Disable DLSS Sharpening and Enable DLSS Auto Exposure

🎮 **Welcome to this "Red Dead Redemption 2" DLSS optimization tool! ** It solves the picture problems caused by DLSS forced sharpening, taking your gaming experience to the next level.

✨ Module function

• **Disable DLSS sharpening**: Say goodbye to the "frizzy" picture and annoying flicker when moving the camera caused by forced sharpening.
• **Enable DLSS auto-exposure**: Ensure a more natural exposure of the game screen (you can also choose a disabled version to solve specific flickering issues).
• **Wide compatibility**: Supports DX12 and Vulkan API, compatible with the DLSS 2.2.10 DLL and 2.3.x/2.4.x versions that come with the game.

🛠️ How to use

Due to game DRM restrictions, game files cannot be modified directly. Therefore, you need to run this lightweight tool every time you launch the game. Don't worry, it's very easy!

• **Download Tool**: Download `RDR2_RuntimeDLSSPatcher.exe` (no need to put it in the game directory).
• **Start the game**: Start "Red Dead Redemption 2" normally, wait for the Rockstar launcher to complete loading and enter the game.
• **Run the patch**: When the game starts playing the opening animation or you enter the main menu, **double-click to run the tool**!
• **Success Tip**: After the tool is successfully run, there will be **no confirmation pop-up** (saving you a click). Do not run it repeatedly or you will receive a "Sequence not found" error.

💡 Usage tips and precautions

• **If you are already in the game**: If you forget and run the tool while in the game, you need to press `Alt+Enter` to switch to full-screen/window mode to force the game to re-initialize the DLSS pipeline and apply the patch.
• **Administrator Access**: Tools may require administrator access. You can check "Run this program as an administrator" in File Properties → Compatibility to avoid right-clicking every time.
• **Online Mode**: It is recommended **not** to use this tool in Red Dead Online.
• **Automation Script**: You can create a batch file that delays automatically running the patch tool after launching the game.
• **Coping with blur**: If the picture feels soft after disabling sharpening, it is recommended to use ReShade's CAS sharpening filter (the first slider is 0.0-0.5, the second slider remains at 1.0) or the sharpening function in the NVIDIA control panel.
• **Security Verification**: You are welcome to conduct virus scanning on tool files. This is the file reported in VirusTotal (0 warnings).

📝 Update log

• **UPDATE #1**: Based on feedback, there is now a "specific version" of the game that can be permanently patched directly using the HxD Hex Editor without having to run this tool every time. For specific operation instructions, please refer to this link.
• **Update #2**: Some users have reported that the latest version of Red Dead Redemption 2 sometimes causes a brief flash of bright light (such as when using a scope). This seems to be caused by the auto-exposure settings in DLSS. If you encounter this problem, I made an **alternative version** of the above tool that **disables auto-exposure**, you can find it in "Optional Files".

🚀 **Enjoy a clearer and more stable visual experience of "Red Dead Redemption 2"! **
