FG-Settings

Known Issues

[Foliage and trees flicker/disappear](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/issues/38) if spoofing a non Nvidia GPU with dxgi=true
DLSS not showing: [Goghor’s Mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonzerodawn/mods/133) is needed to unlock DLSS. Only the winmm.dll file is needed.

Notes

Generally tested With AMD Adrenaline in default mode.
FakeNVapi isn’t needed. The game may or may not support reflex.

Directions

Extract Optiscaler v0.7.0 pre to a temp folder
Git has a version that works for Horizon Zero Dawn https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/releases/tag/v0.7.0-pre66
Discord has Latest FrameGen Build https://discord.com/channels/995299945492008990/1230956629286191185/1230956629286191185
Add Goghor’s HZD DLSS Unlocker winmm.dll mod file https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonzerodawn/mods/133?tab=files Set dxgi=false in nvgxi.ini
Add FakeNvapi v1.2 files https://github.com/FakeMichau/fakenvapi/releases Set OverrideNvapiDll=true in nvgxi.ini
rename optiscaler dll to dxgi.dll
Copy nvngx_dlss.dll from the game (sometimes hidden in a sub directory) to nvngx.dll and place the new copy beside the games executable and Optiscaler that was just renamed. This is sometimes hidden in win64 or a bin directory.

Best to Turn off any screen overlays like AMD Adrenaline, ?Nvidia, MSI Afterburner, Steam, or Epic
[Better to avoid RTSS with Opti FG](https://discord.com/channels/995299945492008990/1230956629286191185/1330143708649226261)
AMD Adrenaline Software Overlay and Metrics Overlay worked, but Optiscaler has an Overlay Monitor in 0.7.7-pre2. HZD FG works even with optiscaler v0.7.0-pre1 https://discord.com/channels/995299945492008990/1230956629286191185/1329932476508012618 **
