It looks like in-game FSR-FG is the problem, if it is on while Optiscaler is also loaded, game immediately crashes. Also, HUD fix stops FG from working, FPS goes back to the count without FG.

[cdozdil]

Probably game and Opti both create FSR-FG swapchain and this cause issues.

Would it be possible to at least warn the user that the game already uses FG instead of leading it to an instant crash?

Why use the mod when FG is natively supported? Why add something like a warning when you can just go to the options yourself?

@heatguye I was having a stuttering issue with FG on, tried to see if it's any different with Optiscaler FG because the same thing happened to TLOU FSR3. Native FG had a frame pacing issue so people used LukeFZ's FG mod instead, I thought I was facing the same issue so I tried. Also, FG will probably be on stable release, and this behavior isn't stable.
