I wonder if we will be able to use DLSS Swapper to update the dlss to DLSS 4. I've done it in other DLSS suported games, but for this, the anti cheat will problably prevent it.

The anticheat might trigger, but doesn't have to. I replaced DLSS 3 with 4 in some games with anticheat and I didn't get banned or anything. I hope it will be as easy with GTA.

I know I'm late but a simple .dll swap like that won't get you banned. It would be something like Fortnite where if you swapped it with an updated version then DLSS would be disabled or straight up not work as the AntiCheat detects if you change the game files.
Apparently some people got it to work so keep this in mind https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1imqi3h/rantdiscussion_dlss_4_is_here_still_no_update_for/mc4ybct/

Do you think it might trigger if I have vpn on? I only use it for the daily wheel spin as we can't use it in our country.

u/pokopingos Feb 20 '25

Doesn’t trigger for nord VPN for me

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

That's what I'm using,so i presume that I'm safe yeah?

u/pokopingos Feb 20 '25

Yeah dw about it much, I’ve recently played with modded files as well, battleye doesn’t do much

I’ve been using VPN constantly, don’t think a VPN would cause a ban. Once, I switched to Poland and found out the Casino bets weren’t available. Alt f4’d and switched VPN back to my own country then the bets were available again.

u/Virtualized_Potato Feb 20 '25

I've used both Windscribe and Proton VPN and it has worked just fine.

u/shball Feb 20 '25

I think you can force DLSS4 with the Nvidia App, not quite sure how it works though.

u/SirCollapse Feb 20 '25

Doesn’t work with all games sadly. On the other hand, I’ve heard NVIDIA Profile Inspector does basically the same thing for basically any game

u/4514919 Feb 20 '25

That's the last thing you want to do in an online game.

Redirecting game DLLs to external ones is exactly how cheats get flagged.

u/CharlesMcGrath Feb 20 '25

I'm just happy we'll have something to play until GTA 6 comes out on 6/6/26

u/CQC_EXE Feb 21 '25

The DLSS swapper in the app works on a majority of DLSS 3 games. It mostly the DLAA and ultra performance toggle that is blocked. The games just need to be whitelisted to have the option on, and Nvidia profile inspector can bypass this and toggle each of these settings on and off. No worry about anti cheat or anything as it's using the official app.

Tell you what. I’m not even gonna try it. Absolutely don’t want to get account banned/PC banned. Need to play 6 on the same PC, can’t risk it. I’m sure DLSS 3 will be sufficient.

17

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

Dlss 3 is nowhere near 4 in terms of clarity.

So we have a problem, chief.

I guess it's time I replayed on the strangers and freaks side missions. Cant ban me in single player I hope.

8

u/KachraBhiKhelat Can’t connect to R* servers Feb 20 '25

Well, I’m not risking it.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

I already have everything I want in online. And have done everything I want. If they want it they can have it. Oh no I will have to play all the great single player stories I missed while grinding gto for 699 hours over the years.

Gladly.

u/KachraBhiKhelat Can’t connect to R* servers Feb 20 '25

The risk I’m talking of is more for 6. If they ban my OC hardware, I’m fucked. I intend to play 6 on my same PC.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

Is that a thing they do?

4

u/MrBootylove Feb 20 '25

I can't say if Rockstar does it, but hardware and IP bans are relatively common in the PC gaming space.

5

u/KachraBhiKhelat Can’t connect to R* servers Feb 20 '25

Don’t even wanna find out. Kernel level AC have this capability. It happens in our games.

2

u/TooTallTabz Feb 20 '25

Considering R* didn't even want their games on PC, in the first place, I think they're a bit stricter with those players. They hate mods and cheaters.

u/SwimmingAbalone9499 Feb 20 '25

dlss 3 was still incredible before 4, it doesn’t somehow get worse.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '25

It doesnt get worse but people become more accepting to its flaws. like how theres a layer of fuzziness. id rather it looks clear like Michael bay's transformer model.

2

u/sykoKanesh PC - sykotikOG - L657 - $250+ mill Feb 22 '25

Yeah, but how many people are actually going to need DLSS? You can always just turn the graphics down and use native resolution.

