Question 1

Why is the repo private?

Accepted Answer

The repository includes proprietary NVIDIA / RenoDX binaries in distribution/dlss5 and is currently maintained privately. Builds are distributed here. The emulator source inherits the upstream MIT license; the Ryubing upstream repository is public.

Question 2

What is (and is not) in the zip?

Accepted Answer

Includes the emulator, UI and audio/video dependencies, DLSS, Visual C++ runtimes, and the ReShade layer and installer. Games, keys and game shader caches are not included. Run install-reshade.ps1 as admin before using NR. See runtime files.

Question 3

Which version am I downloading?

Accepted Answer

The link serves the latest successfully published build. Every push to nr-vanilla, including the Monday upstream merge, triggers a build. A successful publication replaces the same file. The card gets its date and commit from the latest.json uploaded with the package.

Question 4

How does it relate to Ryubing?

Accepted Answer

A downstream Ryubing fork that attempts a weekly merge of upstream master. It adds graphics features, configuration and updater fixes, plus shader research code that is off by default. Game compatibility still needs individual testing.

Question 5

Known limitations?

Accepted Answer

TOTK DLAA can still suppress small sparks; the cause is unresolved. Window or frame-generation changes can cause x1 fallback or GPU hangs in some games, and 3x/4x remain experimental. Screen-space motion estimation is off by default; native game depth and jitter are not integrated.
