Hookshot version

v2.1.0

What kind of problem

Graphics (missing, black or wrong-coloured things, lighting, flicker)

What happened

DLSS doesn't really seem to work properly. When I try Quality, Balanced, Performance, or even Ultra Performance mode, DLSS doesn't appear to be applied at all. Instead, my games just become pixelated.

DLAA somehow works to an extent. I can definitely notice a difference on screen, but it comes at the cost of around 20–30 FPS.

I also saw another issue discussing how DLSS might be stacking, something like DLSS 5 ×2. Could that be related?
