d4r Windows quick test
======================

This private test package supports native Windows D3D12 on the GPU target in
its manifest. It needs the matching original NVIDIA _nvngx.dll and
nvngx_dlss.dll supplied by the tester. Those DLLs are not in d4r source or
public packages.

Run START-K.cmd, START-M.cmd, START-E.cmd, or START-L.cmd. The launcher checks
the package hashes, detects the real HIP target, and rejects a package/GPU
mismatch before changing the game folder. It backs up only files it replaces
in .d4r-backup. The run lasts up to 180 seconds by default; use the PowerShell
launcher with -RunSeconds to choose another bounded run.

Preset E uses NGX preset 5 and has no native Windows CNN kernels. K uses preset
11 and the native K transformer. L uses preset 12 and currently relies on the
M-family Swin layers plus translated texture kernels. M uses preset 13. E and L
are experimental Windows paths; a selected hint or successful DLL load is not
frame proof. Reports must show completed DLSS frames and output checks.

After the game exits, run RESTORE-GAME.cmd before using the game normally. The
restore checks installed-file hashes and restores only the entries recorded in
.d4r-backup. It preserves unrelated mods, shared loaders, game files and saves.
Keep the printed diagnostic ZIP for any failed or inconclusive run.

Do not enable async interop for first tests. Do not change drivers, TDR values,
Windows security policy or GPU tuning as part of this test.
