I have seen a few comments and posts regarding DLSS4 support and I am happy to see that NVIDIA has Star Citizen listed as supported for DLSS4, here are the steps to get it working in-game.

This new DLSS model does not work with the vulkan API at the moment.

  1. Make sure DLSS is enabled in-game.
  2. Exit out of the RSI Launcher
  3. Update Nvidia App and Game Ready Drivers
  4. Navigate to "Graphics" tab in Nvidia App
  5. Click the 3 dot menu button at the top of the programs list and choose "add a program"
  6. Navigate to your star citizen install which can be found in the RSI app then select

\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE\Bin64\StarCitizen.exe

  1. Select Star Citizen in the program list

  2. Change DLSS Override - Model Presets to "Latest"
