📋 About This Mod

This mod is for those who have problems with shadows.

Installation:

  • []Download mod

    []Unpack and copy the INI to Cyberpunk 2077\engine\config\platform\pc

    If you use another mod where the parameter is EnableRIS = false, enable it by adding a line in the .ini file

    EnableRIS = true

    It is important that with any change in the game settings, the data that is loaded from the *.ini file is overwritten by the game.

    Restart the game so that they can be used again.

    The mod was tested on RTX 3080, I do not know how it will behave on other video cards. Leave comments about the problems.
