Modders extracted the DLSS 5 libraries from an NBA 2K27 update and enthusiasts began dropping them into other titles, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Director Daniel Vávra tested it and says it does not change character geometry or redraw appearances, it uses existing data to improve lighting and detail, fixing helmet shadows on faces and normal-map distortion that his team could never render, calling the result their original creative vision and saying no way haters will stop this. The r/artificial thread (93 upvotes, 41 comments) is the practitioner-versus-purist argument in miniature, over technology NVIDIA has not shipped yet.
