DLSS Frame Generation doesn't work

[Teo_]

Tried booting up the game today and my PC crashed and restarted on it's own twice during the shader compile or (something like that).

Searched about in online and it turns out that DLSS frame generation is the problem. I disabled the "Hardware accelerated GPU" setting from the windows displayed settings and the game booted just fine, but with this disabled the DLSS FG is completely gone from the game settings.

I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers and now the DLSS FG just doesn't work no matter what I do.

Also, is it me, or does the game feel really choppy and 60fps? I tried playing with FG off and with DLSS set to balanced with everything maxed out but despite the 60fps mark it felt really laggy.

Thank you everyone for sharing this controller workaround.

Can people for whom this works can share what controllers they use and if they are wired or wireless, please?

I can only confirm that this does not work for me. The issue itself seems a bit more elusive besides just disabling steam input or starting the game with a controller turned off.

I have a couple of things in my setup which may cause an issue that everyone isn't experiencing. I'm using an ultra wide monitor (Samsung odyssey G9) and i'm using a Razer huntsman analog keyboard (which some games might recognize as a controller)

If i have steam input disabled, every time i launch the game the DLSS option is there. Only problem is that around 50% of the time launching the game crashes my entire pc and it restarts.

On the other 50% the game launches normally and i can find dlss frame gen in the settings. This time the only problem is that the frame gen doesn't actually work. My game is running around 50-60 fps on RTX 4090. If i turn frame gen off it doesn't affect performance. If i turn it off and back on it might crash my entire pc again.

around 1 out of 10 times that i launch the game the DLSS frame gen functions as it should.
Now this might only be a theory but it seems to me that if i have steam input enabled i'm simply missing the dlss option from the menu when it wouldn't work anyway. And on the rare occasion it does work upon restarting the game it appears in the menu. With steam input enabled not once did i both see the dlss frame gen option in the settings while it didn't work. Every time i saw it there it worked but it might take a dozen or more restarts to get it rocking.

I used DLSS swapper to change frame gen version to 3.8.1. DLSS 4 has issues with frame gen. Before swap, my entire PC would restart/crash after spash screen, after swap no issues at all.

I also have Steam Input disabled for Shadows which prevents DLSS from being available in options for some reason. Just sharing the 2 workarounds that have worked for me.

Hope it helps.

A workaround for system crashes is setting the monitor refrest rate to 120Hz if you have a high refresh rate monitor. This way all DLSS options are available and work normally. I don't recommend using older versions of DLSS since the game designed around to work with DLSS4 and higher. Besides, older versions of DLSS-FG use more VRAM and give less FPS.

Guys. I fountge answer. So if you dont have dlss frame gen in assasins creed shadows game or any other, and you have windows 10, this will fix everything for you:

Enabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling in Windows 10:

Press Windows key on your keyboard and type "graphics" and press enter. - Graphics settings menu should open.
In the Graphics settings menu toggle the "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" option.
Restart your PC.

And here you have dlss frame gen in all games.

Hi All.

I know it may seem strange but if your using a controller try booting up the game with your controller fully powered off and disconnected from your computer. Everytime i launch the game this way DLSS Frame gen is visible. If i start the game with my Xbox Elite controller on then DLSS Frame gen is missing.

Very odd indeed and not sure if that is just happening to me but worth a shot :D. I had a similar issue with Call of Duty if my controller was powered on

Dude seriously goated answer. Almost a month later and this was the fix. Take my award!!!

Just turn Steam Input off. It's not necessary and you don't have to do this nonsense.

I avoid buying games from Valve specifically because of Steam Input. You unfortunately bought the game from them, they broke DLSS for you, and you're still going to jump through hoops rather than just turning Steam Input off :(

What the hell? It's stupid and makes no sense but it works.
Thank you!
