DLSS 5 Swapper's GitHub Page Went Offline for Hours (Sep 28)

What happened?

Our checks of the GitHub API found the repository rakanki911/DLSS5-Swapper answering normally at about 12:16 UTC on September 28, 2026. By 12:30 UTC both the repository and the developer’s account page returned 404 Not Found, and GitHub’s search reported the account as unavailable. Other repositories, including DLSS 5 Manager, were unaffected.

The page was a plain “Page not found”, not GitHub’s DMCA takedown notice, and no takedown request appeared in GitHub’s public DMCA log. By 16:02 UTC the repository and account were back, with the same releases, stars and issues. No explanation has been posted.

What changed?

Nothing in the software. When the repository came back, the latest release was still v2.2.7 from September 12, with the same files and SHA-256 values as before.

Update, September 29: the next day the developer published v2.2.8 and v2.2.9 and answered several open issues. No explanation of the outage has been posted. Their SHA-256 values are on the verify page, and the status page shows the current release.

What you should do

• Downloaded while the page was down? Any “DLSS 5 Swapper” you found elsewhere during those hours did not come from the developer. Check it with the verifier; if it does not match an official hash, delete it.
• Have the official file? Nothing to do. The app and its Restore originals backups work without GitHub.
• Worried about the next outage? The status page is checked automatically and shows a warning across this site if the repository disappears again. Official hashes of every release are archived on the verify page, so you can check a file even when GitHub cannot.

Outages are when fake copies spread fastest. See how to spot fake DLSS 5 Swapper downloads.
