## What "Rust OptiScaler setup" means here

A OptiScaler setup install for Rust still needs the game itself. Swapper never ships games, only the neural route plus verified backups.

Rust is survival. Route API: DX12 / Vulkan bridge. Swapper runs on Windows. Restore originals reverses the install. Single-player only for injected routes.

Alternative upscaler bridge with FSR output and per-game builds. Updated component set: DLSS 310.9.1, Feeder 1.17.0, RenoDX 6.5.3, OptiScaler 0.8.92, ReShade 6.8.0, dgVoodoo2 2.87.5.

## Install, tune, restore

1. Open Rust in Swapper.

2. Install the OptiScaler setup route.

3. Launch borderless and press F8 where supported.

4. Keep the backup; restore before patches, backend switches or online play.

## FAQ

### Can Swapper do OptiScaler setup in Rust?

Yes. Alternative upscaler bridge with FSR output and per-game builds. Install the route, test borderless, tune F8 where supported, and keep the backup.

### Do I need native DLSS in Rust?

No. Native builds upgrade in place; otherwise the Feeder route supplies neural inputs.

### How do I undo everything?

Select the game and click Restore originals. Uninstalling the app alone does not touch game folders.

### What does the F8 overlay do?

It opens Swapper's own panel over 64-bit DX11/DX12 Feeder and RenoDX games so you can move Style, Intensity, Structure, Skin and stabiliser sliders live.
