Odyssey Longer Draw Distance and LOD Fix

NOTE: This mod might have a big performance hit on your system. I suggest that you

try DXVK, since that will boost the framerate up to 30% on weaker hardware,

especially in a CPU / GPU heavy area such as Athens. Using DXVK is entirely optional though, it is not needed for the LOD fix to work. And some hardware doesn't even see any benefit in DXVK compared to the native DX11 solution.

You can get the latest DXVK from here: DXVK Releases

To install DXVK:

1.  Download the latest tar file from the GitHub page (currently dxvk-2. 6. 1.tar.gz )

2.  Open it with 7zip, and from under the folder x64 extract files named dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll to your game folder ( same place where ACOdyssey.exe is ). Overwrite the files in the destination folder when asked.

3. You should be good to go and start the game, note that there might be

some stuttering at first when DXVK builds the shaders for the first

NOTE: If you want to use HDR with DXVK

Create a text file named dxvk.conf into the directory where your game .exe is located and add this line to the dxvk.conf file:

For NVIDIA cards:

dxgi.hideNvidiaGpu = False

For AMD cards:

dxgi.hideAmdGpu = False

This makes the in-game HDR toggle in the settings menu to not be greyed out anymore. Source: DXVK configuration file

Now the LOD fix, this is tested to be working with the latest game version ( 1. 5. 6 ).

Two patch versions are available for download:

Ubisoft Store normal / Steam version

Huge thanks for Disterso for finding the address for the Steam version, helped a lot on getting this to work for the Uplay versions also.

The new patch versions permanently enable the increased LOD and draw distance, so the process needs to be done only once.

Guide for installing the patch versions, provided by RandomCOG:

• []Download Swiss File Knife, then rename the downloaded file to sfk.exe. (so if it was "sfk199.exe", you rename it to "sfk.exe")

  []Download and extract the applicable patch version of this mod.

  []Place the ".bat" file and "sfk.exe" in the game directory.

  []Run the bat file, press 1 then enter. You will see a new exe file with "_Patched" at the end of the filename.

  []Backup the original "ACOdyssey.exe or "ACOdyssey_plus.exe" to a different location.

  []Delete the "ACOdyssey.exe" or "ACOdyssey_plus.exe" from the game directory.

  []Rename _Patched.exe to how your original was. (So ACOdyssey.exe or ACOdyssey_plus.exe)

  []Start Assassin's Creed Odyssey and make sure the graphic setting Environment Details is set to Very High or Ultra High.
