## How Swapper handles Assassin's Creed Shadows

Anvil engine Japan. Native upscaler menu with per-patch DLL checks.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is a action RPG title from Steam / Ubisoft. Swapper scans for the installed copy, backs up stock DLLs, installs the chosen route, and lets you tune the neural pass from the F8 overlay.

## Install, tune, restore

Install the route, launch borderless, open F8 to set Style, Intensity, Structure and Skin, then keep the backup. Restore originals returns the folder byte-for-byte.

Online and anti-cheat modes stay stock. Compatibility is per build, not per franchise.
