3 flashes on first attempt. Also the menu or settings does not want to open for me, only a yellow square in the bottom right taskbar
I really want to upscale some old titles and test this tool out, but i only had luck with Reno XD tool for some DLSS games, and sometimes with the feeder for non DLSS games. I am missing out :( Codename 47 and Lorerim would be the first games i test

[perseval-BLR]

Thanks for the log. The worker dies on frame 0 with exit code 0 (not a TDR) - the same pattern as the 4080 Laptop case.

I've added a one-click diagnostic launcher to the release: NeuralScreen-diag.vbs (in the updated zip). Run it instead of NeuralScreen.vbs, reproduce, and attach the new NeuralScreen.log - it shows exactly where the worker dies.

Download the updated archive: https://github.com/perseval-BLR/DLSS5-NeuralScreen/releases/download/v1.4.1/neuralscreen-v1.4.1-full.zip

Also: desktop or laptop? Driver version?

The menu: left-click the tray icon (the yellow square) opens Settings directly, right-click gives the full menu. Numpad hotkeys need Num Lock ON, but the tray works regardless.

[bradleyzukowski]

@perseval-BLR Just used 1.4.1, same issue. I'm on a desktop 4090, driver version 616.56 log attached

NeuralScreen.log

[FurrySphere]

I have the same issue. 4090.
NeuralScreen.log
Meanwhile v1.3 works well.

Thanks for the log. The worker dies on frame 0 with exit code 0 (not a TDR) - the same pattern as the 4080 Laptop case.

I've added a one-click diagnostic launcher to the release: NeuralScreen-diag.vbs (in the updated zip). Run it instead of NeuralScreen.vbs, reproduce, and attach the new NeuralScreen.log - it shows exactly where the worker dies.

Download the updated archive: https://github.com/perseval-BLR/DLSS5-NeuralScreen/releases/download/v1.4.1/neuralscreen-v1.4.1-full.zip

Also: desktop or laptop? Driver version?

The menu: left-click the tray icon (the yellow square) opens Settings directly, right-click gives the full menu. Numpad hotkeys need Num Lock ON, but the tray works regardless.

i do not find this neuralscreen-diag.vbs There are 3 neuralscreen files for me, one batch, one application and one vbs.

Desktop, latest nvidia driver

Thanks to @bradleyzukowski and @FurrySphere for the diag logs - they pinpointed the exact failure: feature 18 create failed 0xBAD00001 on Ada. The root cause was the bundled nvngx_dlssnr.dll (a broken community patch), not your cards.

v1.5.0 is out with the fix inside - the runtime is now the community 310.8.0-RTX40 build (sm_89 + sm_120 kernels):

https://github.com/perseval-BLR/DLSS5-NeuralScreen/releases/download/v1.5.0/neuralscreen-v1.5.0-full.zip

@maxmillian420 - the diag launcher is no longer needed, the root cause is fixed. Unpack v1.5.0 over your folder and run NeuralScreen.exe; the menu opens with Num2 (or left-click the tray icon). If anything still misbehaves, attach the new NeuralScreen.log.

Used 1.5.0, same issue. I'm on a laptop 4070

Unpacked, ran new NR.exe, 3 flashes, no reaction. HDR off and even tried different resolutions.

Num 2 flicks my mouse towards an invisible menu, is it hiding behind Wallpaper engine?

The v1.5.0 archive has been rebuilt with NVIDIA's own 310.8.0 runtime (the community RTX40 patch turned out to die before NGX init on Ada - your logs showed no [host]/[pure] lines at all). Please re-download and try again:

https://github.com/perseval-BLR/DLSS5-NeuralScreen/releases/download/v1.5.0/neuralscreen-v1.5.0-full.zip

@greenkms - you are on a laptop 4070: hybrid graphics (Optimus) only works when the display is driven by the NVIDIA GPU. Force the dGPU - MUX switch to Discrete mode, or plug an external monitor into the dGPU port - then run again. On the iGPU the evaluation fails on the first frame, which matches your log.

@maxmillian420 - the invisible menu: Num2 does open it (the mouse jump is the menu taking the cursor), but the overlay may be hidden behind Wallpaper Engine. Try closing Wallpaper Engine, or right-click the tray icon -> Settings. If the menu still does not show, attach the new log.
