Hello,
I have an NVIDIA GPU, so i use nvidia app to manage games. When ac shadows came out i couldn't optimize the game through the app cause it said "unable to recover settings", then i understood that was a nvidia bug that was fixed with yesterday update. Now the error message doesn't show anymore but i cannot still optimize the game cause the "optimize" button doesn't show up. It does for all the other games but not for ac shadows. Any suggestion ?

Please note that the NVIDIA game profile optimization/optimize game settings may be wildly inaccurate and should not be used blindly, with the optimization profile should only be used as the minimal baseline for your graphics settings.

It is common for the optimization settings to not show up, or be not able to be applied directly, in the following situations:

  • game is extremely new (wait a few days before checking again)
  • laptop hardware, especially involving low end RTX GPUs
  • CPU and/or GPU is below the game's minimum specifications
  • game is from Xbox Game Pass

You can revert the changes done by the NVIDIA app by pressing the “REVERT” button on each game in the Graphics Section. If you want to fine tune the graphical settings to reach the desired frame rate and image quality, you will need to look up individual video settings for each game from other sources.

To use DLSS overrides:

Support notes:
DLSS overrides via the NVIDIA App is safe and is unlikely to cause any issues with supported games and apps, including multiplayer and games with anti-cheat, provided that you did not tamper with the supported games detection.

If using a third party tool to override, please use this in only single-player games with no anti-cheat systems, which will exclude almost every multiplayer game and many live service/"gacha" single player games. Some games also break with direct DLL swapping and either disable DLSS or have it produce errors or corrupted frames.

Having problems with the NVIDIA app?

  • Make sure to refresh the list of games in Graphics by clicking "..." and clicking "Refresh".
  • If all games are detected as unsupported, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the NVIDIA App. If this does not help, use DDU to fully remove all traces of NVIDIA drivers and App, then reinstall both (the latest GRD driver will automatically install the latest version of NVIDIA App). Then refresh the games list using the above step.
  • Some games are not automatically detected with the game scanning. You may need to manually add these games by clicking "..." and clicking "Add a program". For some titles, the actual executable may be significantly inside their root folder - usually Unreal Engine games.
  • Some games may have "Support not detected" instead of "Use the 3D application setting" despite being supported in the list. For these games, make sure that the game is being detected correctly (these will usually have a non-generic icon if this is the case), then start the game, activate DLSS features, save the settings, exit the game, and then recheck.

I want simply to aknowledge why that optimize button doesn't show up. I am considering to uninstall and reinstall the game so nvidia can re scan it

I wouldn't want to use that button anyway

#

My specs are more than appropriate to run the game btw

It can mess with the game settings files and corrupt them

#

The best option is to adjust the settings accordingly on the game itself

#

The fact that nvidia app recognizes the game but do not optimize wont create "issues" or problems to the game settings ? Like fps drops or settings not applied correctly?

The "Optimise" button is the one that actually messes your game settings

#

and we have cases where people press the button and the game opens in a wrong resolution and dropped frames
