OptiScaler-MFG dev_8

OptiScaler-MFG dev_8

Pre-release. CI builds Windows x64 only; see Validation below for the author's GPU smoke test.

RTX 30 / 20 runtime correction

• RTX 20/30 MFG now uses the hash-pinned sdli1995/dlssg_for_sm86 0.3.5 version.dll as the primary game-side provider.
• The obsolete native dlssg_sm86.dll backend and its X5/X6 patch path were removed.
• OptiScaler no longer captures the game's nvngx_dlssg.dll load when the sdli1995 proxy is active.
• The release package places sdli1995 version.dll and dlssg_sm86.ini beside the game executable. Use OptiScaler.dll as winmm.dll, dxgi.dll, or another supported OptiScaler proxy name.

NVIDIA DLSS MFG unlock, native (RTX 40 / Ada)

• Blackwell (sm_120) kernels retargeted to Ada (sm_89), giving the game's own DLSS-G native multi-frame generation up to 6X.
• Transactional DLSSG 310.7/310.9 gates with rollback, temporal midpoint PTX correction, boundary artifact mitigation (modes 0/1/2, default balanced) and a silhouette guard.

RTX 30 / 20 (Ampere / Turing)

• sdli1995 0.3.5 is the primary RTX 20/30 runtime. The game-side plugin is capped safely when it only supports 4X.

Intel XeFG MFG

• Native 2X-6X unlock (five byte patches plus pacing per generated frame): [XeFG] UnlockMFG, MaxInterpolatedFrames, ExtraPacing.
• Menu options 2X-6X and the XeFG label.
• The game's DLSS-G is forced OFF when the output is XeFG/FSRFG, and swapchain recreation is fixed (RE Engine / Onimusha).

DLSS Neural Rendering (DLSS 5 / NR)

• Full migration to wilsjo's architecture: D3D12 multipass pre/post, native Vulkan, D3D11 bridge, finished-picture, GpuLifetime, CompatibilityRuntime, NgxDiagnostics and MenuModel.
• nvngx_dlssnr.dll runtime (ShortFuse RTX 20/30/40) bundled in the package by CI (release nr-runtime).
• Neural Rendering menu restored in the left column.

REFramework

• Native warning (toast plus menu header) when a RE Engine game lacks dinput8.dll; protected RE Engine titles need it to inject (tested on Onimusha: Way of the Sword).

Upstream ports

• Scaled-frame freeze detection with false frames (MFG pacing above 2X), typed DXGI exports without LOG_FUNC (Win11 crash), GpuTime _trigger timing, FSRFG fixes (swapchain/device), and older UE compatibility in FindFilePath.

Menu / unlocker

• Native DLSS MFG section shown only when FG Input and FG Output are None; FG selectors locked while the unlocker is active; correct save-and-restart prompt; Enable DLSS MFG Unlocker checkbox; noisy status messages removed.

Versioning

• Builds identify as OptiScaler-MFG dev_N (tag dev_8, asset OptiScaler-MFG_dev_8_<date>.7z).

Validation

• CI build: Windows x64. Author GPU smoke test: Onimusha: Way of the Sword (RE Engine) with REFramework - native RTX 40 MFG and XeFG OK, NR OK.
