[Bug]: 007 First Light — Washed-out/blown-out white image with NR enabled, upscaling fails with 0xbad00005

### Environment * **Game:** 007 First Light (Steam, Retail) * **Graphics API:** DirectX 12 * **DLSS 5 Swapper:** v2.1.1 * **Add-on:** RenoDX DLSS5 Generic v4.6 (build Aug 31 2026 / ReShade API v18) * **GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU * **Driver:** 616.56 * **Display:** 3840×2160 @ 120 Hz, 8-bit RGB, SDR (`ColorSpace = 0` / Rec.709) * **HDR:** Disabled in Windows 11 and disabled in game --- ### Description Immediately after patching the game with DLSS 5 Swapper v2.1.1, the entire in-game image becomes severely washed-out / blown out white. * Toggling Neural Rendering **OFF** via `F6` immediately restores standard, correct rendering. * Toggling NR back **ON** instantly reintroduces the washed-out white clipping. * Adjusting RenoDX / ReShade overlay parameters (`NR Intensity`, `Color Strength`, `Transfer`, `Paper White`) does not alleviate the white washout. --- ### Log Analysis & Key Findings 1. **Upscaling Failure (`0xbad00005`):** When attempting low-resolution contract upscaling (`1280x720 -> 3840x2160`), the runtime explicitly rejects the color contract: ```text [DLSS 5 Neural Rendering] DLSS5 Generic: created inline NR resources 1280x720 -> 3840x2160 (upscaling) format=10 [DLSS 5 Neural Rendering] DLSS5 Generic: feature 18 created via the signed snippet after DLSS/DLAA for NR input 1280x720 -> output 3840x2160 with guides 1280x720 [DLSS 5 Neural Rendering] DLSS5 Generic: feature 18 evaluate failed with 0xbad00005; the game DLSS output was retained (th...
