Quick Start

• [] Install using Ultra+ Manager (UPM) (recommended) or manual installation

  [] Configure settings using UPM or edit config files

  [] Press F12 in-game to apply settings (disable Steam screenshots if conflicting or change the Apply Settings keybind in UPM)  Keybinds do not work right now in this game. Must use AutoApplyConfig with UPM or set settings before launch.

  [] Load presets: apply uplus_defaults then a quality preset (low/medium/high/veryhigh/epic)

  [] Check game-specific tips below for detailed information

  Manual Installation: Extract the mod files to your game directory.

  Important: Do not use Engine.ini mods with Ultra+ as they will likely cause crashes or visual issues. Ultra+ already includes comprehensive engine optimizations.

  Overview

  U+ for CODE VEIN 2 addresses many of the problems in the vanilla game from poor draw distance, flickering shadows, missing shadows, reflections, cloud quality, to black bars in cutscenes and FPS locked cutscenes. It also improves performance at default settings.

  Important Information

  Keybinds not working, must use AutoApplyConfig with UPM or set before launch

  Game Tips

  • [] Game light sources are not placed correctly therefore enabling shadow casting can look odd in some places

    [] MainWorldDrawDistance addon significantly increases the default draw distances so that things close to the player are rendered and not super blurry

    [] ExtendedDrawDistance setting also significantly increases the distance at which minor objects are rendered, this will remove the circle of things popping in near the player

    [] UnlockCutsceneFPS addon removes the 30 fps cap from cutscenes

    [] RemoveBlackBars setting removes the black bars during cutscenes for ultrawide users

    [] Full U+ is not required to use addons if you choose to do so

    []Texture thrashing is now fixed, however when you first load into the game, the texture pool will rebuild a couple times to figure out the correct sizing - it will be stable after this

    []Now with some significant performance improvements in certain interior/underground locations

    Performance Info

    • []Like with any UE5 game, clearing shaders is a good idea. The troubleshooting link at the bottom will tell you how if you don't know.

      []Anything above stock settings is increasing a setting above vanilla values. Low is mostly vanilla, medium is higher than vanilla.

      []You will get a few stutters after loading due to fixing the games completely broken textures.

      []There is a setting to enable FSR frame generation if you want to use FG. You don't need a mod to put r. FidelityFX. FI. Enabled=1 in an Engine.ini.

      Add-ons

      [] LightsCastShadows: Makes most lights cast shadows including the lighting weather type

      [] MainWorldDrawDistance: Increases landscape and other draw distances in the main world so things aren't a big blur close to the player

      [] UnlockCutsceneFPS: Unlocks cutscene FPS from 30

      []Optimizations: currently decreases rate of calculating environmental lighting updates down from 256 per second to 16
