Used automated or manual install?

• [ ✅] Automated
• Manual

If on AMD/Intel and Automated, used DLSS inputs?

• Yes
• [ ✅] No

Also please mention in description which upscaler inputs are used (which upscaler you selected in game settings).

Did you check the Wiki and Compatibility List?

• [✅ ] Yes
• No

Please describe the issue and steps to reproduce it

When using DLSS G streamline as the input, and XESS FG as the output, everything works normally, and there are no graphical issues with the HUD. Unfortunately XESS gives me frame pacing issues and looks works than FSR, so I prefer to use FSR.

However, when using DLSS G streamline (or nukeM) as the input, and FSR FG as the output, it seems to no longer be using hudless, and the HUD has ghosting during motion.

I have attached

• [ ✅] OptiScaler.log (set LogLevel=0 and LogToFile=true in OptiScaler.ini, zip it if too big)
• [ ✅] Screenshot of Opti overlay in-game (opens with shortcut, default Insert)

Do you have DLSSG enabled in the game options? Seems like hudless is just not being sent. XeFG is superior so just powers through it but FSR 3 FG simply can't.

Also please try using opti as dxgi.dll as it seems that Opti gets loaded quite late and might not be catching everything it needs.

Yeah DLSSG is enabled in settings. No changes after using dxgi.dll

We are leaning towards a game bug. Maybe unnoticed if the DLSSG can handle the UI as well as XeFG. For now make sure you have the latest game build.

You could try your luck with using OptiFG (Upscaler) as FG input and using hudfix but previous death stranding games had issues with it. You can try using this as reference https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler/wiki/Death-Stranding-Director's-Cut
