VR Auto-Optimizer 2.2.1

This maintenance release adds clearer, read-only visibility into MSFS display and NVIDIA DLSS settings, improves update discovery and performance-monitoring diagnostics, and makes post-flight Xbox cleanup safer for the next simulator launch.

What’s new

  • Added a manual Check Update control. It compares the installed version with the latest public GitHub release and only opens GitHub after user approval.
  • Added a read-only MSFS Display & NVIDIA DLSS Settings window showing saved desktop and VR rendering modes, NVIDIA App DLSS override model presets, and the loaded DLSS library version.
  • Improved MSFS FPS-source detection by checking loaded SimConnect libraries before switching to the safe PresentMon fallback.
  • Clarified dashboard status messages when CPU, MainThread, and memory monitoring remain active but FPS is unavailable.
  • Changed post-flight Xbox cleanup to close only Xbox and Game Bar interface processes. Gaming Services, authentication, game-save, and networking services are left available for the next MSFS launch.
  • Expanded automated tests for the update checker, display-settings parser, DLSS preset mapping, performance-monitor status, and Xbox cleanup safety.

Installation

  1. Download VR-Auto-Optimizer-2.2.1-win-x64.zip.
