Installation Instruction

(Note: This DLSS5 is not an official Nvidia version; it was created by modders. It is being improved over time, so there may be image instability and a significant drop in performance. For reference, an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB can run at 57~62 fps with this configuration/max game settings - Antialising SMAA - 1080p).

1 - First, download the DLSS5 Swapper program. Run the installer and the program as an administrator to avoid issues. Link: https://github.com/rakanki911/DLSS5-Swapper/releases/tag/v2. 2. 1 (Download DLSS5-Swapper-Setup-2. 2. 1.exe).

2 - In the DLSS 5 swapper, select the game folder (bin), as shown in the image below.

3 - Click to install DLSS5 in the game.

4 - After that, download ReShade. Link: https://reshade.me/

5 - Run the ReShade setup, selecting the Watch_Dogs.exe located in the "bin" folder. Select "Update Reshade and Effects". When prompted, select all optional effects (this is mandatory for the preset to work correctly). Select "uncheck all" and then "check all" to select everything at once. Uncheck these two effects as shown in the images:

6 - After installing ReShade, download my preset based on your monitor's resolution (1080p or 2K/4K). Copy the extracted .ini file to the "bin" folder where Watch_Dogs.exe is located. Launch the game and wait for ReShade to load correctly. If any effects appear in red (error) in ReShade after installation, this is normal and will not affect my ReShade or your game, as they are not used. Press Home (default ReShade menu key). In the drop-down menu, select the downloaded preset:

7 - After applying it, go to the "Renodx" tab and adjust the settings as follows:

For Default Game

For The Fall of Windy City II

8 - Enjoy ! It is compatible with any mod that doesn't use ReShade.

If you want to enable and disable ReShade effects, you can configure a key on your keyboard. Navigate to the Settings tab in the ReShade overlay, look for the option labeled 'Toggle Effects' or 'Effect Toggle Key', and choose a key that will enable or disable ReShade instantly.

If you want to use only DLSS 5 without ReShade, select "ReShadePreset.ini".
