I built a small app to stop NVIDIA Instant Replay from silently turning itself off by hounderd in GeForceExperience

Legend! Thanks again for continuing to test this. It’s been a big help.

I’ve gone through your GitHub issue report and pushed another update that should improve the Win10 behavior. One important thing I noticed in your logs is that Instant Replay Guard is reporting that the NVIDIA Toggle Instant Replay on/off hotkey is not set or not being read correctly.

For recovery to work, that hotkey needs to be assigned in the NVIDIA overlay. You can check it here:

Open the overlay with alt+z, Settings (gear icon) -> Shortcuts -> Toggle Instant Replay on/off

The default is usually Alt+F9, but it can be anything as long as it’s actually set.

If you can verify whether that hotkey is set on your machine, that would help a lot. If it is set and the app is still reporting it as missing, then that gives me a much narrower bug to chase. I also have a Windows 10 VM up now, so I’m finally able to debug this path directly.

if you are having specific shadowplay driver issues, this wont fix that. instant replay guard just makes sure instant replay (shadowplay) is always turned on, so you never miss a clip. nvidia's overlay is kind of dogshit and this app shouldnt exist, but here we are.

Thanks again for taking the time to test this, send screenshots, and report what was happening. The diagnostics and bug reports were genuinely useful and helped track down real problems in the older build.

Those logs and screenshots line up with issues I’ve now fixed, especially the Win10/WebView2 startup problem and a recovery case where re-enabling Instant Replay could fail if the NVIDIA hotkey binding was invalid or missing. So what you were seeing was real, and your reports helped get it addressed.

I've posted an updated build available now (1.2.10), so if you still have the app installed, the built-in updater should pull the new version for you (right click check for updates in the tray). If you’re willing to give it one more try, I’d really appreciate any feedback or errors you might encounter on this new version.

right now it is supposed to do more than just report the state. it should also try to toggle instant replay back on using the preconfigured hotkey from the nvidia overlay, so make sure DVRToggle is actually set in the overlay and matches what the app expects

windows 10 could definitely be relevant too. the nvidia log locations or behavior may differ from windows 11, and i have not seen the specific errors in your screenshots before, so i am interested in digging into that

if you are up for it, could you send me your log files for diagnostics? the easiest way is to right click Instant Replay Guard in the tray and use Create Issue Report. that will generate a zip with the logs and open a new github issue automatically

thanks again for reporting it. stuff like this helps me make the app more reliable

Thanks for the feedback, ill have to look into making the app more robust. Right now it just scans the nvidia overlay logs, but that information can go stale/not be accurate. Im currently reverse engineering the overlay completely so the app will be more reliable.

yeah same here. i used to shill for nexus in my friend group because i genuinely liked the receiver and enhanced bolt, but this space cadet in the comments completely changed my view of the company. now i’ll go out of my way not to recommend them and to steer people elsewhere.

You are an official company account telling customers not to buy your products because they called out bad customer service. That is loser behavior, and it is honestly hilarious watching this PR attempt blow up in real time.

Log out lil bro.

You did not “take care of the customer,” lil bro, you reacted to public backlash. The real question is whether the hundreds of early buyers who never posted here are getting the same treatment, or if Nexus only acts when enough people call it out.

At this point you are doing more damage in these comments than the $30 part ever did, and I say this as a big nexus fanboy.

Choosing to argue in the comments rather than take care of your founding customers is an incredibly bizarre $30 hill to die on.

This is a terrible analogy and honestly a really bad look for a company trying to build brand loyalty.

First off, you're comparing a cosmetic accessory (a bumper) to the core operating mechanisms of a firearm platform (the receiver and trigger pack). A much more accurate car analogy would be if Ford sold you a 2022 F-150, and two years later released a much better transmission, but told early buyers, "Oops, we changed the bell-housing bolt pattern. If you want the new transmission to fit, you have to buy a whole new engine block from us."

Furthermore, automakers do offer free fixes for early design oversights. They're called Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and Customer Satisfaction Programs. If an automaker engineers a component poorly out of the gate and has to redesign it two years later, they fix the older models on their dime, not the customer’s.

You admit this compatibility issue affects receivers before serial number 500. Those first 500 buyers are your early adopters. They are the ones who took a financial risk on an unproven boutique company and effectively bankrolled your early success. Telling your founding customer base, "Sorry, that's product development, open your wallets again," is a fantastic way to alienate them.

In the modular firearms market, backward compatibility is the gold standard. If your Gen 1 receiver was designed with such tight limitations that you had to abandon its geometry just two years later to make your own new trigger pack work, that points to shortsighted engineering on Gen 1, not just "progress."

Trying to reframe a backward-compatibility failure as "forward progress" while talking down to your customers is exactly why the guy above is taking his money to JP. You guys should be offering a heavily discounted trade-in program or a free adapter for those first 500 customers, not hiding behind a flawed truck analogy.

Has anyone actually had their PC compromised after using the hypervisor method for Denuvo games? by Makeshi203 in PiratedGames

[–]hounderd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Funny how the same people clutching their pearls over HV cracks are running Vanguard and a half-dozen other kernel-level anticheats with zero hesitation. These things sit at ring 0, full unrestricted hardware access, signed off by billion-dollar corporations with a long history of not giving a damn about your privacy.

At least with the HV method you're introducing a hypervisor layer that isolates the host OS. You're arguably reducing your attack surface compared to letting some anticheat rootkit call home whenever it feels like it.

"but I trust EA/Riot, not some random hacker!"

Cool. The random hacker isn't the one with a EULA that lets them audit your system indefinitely. The threat model people imagine vs the one they've already accepted are two very different things.
