How to enable DLSS?
Hello, I am trying to enable DLSS in Hitman 3. I have a Nvidia GPU and the latest drivers installed. Other info:
OS: Fedora 37
Wine: Wine-GE-Proton7-39
When I go in game the option for DLSS is grayed out. Any help would be appreciated.

The short answer is that it’s annoying to get any Nvidia stuff working outside of Steam. You need to manually apply DXVK-NVAPI https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi

Specifically look at the Wine section

@termdisc where to add this values?
vicious-gold•3y ago
environment variables. you can collapse them into one line
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="nvapi,nvapi64,dxgi=n"
vicious-gold•3y ago
vicious-gold•3y ago
you probably don't need the dxgi one
extended-salmon•3y ago
this will work for VKD3D, right?
vicious-gold•3y ago
the documentation says so
but I cannot confirm right now. I no longer have an Nvidia GPU
extended-salmon•3y ago
and the game doesn't boot
vicious-gold•3y ago
you have two conflicting winedlloverrides
dxgi is probably included with dxvk/vkd3d
extended-salmon•3y ago
alr
gonna delete that and see what happens
vicious-gold•3y ago
honestly, this was such a hassle for me to get going that I just ended up using DLSS2FSR2 instead
extended-salmon•3y ago
yeah, i'm thinking to that too
vicious-gold•3y ago
extended-salmon•3y ago
that's so annoying, in lutris all is automated, but for some reason the game i'm trying to run doesn't work in lutris
had to use heroic
vicious-gold•3y ago
it's such a house of cards that if you aren't playing a game on Steam where Proton already has DXVK-NVAPI baked in, just do the FSR thing
at least until Heroic provides NVAPI for us
extended-salmon•3y ago
for cyberpunk 2077 (?)
what
vicious-gold•3y ago
it can be used for whatever game you want
extended-salmon•3y ago
alr
vicious-gold•3y ago
you just put the various files in the game folder next to the existing nvngx_dlss.dll and use Winetricks to run regedit to import the .reg file
extended-salmon•3y ago
this goes in the game folder, right?
vicious-gold•3y ago
wherever
nvngx_dlss.dll is locatedextended-salmon•3y ago
what about the .ini?
vicious-gold•3y ago
all of it
copy all files
extended-salmon•3y ago
ok
vicious-gold•3y ago
extended-salmon•3y ago
wait
extended-salmon•3y ago
like this, right?
vicious-gold•3y ago
yes
extended-salmon•3y ago
alr
vicious-gold•3y ago
then run regedit via winetricks to import the enable reg file
extended-salmon•3y ago
if, winetricks loads then yes lol
extended-salmon•3y ago
stuck here
vicious-gold•3y ago
close that box and reopen it
have you run your game at all yet?
extended-salmon•3y ago
yes
it works
not winetricks lol
i just rebooted the PC
if i click the "X" nothing happens
@termdisc i'm gonna install the reg via lutris lol
bruh
now wine tricks works
vicious-gold•3y ago
you'd have to mess with that to be able to have it applied to your game prefix in Heroic otherwise it wouldn't go anywhere
extended-salmon•3y ago
ok, i started the game
i still only see FSR
vicious-gold•3y ago
what game are you playing?
extended-salmon•3y ago
TLOU
vicious-gold•3y ago
TLOU already has FSR2 built in
extended-salmon•3y ago
wait
vicious-gold•3y ago
also, brave choice getting that on EGS
extended-salmon•3y ago
i thought it'll enable DLSS
vicious-gold•3y ago
DLSS2FSR doesn't enable DLSS, it redirects DLSS to do FSR2 stuff
extended-salmon•3y ago
EGS?
vicious-gold•3y ago
Epic Games Store
extended-salmon•3y ago
OHHHHHHHHHH
thank you
i had some discounts/coupons that's why
vicious-gold•3y ago
I can't imagine the performance issues are going to be worth the savings
it already struggles with precompiled shaders
extended-salmon•3y ago
i have an i5 7600K oc to 5ghz RTX 2060 16GB RAM
the game is compiling shaders, see you next week
i set that with the newer update the fixed a lot of issues
vicious-gold•3y ago
I have an AMD 5600x with a 7900XT GPU. I still get frame spikes frequently on the Steam version
extended-salmon•3y ago
what's this?
vicious-gold•3y ago
I don't use that
extended-salmon•3y ago
ok
well
this game is bad, bad, bad, bad optimized
i must to play it with min graphics with something on med or high
notable-maroon•3y ago
Just try with proton. If it works with proton you have your dlss
extended-salmon•3y ago
i'm using proton experimental
only FSR is available
this is atrocious
vicious-gold•3y ago
on my desktop, TLOU actually uses proton-hotfix
and mangohud reports a version that specifically has tlou in the name
extended-salmon•3y ago
what's proton hotfix?
vicious-gold•3y ago
it's where Valve pushes hotfixes targeting specific games
extended-salmon•3y ago
what's matters now?
i actually want to enable DLSS
what if i make a shortcut of the game to steam?
vicious-gold•3y ago
you'd still be running a non-Steam game outside of Steam, which might work with Proton, might not
extended-salmon•3y ago
hm
vicious-gold•3y ago
you probably also need all this:
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxrextended-salmon•3y ago
for some reason the game doesn't run on lutris
i'll try later
vicious-gold•3y ago
keep in mind this:
vicious-gold•3y ago
dxr11 doesn't seem to give DLSSvicious-gold•3y ago
vicious-gold•3y ago
and all this comes back around to this
extended-salmon•3y ago
well then i'm gonna refund
the game is horribly optimized
vicious-gold•3y ago
I haven't tried it on my desktop in a few days, but I know a big update just got pushed
extended-salmon•3y ago
i see people having the exact same performance issues, even on windows
vicious-gold•3y ago
and probably another proton hotfix version
extended-salmon•3y ago
7 april
1.0.2.0
and i have a 2060
not a 1050Ti lol
and i noticed a lot of "noise" in the game
even with the option to reduce noise and the max settings
vicious-gold•3y ago
that could just be the cordyceps hah
extended-salmon•3y ago
idk
@termdisc how's the game running with you?
performance, temperatures, etc...
i refunded the game
i'll wait few months and then buy it on steam
vicious-gold•3y ago
I get good framerates with FSR2, but frame stability can sometimes be an issue. no temps exceed 60°
extended-salmon•3y ago
i was playing normally when for some reason the GPU went from 98% to 60%
and the game started lagging a lot
