Yes. Version conflicts, stale shaders and restore-first recovery. Install the route, test borderless, tune F8 where supported, and keep the backup.

No. Native builds upgrade in place; otherwise the Feeder route supplies neural inputs.

It opens Swapper's own panel over 64-bit DX11/DX12 Feeder and RenoDX games so you can move Style, Intensity, Structure, Skin and stabiliser sliders live.
