1.2.1 is the latest version

Thought for a few seconds
There’s a known issue with the DLAA transformer mode in Community Shaders 1.2.1 that causes crashes (often when you switch tasks, ALT‑TAB, or otherwise force the game to reinitialize parts of its shader system). Even if you’re on the latest version, several users have reported that their shaders compile correctly at first but then the game crashes almost immediately when you interact with it (for example, by clicking back into Skyrim or minimizing and restoring the window) [​
NEXUSMODS.COM
].

Below are some detailed troubleshooting steps and workarounds you can try:

1. Confirm the Issue and Workaround Options
Known Bug in DLAA Transformer Mode:
Although version 1.2.1 is the latest release, many users (especially in clean-install environments) have reported that when using the DLAA transformer variant, the game “freezes” or crashes soon after shader compilation finishes. In several cases, users confirmed that reverting to Community Shaders version 1.1.15 prevented the crash [​
NEXUSMODS.COM
].

Alternative Anti-Aliasing Options:
If your settings allow, try switching temporarily to a different anti-aliasing method (for example, the convolutional mode rather than the transformer mode) if available in the in‑game CS configuration. This can help isolate whether it’s strictly an issue with the transformer mode.

2. Verify Mod Load Order and Conflicts
Disable Other Graphical Mods:
Sometimes, conflicts with other shader‐related mods (or even with certain UI/optimization mods) can trigger crashes. If you haven’t already, try running Community Shaders with only the essential files (and no additional graphics enhancers like ENB or certain shader presets) to see if the problem persists.

Clean Shader Cache:
Delete the shader cache folder (typically found in your game’s Data/ShaderCache folder) so that any corrupted or outdated shader compilations are cleared.

3. Update Drivers and System Settings
GPU Drivers:
Although the issue appears to be within the transformer mode itself, ensuring that your GPU drivers are fully up-to-date is still important. Occasionally, driver updates can improve shader compilation stability or resolve edge‑case issues with new features.

Window and Performance Settings:
Some users have also mentioned that minimizing the use of “full-screen” exclusive mode or adjusting settings that force a reinitialization of the shader pipeline (such as switching tasks or alt‑tabbing) can trigger or worsen the crash. Running the game in borderless window mode may reduce the frequency of the issue.

4. Consider Downgrading Temporarily
Fallback to an Earlier Version:
If the crash is preventing you from playing, the most reliable workaround reported by several community members is to temporarily downgrade to Community Shaders 1.1.15. Even though this version lacks some of the new features of 1.2.1, it provides better stability on your system until a fix or update addressing the transformer mode is released [​
NEXUSMODS.COM
].

5. Report the Issue
Community Discord or Nexus Forums:
Since you’re on the latest version and the DLAA transformer mode itself is causing crashes, consider reporting your findings—with details such as your system specs, load order, and exact crash behavior—to the Community Shaders team on their official Discord server or the Nexus Mods discussion thread. Detailed reports can help the developers isolate the problem and release a patch.

Summary
Even though 1.2.1 is the current version, the DLAA transformer mode has a known crash issue—especially when the game focus changes (like ALT‑TAB). Workarounds include switching to an alternative anti‑aliasing mode (if available), cleaning your shader cache, checking for mod conflicts, updating your GPU drivers, or temporarily reverting to version 1.1.15 for stability.

I hope this helps you get back to a stable game session while the issue gets ironed out. If you try these steps or have further details about your configuration, sharing those in the Community Shaders support channels can also help refine the fix.

is there dlss in 1.2.1?


ChatGPT said:
Reasoned for 21 seconds
The latest 1.2.1 release does include a deep‐learning–based anti‑aliasing option—often referred to as the DLAA transformer mode—which uses techniques similar to DLSS. However, it isn’t a full DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) implementation in the traditional sense (as seen in some games); rather, it provides an experimental mode that leverages deep learning for improved anti‑aliasing performance.

Some community guides (for example, a recent video tutorial titled “How to Upgrade Community Shaders to 1.2.1 with DLSS4 in FUS” published just a few days ago [​
YOUTUBE.COM
]) show that users with compatible NVIDIA GPUs can take advantage of this mode. If you’re looking for an upscale-like solution akin to DLSS, you might need to check that you’ve enabled the correct settings and that your GPU drivers are up‑to‑date.

In summary:

DLAA Transformer Mode: Yes—it’s available in 1.2.1 and uses deep learning techniques to improve anti‑aliasing.

Traditional DLSS Features: Not exactly; the mod uses DLAA methods rather than the full DLSS (with frame generation/upscaling) found in some other games.

If your goal is to use NVIDIA’s DLSS for upscaling, you may want to confirm the requirements (including supported GPU drivers) and review any available configuration guides on the mod’s official pages or community Discord channels.

i have a 4090 and transformers mode is causing crashes with my fus build specifically


ChatGPT said:
Thought for a second
Based on reports from community threads and user experiences, it appears that when using the FUS build (Fus or FUS-style build—often a highly optimized or experimental configuration) on an RTX 4090, the “transformers mode” (the DLAA transformer mode) can be especially unstable and lead to crashes.

Here are some suggestions and workarounds that might help:

• Switch or Disable Transformer Mode:
Many users have reported that transformer mode, which leverages deep‑learning–based anti‑aliasing techniques, is more prone to instabilities on very high‑end hardware with FUS builds. A common workaround is to temporarily disable transformer mode (or switch to any alternate anti‑aliasing option provided, such as convolutional mode) until a fix is released.

• Driver Updates and Compatibility Checks:
Even though you have a high‑end GPU, it’s worthwhile ensuring that you are on the latest NVIDIA drivers (or the most stable driver version recommended for your build) because sometimes new driver updates include adjustments for these specialized features. Also, double‑check that any extra compatibility options or recommended settings for your FUS build are applied.

• Mod and Build-Specific Settings:
In some FUS builds, transformer mode may be enabled by default. Check the configuration or in‑game settings of your FUS build to see if you can selectively disable the transformer option (or revert to the previous DLAA mode that had better stability).
If you have access to a troubleshooting guide or a Discord channel for your FUS build, consider asking there whether other users with RTX 4090 cards have found a specific setting or temporary build variant that doesn’t crash.

• Report the Issue:
Since you’re using high‑end hardware (RTX 4090) and the FUS build specifically, if none of these workarounds help you you might want to report your detailed system specs and the crash behavior to the FUS build or Community Shaders developers. Detailed reports (including logs, driver versions, and settings) can help them pinpoint whether a fix is forthcoming.

In summary, transformer mode in the FUS build seems to cause crashes for some RTX 4090 users. For now, the workaround is to disable or switch off transformer mode and use an alternative AA option until an update or patch addresses the instability. Keeping your drivers and configuration in line with build recommendations is also recommended.