IF that's even necessary, which it probably won't be.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '25

well i hope they add a psycho setting for the global illumination, so it looks good. dont want just the sun. lamps too would be nice.

the thing is if you dont use dlss for anti aliasing gta kinda shimmers or crawls on certain surfaces life fences or straight poles. so instead of breaking the bank with msaa (the only aa that doesnt blur the whole image) gives us dlss. can always use DLAA.

1

u/sykoKanesh PC - sykotikOG - L657 - $250+ mill Feb 22 '25

Yeah, I'm hoping for (and going with) DLAA as well. I'm only rocking a 60hz 1080p monitor, so DLSS doesn't even make sense for me personally.

I figure a lot of folks are probably in that same boat.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '25

gonna be a great send off to see gta 5 in a new light right before the next era unfolds

happy hunting

u/sykoKanesh PC - sykotikOG - L657 - $250+ mill Feb 22 '25

I'm diggin' it bro! Can't wait to check it out!

u/SnooMarzipans1416 Feb 20 '25

I heard the pc version is going to take sometime to come out. Hopefully not too long I want to use my pc too.

u/Just_Cruzin84 Feb 20 '25

Thank you. I honestly don’t even know what you guys are talking about but it sounds gray so seeing your comment saying that you will choose to not CHEAT at least gives me some hope for others. Thank you.

It’s not a “cheat” per se. What we’re saying is the BattleEye might think of it as one and ban us, since it’s kernel level.

The “thing” we were talking about it is how R* say they’ll support DLSS 3, but Nvidia has rolled out DLSS 4. And there’s workaround wherein you can play with some config files and “force” any game to use DLSS 4 instead of 3, as DLSS 4 is much better. Since we need to change a game file/config file, kernel level AC might flag it. Hence, I’m not risking it. I’ll be content with DLSS 3 until R* supports DLSS 4 officially.

u/Just_Cruzin84 Feb 20 '25

Gotcha. Ok well I hope it does work out so you guys can enjoy the game as well. 👍🏻

1

u/H3LLGHa5T Feb 21 '25

well it should be fine to force it in Nvidia App as it's an official tool, if Nvidia enables the feature. Using Inspector is a different story, people have gotten banned (although rarely) for using it to tweak settings outside of Nvidia control panel can do, while I've never heard about anyone getting banned over using official driver tools apart from that AMD Anti Lag story which was AMDs fault and the bans were lifted consequently...

2

u/BravoMI6 Feb 20 '25

Cant you force the new K driver(or whatever the dlss4 is) anyway with the NVIDIA App?

2

u/MazdaRotaryPT Feb 20 '25

Preset K (transformer model) only works if you also update the DLSS dll to 310 version (DLSS 4). If the game releases with version 3.8 or previous (DLSS 3), it wont work.

2

u/BravoMI6 Feb 20 '25

Sooo..do we know what Version they are releasing?

1

u/MazdaRotaryPT Feb 20 '25

Not really. It could also be that the game releases with the latest dll version, while only supporting DLSS 3 features. In that case it would be possible to enable the transformer model.

1

u/Evers1338 Feb 21 '25

If you force the override through the Nvidia app it overrides that shouldn't be needed, that's the whole point of it, that you no longer need to manually swap dll files and instead can switch to the present you want through the app.

1

u/justlovehumans Feb 20 '25

just swap it yourself. It's as simple as downloading the .dll and replacing it in the correct NVIDIA folder in the games location. If anticheat hates this, it'll either replace it on launch itself or fail to launch until you verify files.

1

u/RoR_Icon_God Feb 20 '25

Where can I download the DLSS 4 .dll?

2

u/justlovehumans Feb 21 '25

google dlss download. What's with kids these days lol

it's the techpowerup link.

1

u/Hughjarse Feb 20 '25

I don't know jack shit about how you change it, but if it's in the settings file located in > Documents >Rockstar Games, it won't trigger any ban as that's not game files

u/Megafister420 Feb 21 '25

"Anti cheat"

1

u/Hije5 Feb 21 '25

That would be spectacular. DLSS 3 sucks. I always opted never to use it because it always made everything slightly blurry no matter the sharpness. DLSS 4 is lightyears ahead of it. It still isn't the best with dark visuals, but in lit areas, I can't see a difference between off/on. I've been playing KCD2, and everything looks spectacular.

1

u/AstroCon Feb 21 '25

Doubtful the anticheat will catch it. Kernel-level anticheats are looking for suspicious memory activity during runtime, I would be very surprised if battleye freaks out from the directx DLL being swapped.
