# Spoofing
Except from first generation of DLSS2 games they all have some kind of NVidia verifying to enable DLSS option.
To bypass these checks modders have developed some tools.
## Windows
### Nvapi
For spoofing Nvapi calls FakeNvapi can be used. This is needed for enabling DLSS support for some games (like Shadow of the Tomb Raider etc.)
Also as a **big bonus** with latest releases FakeNvapi added support for AMD's AntiLag 2 & LatencyFlex to reduce input latency on games that supports Nvidia's Reflex.
##### Usage
Just put `nvapi64.dll` next to OptiScaler and set `OverrideNvapiDll=true` from `OptiScaler.ini`. This only works when OptiScaler is working as non-nvngx (not as `nvngx.dll`).
For using without OptiScaler:
You need to put `nvapi64.dll` file to your `%WINDIR%\System32` but **be careful!**
* If you are an Nvidia user **backup your original file** and restore after mod usage is over.
* Do not use this mod with online games, it might cause anti cheat issues or banning.

### DXGI
OptiScaler have built-in DXGI spoofing option which is enabled by default when working as non-nvngx (not as `nvngx.dll`).
#### d3d12-proxy
Alternatively for spoofing DXGI adapter checks d3d12-proxy can be used. This mod reports your GPU as RTX 4090.
##### Usage
Just place dxgi.dll file next to games executable.

### Vulkan
OptiScaler have built-in Vulkan spoofing options when working as non-nvngx (not as `nvngx.dll`).
Vulkan spoofing by default disabled and should be enabled from `OptiScaler.ini` when needed.
```ini
; Enables Nvidia GPU spoofing for Vulkan
; true or false - Default (auto) is false
Vulkan=auto
; Enables Nvidia extension spoofing for Vulkan
; true or false - Default (auto) is false
VulkanExtensionSpoofing=auto
```
#### vulkan-spoofer
Alternatively for spoofing `GetPhysicalDeviceProperties` checks vulkan-spoofer can be used. This mod reports your GPU as RTX 4090.
Compatiblity is a bit hit and miss, works for No Man's Sky (not working with latest streamline patch) but not working with Doom Eternal.
##### Usage
Just place version.dll file next to games executable.

## Linux
On Linux with you can use Wine & DXVK's embedded spoofing mechanisms.
### DirectX & Vulkan
For DXGI & Vulkan spoofing just create a `dxvk.conf` file next to game's executable with this content or just download it from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cdozdil/CyberXeSS/imgui-intergration/dxvk.conf).
```ini
dxgi.customVendorId = 10de
dxgi.hideAmdGpu = True
dxgi.hideNvidiaGpu = False
dxgi.customDeviceId = 2684
dxgi.customDeviceDesc = "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090"
```
### NVAPI
For spoofing NVAPI with Proton set this envvar `PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1`
## Goghor's DLSS Unlocker's
Goghor have created DLSS Unlocker mods for a lot of games which can be found on his [Nexus](https://www.nexusmods.com/spidermanmilesmorales/users/12564231?tab=user+files&BH=0) profile.
For example as far as I know for Doom Eternal still only way to enable DLSS is his mod.
