DLSS Updater is a utility that automatically updates DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), XeSS (Intel Xe Super Sampling), and DirectStorage DLLs for games across multiple platforms. Note: This application requires administrative privileges to modify game files.

DLSS Updater

Version

dlss_updater

What if you could update all the DLSS/XeSS/FSR DLLs for the games detected on your system?

Features

Supports updating games from the following launchers:
- Steam
- Ubisoft
- EA Play
- Xbox Game Pass (PC)
- Epic Games Launcher
- GOG Galaxy
- Battle.net (Note for Battle.net: Please ensure that the launcher is open before updating this launcher (this does not apply if you are entering a custom folder))
A soft backup system for allowing restoration with DLSS Swapper.
Support for updating Ray Reconstruction/Frame Generation/Streamline (Reflex Low Latency etc) DLL's.
Support for updating XeSS/FSR/DirectStorage DLL's.
A GUI!
Support for manual folder locations.

The current supported DLL included is DLSS 4 (version 3.10.3). The current supported XESS DLL included is 2.0.1, please see the limitations here for game support.

GUI

Blacklisted Games

The list of games that are not supported (blacklisted) is now maintained in a separate repository as a CSV file. This allows for easier updates and potential future expansion of game-specific information without requiring changes to the main application. You can view the current list of blacklisted games here:

DLSS-Updater-Blacklist

The blacklist includes games that:

Use their own version of DLSS for testing (e.g., 3DMark)
Replace the DLL when the game is booted (e.g., Warframe)
Are using a DLSS version <2.0 (these are non-updatable)
Have specific compatibility issues with updated DLSS versions

The games that are blacklisted can be disabled manually by clicking the "Manage Blacklist" button in the GUI. This will allow you to skip games for whatever reason.

Restoring modified DLL's

In order to do this, simply rename the .dlsss file of the respective DLL which you wish to restore to .dll and overwrite the original file.
Support does not exist yet for being able to restore them using the program.

The tool will not globally block games as some games do allow for this, with that being said i will whitelist games as they appear if they do not function for this.

Ability to restore and ~~create backups of DLL swaps~~. - This is currently being worked on, however support has been added for restoring with DLSS Swapper currently.
