📋 About This Mod

HD TEXTURE PACK v3. 01 (Ray Tracing Version)

This version of the mod works with the new Ray Tracing update.  The Pre-Update version of this mod (recommended for VR) is available HERE. 

Description

This texture pack overhauls over 400 Resident Evil 2 Remake textures with higher resolution textures (1K - 4K).  This texture pack revamps select environmental textures along with hundreds of signs, decals, and newspapers to ensure that text is clean and readable.  Placeholder text like "lorem ipsum" was replaced with content that makes sense in the Resident Evil universe.

HD Repack Features

  • []NEW with v3. 01!  Over 130 high resolution textures from RE:Verse were ported to RE2.

    []Over 150 high resolution textures from RE3 were backported to RE2.

    []Over 150 low resolution textures were upscaled to 1K-4K using an AI neural network.  Upscaled textures were then retouched by hand in Adobe Photoshop.

    []The textures for many real life paintings i.e. "Virgin and Child with Four Angels", "The Toilette of Venus", "Study of a Woman’s Head", etc. have been replaced with high resolution photos.

    []Newspaper dates and imagery from the 2000s were replaced with dates and imagery from 1998.

    []Low resolution artwork on the S. T. A. R. S. office corkboards were replaced with alternative hi-res artwork from Resident Evil 3.

    []Newspapers on the RPD corkboards were replaced with beautiful hi-res newspapers featuring news reports from the Resident Evil novels.  All newspaper artwork credit goes to onyXkeyblade.  Special thanks for permission to use these graphics in this mod.

    Recommended Settings

    RE2 has two sets of textures:  Low resolution and Streaming (HD) textures.  The game will ALWAYS use low resolution textures if your Texture Quality is set under 3GB.  It is highly recommended to set your Texture Quality to 3GB or greater (preferably 8GB), as this will greatly improve select textures which are not covered by this mod.

  • Mix of official assets and custom work gives a fresh look

⚠️ Cons

  • Ray tracing version may demand more GPU power, so weaker rigs might see a hit
  • Texture pack is large (446 files) and might take time to download and install
  • Potential conflicts with other texture mods that touch the same files
🎯 Is This For You?
For Resident Evil 2 Remake players who want sharper, more detailed textures without overhauling the whole game. If you're running a mid-range PC and care about visual fidelity, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer vanilla textures or have a low-end GPU.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Fluffy Mod Manager to avoid overwriting files manually.
  • Check your GPU memory—4K textures can be heavy, so consider the 1K/2K options if you have 4GB VRAM or less.
  • Make sure to disable ray tracing if you experience stuttering, as the high-res textures plus RT can be demanding.
