Display Commander is a ReShade addon that provides in-game control over display, windowing, performance, and audio. It adds a simple UI inside the ReShade overlay to adjust borderless/fullscreen behavior, window size and alignment, monitor targeting, FPS limiting (including background caps), and per-process audio volume/mute.
Note: Applying window operations from the main thread can crash some apps. This addon performs them on a background thread.
✅ Version Requirement: This addon requires stable ReShade 6.6.2 or later. The addon is now fully compatible with stable ReShade releases.
Latest stable release: Latest Release - Compatible with ReShade 6.6.2

🔨 Workflow artifacts: Download from the latest successful workflow run (requires GitHub account for artifact downloads).
- Window mode: Borderless windowed (aspect ratio or explicit width/height), borderless fullscreen, or no changes
- Monitor targeting: Choose which monitor to use; view current display info and refresh rate
- Black curtain: Optional full-screen black layers on the game monitor and/or other monitors (windowed games, multi-monitor)
- Alignment: Snap window to corners or center
- Window controls: Minimize, restore, maximize (applied on a background thread to avoid crashes)
- Display hotkeys: Move to previous/next monitor (Win+Left / Win+Right), move to primary/secondary (numpad +/-), minimize/restore (Win+Down / Win+Up)
- Prevent minimize: Option to avoid game window minimizing on alt-tab
- FPS limiter: Custom limiter with foreground and optional background caps; multiple modes (e.g. OnPresentSync, Reflex, LatentSync, Safe mode)
- Background FPS: Optional separate FPS limit when game is in background (checkbox + slider)
- Live indicators: Flip state (composed/independent), VRR status, present mode (DXGI/Vulkan/OpenGL)
- Limit real frames: Works with frame generation (DLSS-G, etc.) to limit real frames instead of generated ones
- Per-process volume: Control game volume independently
- Mute options: Manual mute, mute in background, conditional background mute
- Per-channel VU meters: Main tab and OSD
- Hotkeys: Volume up/down, brightness up/down (configurable step)
- NVIDIA Reflex: Low-latency mode integration for reduced input lag (native and configurable)
- Inject Reflex: Optional injection of Reflex (sleep + latency markers) for games without native Reflex
- AntiLag II / XeLL: AMD AntiLag 2 and XeLL support via fake NVAPI (experimental, for non-NVIDIA GPUs)
- PCLStats (ETW): Optional PCLStats event reporting for Special K–style tools
- HDR hiding (experimental): Option to hide HDR modes or force SDR for compatibility
- DLSS information: Status, quality preset, scaling ratio, internal/output resolution on Main and Swapchain tabs
- Frame Generation (FG): FG mode display in the OSD when DLSS-G is active
- DLSS overrides: Preset overrides, internal resolution scale, M–Z presets; optional hide DLSS-G from ReShade
- VRR status: DXGI and NVAPI VRR state (enabled/requested/possible) on Swapchain tab
- Configurable hotkeys: Full Hotkeys tab — window/display, volume, brightness, black curtain (other displays), independent window toggle, etc.
- XInput: Controller support and hooks for remapping / compatibility
- Windows.Gaming.Input: Option to suppress WGI so games use XInput (helps with continue rendering / fake fullscreen)
- Input remapping: Controller remapping and related presets
- Continue rendering in background (fake fullscreen): Game keeps rendering when alt-tabbed (no minimize/focus spoofing)
- Standalone / independent UI: Run settings in a separate window or without ReShade (.NO_RESHADE, SetupDC)
- Proxy loading: Rename the built addon (
zzz_display_commander.addon64/.addon32) next to the game to one of these proxy DLL names: dxgi.dll, d3d9.dll, d3d11.dll, d3d12.dll, ddraw.dll, hid.dll, version.dll, opengl32.dll, dbghelp.dll, vulkan-1.dll, or winmm.dll. In the addon (DLL) folder or%LocalAppData%\Programs\Display_Commander\:.DC_CONFIG_GLOBAL— store config and ReShade data in%LocalAppData%\Programs\Display_Commander\Games\<game_name>\(global per-game folder;game_nameskips generic exe path segments likeClient/Binaries/Win64). The empty flag file can live next to the addon or in the Display_Commander app data root (one place is enough)..DC_CONFIG_IN_DLL— store config and ReShade data in the addon folder instead of the game folder.DC_GLOBAL_SHADERS— force-add Display Commander global ReShade shader/texture search paths for all games (%LocalAppData%\Programs\Display_Commander\Reshade\Shadersand...\Textures) regardless of per-game checkbox/config..NO_RESHADE_CLOCK— in the same app data root, makes Display Commander turn off ReShade’s overlay clock (OVERLAY.ShowClock) when applying ReShade config overrides. See Expert: Flag files in the game directory.
- Addon directory DLL loading: From the same folder as the addon, .dc64 / .dc32 / .dc / .asi are loaded before ReShade; .dc64r / .dc32r / .dcr are loaded after ReShade (for addons that need the ReShade API). All of these DLLs are loaded in place; Windows keeps them locked while the game is running, so you may need to exit the game before overwriting them with newer builds.
- NVIDIA Profile (Inspector): View and edit driver profile for the current game; apply as administrator
- CPU control: Core affinity and process priority (Main / Settings tab in standalone)
- Clip cursor: Option to clip cursor to game window
