[Feature request] Manually add games folders

[montybet]

For non Steam games, browsing the game .exe would be nice.

[beeradmoore]

Hey @montybet,
Do you mean so you can add your game that you got from the Epic Game store (or any place that isn't steam), or is there some games that are just installed into random places.

If you could provide any examples that would be great so I can work on that.

It does get complicated adding a random folder, it means we need to have a way for the user to say this directory is Doom, and potentially also have them add an image for it.

[revanmj]

I would use it to add RDR2 from Rockstar Social Club or Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG Galaxy.

[montybet]

Well, I don't know how many platforms have DLSS compatible games (i.e. I don't think battle.net has any) but at leat it would be nice that the app woul read default Steam, GOG and Epic folders from al installed drives.

[SawPsyder]

I would also love a method to give this program the dlss-file location or the .exe location. Whatever it will be.

In my case for example for these games:

• Cyberpunk 2077 (GOG)
• Watchdogs Legion (Ubisoft Connect)
• COD Cold War (Battle.NET)
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (Random place ;) )

Similar issue to #24

[Olfdev]

I do have the same request. I uninstalled it because it doesn't see 80% of my games.
Actually, it only sees Steam games. Any game that I installed via an installer (the old school way :) doesn't show up.
We could have the option to just go and pickup an .exe, like Steam does for non-steam games. It doesn't matter if I have a cover, this is purely cosmetic.

[beeradmoore]

Are you able to give an example of a game installed the old school way that supports DLSS so I can add it to my list to test with?

[Zriel88]

any GOG installer for example (Cyberpunk 2077)

[beeradmoore]

Oh? I thought games were downloaded with GoG Galaxy launcher. I will have to look into this some more as I don't use GoG. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Zriel88]

Any game bought on gog can be either downloaded using GOG galaxy or download an installer from the site and installed manually. Used for installing games on PC without internet connection for example. Or to stash your buyed games and keep them even if the apocalypse comes XD

[tirthpatell]

Hey Brad great work! But unfortunately I save my steam games on different drive and none of my games are being detected. Is there any way to resolve this? I couldn't find solution.

[beeradmoore]

Hey @ptirth , happy to help, can you make a separate issue so we can go through steps and see what is wrong over there so we can keep this thread on topic

[FIocker]

How about a barebones initial version of this that makes you point to a nvngx_dlss.dll and then add a name for the "game". A blank picture would be an okay start as well. Could just say "Custom" or spell out the name you entered.

Would be a great band-aid fix for all those games that don't show up automatically.

Not to mention give one the flexibility to swap out dlss .dlls on anything from dev builds to other software using DLSS.

[beeradmoore]

@FIocker , thats the plan (sorry for late reply)

1. • button to manually add game
2. Browse to game location
3. Enter game name (default the folder name)
4. Optionally add an image to keep things looking nice.

It does add some issues with future plans such as being able to launch the game directly from DLSS Swapper so that will require extra work.

[erictheaussie]

This feature would be great as games with DLSS support added via mods are now starting to emerge (PureDark's Skyrim DLSS mod, Praydog+PureDark's RE Engine DLSS support)

[beeradmoore]

@rforced , this isn't closed. The duplicate issue (#99) is closed because it is a duplicate :P

It is still planned but nothing has started yet. Not sure if this will come first or the more detailed game summary when you select a game. Both will impact each other, but games summary screen is required for DLSS 3 support.

[PiFZAR]

Any update on this? Non steam Hogwarts Legacy cannot be found on DLSS Swapper.

[YoLolo69]

I just tested this App and I'm glad you still work on it.
I see you're working on this missing feature to be complete (adding games manually or search directory like "C:\Games", "D:\Games", etc. ala Nvidia App/GeForce).
With that feature added it will be perfect IMHO!
Thanks to the Team for your work!

[erttispc]

Hey, any idea why I'm crashing when trying to add games on the custom directory branch ?

[Smoukus]

Any progress on this? I've just seen that the issue has been open since 2021.

[beeradmoore]

@Smoukus , issue has been open since 2021, but work on it started much more recently for other reasons. The progress is where it was from my last update as time has not allowed for it yet.

Hey there stranger,

what help do you need in order to help get this feature implemented?

[Smoukus]

Really hope that the repo owner gets back on track with this project. It seems to continue for few days, and then gets paused for literal weeks.
The project is really good.

[beeradmoore]

Same 😅

It's what happens when you only get time on weekends, but also don't have time or energy every weekend. But then when things do align you spend all the time figuring out where you were up to and what you were doing next. Rinse and repeat. It's an awful cycle :P

At least for today I have been back at it again

[drake90001]

I can relate. Please let me know if I can help in any way! (u/drake90001 from Reddit) Drake

More progres shots of v1.1 (not just manually adding games). I also ranted about FSR over here.

This feature is awesome!
Is there a roadmap with a changelog to know the date and features added in this 1.1?
FSR will be part of this 1.1 ?

[beeradmoore]

There is, for some reason it was not linked to this repository. It is now up the top in the Projects tab.

You can also see it here.

[TatsunaKyo]

May someone guide me through the process of getting @alaseridan lcl_8_manuallyAddGames branch? I have cloned the repository, but I cannot get the branch in question.

[beeradmoore]

@TatsunaKyo , filing an issue on their GitHub repository is the best way to get support on a custom branch.

[TatsunaKyo]

Sorry, I didn't mean to be ill-mannered.

[beeradmoore]

Thats ok, I didn't mean it to be mean or harsh.

But in general if someone has created a fork and done their own things then going to them directly is the best place to ask for assistance.

[nicktheonlyone]

Sorry, I didn't mean to be ill-mannered.

ill mannered is crazy😂😂😂. what are u even talking about

[nicktheonlyone]

also thanks for working on this feature. i need it for my cracked games

[Smoukus]

Just use other repo that has all the features that you waiting for in this one: https://github.com/Drommedhar/DlssUpdater

Dlss updater also doesnt have the custom game folder feature. What a disappointment

[beeradmoore]

Should I setup a donation link to help pay the bills so I can spend more time on things like this and less time at work? Will you donate, how much would you donate?

[nicktheonlyone]

idk. the program feels done all it needs is the browse game folder feature. i wont ask for anything else after that

[MiLeX84]

@alaseridan what version are you using? I am on 1.0.5 and I don't have the option for manually added games.
Any progress on the manually added games in general? Fells like there hasn't been an update in forever.

[nicktheonlyone]

there's progress. the owner posted a pic of the new feature but he just has to finish it up. i'm thinking it'll be done soon. then i can play MSFS with dlss 3.8.

It does:

You have to manually select the ... in path.

[nicktheonlyone]
