-d4r for Windows: NVIDIA DLSS on AMD Radeon RDNA3 and RDNA4
-===========================================================
-
-d4r runs NVIDIA's own DLSS (DLSS 4 by default) on a Radeon GPU in DirectX 12 games. OptiScaler
-(included) catches the game's upscaler calls and hands them to d4r.
-
-This is an early release. Only the Radeon RX 9070 XT has been tested on real hardware; every other
-GPU in this release is compile-tested. SUPPORTED_GAMES.md in the source repository lists the
-tested games. Expect problems.
-
-What you need
--------------
-- Windows 11, a Radeon RX 7000 or RX 9000 series GPU, a current AMD Adrenalin driver.
-- A DirectX 12 game without anti-cheat (OptiScaler injects a DLL; it can get an account banned).
-- Two files from NVIDIA, which this ZIP does not include:
-    nvngx_dlss.dll  version 310.9.1 (tested) or 310.7.0. Many games ship one in their folder;
-                    right-click > Properties > Details shows the version.
-    _nvngx.dll      version 32.0.16.1714 (tested) or 32.0.15.9636. It is part of an NVIDIA display
-                    driver package: extract the installer with 7-Zip and search for _nvngx.dll.
-
-Install
--------
-1. Extract this ZIP into the folder that holds the game's main .exe. For Unreal Engine games that
-   is <game>\<Project>\Binaries\Win64, next to <Project>-Win64-Shipping.exe.
-   If the folder already has a dxgi.dll or OptiScaler.ini (another OptiScaler install), or a
-   d3d12.dll from a Linux install, move those out first.
-2. Copy nvngx_dlss.dll into the d4r folder and _nvngx.dll into d4r\ngx.
-3. Optional: check the install. In the game folder, open PowerShell and run
-       powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File d4r\d4r-check.ps1
-4. Start the game from Steam, Epic or a shortcut as usual. In its graphics settings choose DLSS
-   (or FSR 3.1/XeSS if DLSS is hidden; OptiScaler then feeds DLSS). Keep frame generation off.
-   Press Insert in game for OptiScaler's menu.
-
-The first time DLSS starts, the game can freeze for several minutes while DLSS's GPU kernels are
-compiled. They are cached in %LOCALAPPDATA%\d4r\cache, so later starts are quick.
-
-Settings
---------
-Edit d4r\d4r.ini (it is commented) and restart the game. Each game has its own copy.
-- Model: K (DLSS 4, default) or M (DLSS 4.5, heavier). Select the quality mode in the game.
-- AsyncInterop, ValidateOutput, Log: for testing and bug reports; the defaults are the tested setting.
-OptiScaler's own settings (overlay, render ratios) are in OptiScaler.ini.
-
-If something goes wrong
------------------------
-- Run d4r\d4r-check.ps1: it prints ok / MISSING / note lines with the fix for each problem.
-- d4r\d4r_nvngx.log is rewritten at every launch. A line "d4r: DLSS disabled: ..." says why.
-- DLSS missing in the menu and no d4r_nvngx.log: the files are not next to the game's main .exe.
-- For a bug report run  d4r\d4r-check.ps1 -Report  and send the ZIP it puts on your Desktop,
-  with your GPU, the game, the model and what the image looked like. Logs can contain folder names.
-- Not supported: frame generation, ray reconstruction, DirectX 11, Vulkan, models E and L.
-
-Uninstall
----------
-Delete dxgi.dll, OptiScaler.ini, OptiScaler.log (if present), WINDOWS_README.txt and the d4r folder
-from the game folder. The cache in %LOCALAPPDATA%\d4r can be deleted too. Nothing else was changed.
