📋 About This Mod

pls note that this mod currently removes first person shadow to make the vfx look better, some parameters regarding uv flashlight gameplay got tweaked to make the vfx better, some fixes may be expected to come.

1.luanch the game, go to options > video setting and switch render mode to D3D11(mod causes crashes in D3D12 and I unfortunately can't find a way to fix it)

2. To install,  you need 010 editor and some scripts from here(it also has almost everything you need to know about the texture mods):miru's rpack tool scripts

the rpack you should modify is engine_pc.rpack, the folder you should select is "textures"

Here is the video tutorial for installation : texture injection guide

3. Then, put data3.pak in steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source

if you already have a data3 then rename the mod to data4, and to data5 if you have data4 and so on

4.back up Dying Light 2\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets\common_prefabs_pc.rpack and

Dying Light 2\ph\work\data_platform\pc\assets\city\city_persistent_pc.rpack

and open these two rpacks with any text editer, then delete all the content inside

4.launch the game, the mods should work
