The DLL exists in:
Engine/Plugins/Marketplace/Nvidia/DLSS/Binaries/Win64/
Moving the DLSS plugin from the Engine Plugins folder to the project’s Plugins folder doesn’t help either.
I already tried:
- adding Unreal Engine folder to Windows Defender exclusions;
- running Unblock-File in PowerShell;
- verifying UE installation.
The issue only happens when the DLSS plugin is enabled. My own projects work if DLSS is disabled.
My PC:
Windows 11
RTX 3060 12GB
Ryzen 5 5600G
32GB RAM
Gigabyte B450M S2H
The main issue seems to be that Windows security features detect UnrealEditor-NGXVulkanRHIPreInit.dll as an unsigned DLL (NotSigned) and prevent it from loading.
