLSS 5 Studio v1.0.5 — Graphics API Detection & Non-Game Filtering Release

• Dedicated Interactive Uninstaller & Clean Directory Purge: Dedicated uninstaller UI with temp trampoline worker pattern.
• ReShade Framework Suite & Feeder Verification: Bundled DrawText.fxh and FontAtlas.png.
• Non-Game Executable Filtering: Automatic filtering of *config.exe, *settings.exe, *setup.exe, etc.
• DirectX 9 vs DirectX 10 UE3 Detection: Fixed false positive detection on legacy Unreal Engine 3 games.
• Relic Modular Rendering Recognition: Supported modular render libraries (spDx9.dll, etc.).
• True "Undetected" Fallback Labeling: Replaced ambiguous DX11 fallbacks for bootstrap stubs.

• Automatic Artwork Resolution for Manually Added Games & Folders: Smart title inference for nested folders and boundary splitting for fused titles.
• Installer Upgrade & Process Handling: Registry check, in-place update mode, and graceful process shutdown.
• Runtime Component Updates: OptiScaler DLSS-NR v0.8.4, DLSS 5 Feeder v1.16.0-beta.3, MFGAdaUnlock-RenoDx 1.0.
• Legacy Pre-DirectX 10 (DirectX 8 & 9) dgVoodoo 2 Interop: Automated dgVoodoo 2 translation, 32-bit Large Address Aware (LAA) inspection and toggling.

DLSS 5 Studio v1.0.1 — Hotfix Release

Hotfix release restoring Neural Rendering on the DLSS 5 Feeder route and improving out-of-the-box installation defaults.

• DLSS 5 Feeder Neural Rendering:
  • Restored NeuralUplift=1 in ReShade.ini during Feeder route deployments.
  • Resolves an issue where Neural Reconstruction (Feature 18) was initialized in a disabled state at launch, enabling seamless DLSS-NR execution across non-DX12 titles (such as DirectX 11 executables like bg3_dx11.exe).
• Setup & Installation Defaults:
  • Defaulted install directory to C:\DLSS 5 Studio and data directory to C:\DLSS 5 Studio\data for smooth, permission-friendly installs on standard user accounts without requiring elevation prompts.
  • 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.
