2. ⬇️ Download and install Optiscaler: Step-by-step guide
- ✅ The latest version of Optiscaler can be downloaded from the developer's Discord server (link in the description).
- ✅ Navigate to the local game files via Steam (Manage -> Browse local files).
- ✅ Unzip the downloaded Optiscaler file with 7-Zip into the game's installation folder and overwrite any existing files.
- ⚠️ If you already have Optiscaler installed, uninstall it first with the 'remove_optiscaler.bat' file.

3. ⚙️ Critical configuration: Vulkan wrapper and GPU selection
- ✅ Run the 'setup_windows.bat' file.
- ✅ Select option 2 ('wimm.dll') for the Vulkan wrapper, as Enshrouded runs on Vulkan.
- ✅ Select the appropriate option for your GPU (AMD or NVIDIA).
- ✅ Choose whether to use DLSS inputs (can be changed later in the INI file).

4. 🚀 Optiscaler in action: Activate XeSS and test performance
- ✅ Check if Optiscaler is installed correctly by looking for the DSS option in the game under Settings -> Display.
- ✅ Activate XeSS in the Optiscaler menu (Insert key).
- ✅ Optional: Set an FPS limit to use Anti-Lag 2.
- ✅ Optiscaler scales the game up from a lower resolution (e.g. 720p) to the native resolution of the monitor (e.g. 1080p).
- ✅ Using XeSS improves image quality compared to FSR.

5. 🔥 Lossless Scaling: Frame Generation for ultimate performance
- ✅ Start Lossless Scaling via Steam.
- ✅ Select LSFG 3.1 mode for Frame Generation.
- ✅ Set the multiplier to 2 for stability.
- ✅ Maximize the Flow Scale to 100% if you are using a 1080p monitor.
- ✅ Select WGC as Capture API for improved integration.
- ✅ Click "Scale" to activate Lossless Scaling.
- ✅ The game should now run with significantly higher FPS (e.g. 125-130 FPS).
- ✅ Thanks to Reflex (Anti-Lag 2 on AMD GPUs) there should be no noticeable input lag.
