📋 About This Mod

RE2R Graphics Enhancement

A REFramework mod for Resident Evil 2 Remake that exposes and improves several graphics settings. Everything is controlled from a clean in-game menu under the REFramework Script UI.

General

  • []Image Post Processing — Toggle post-processing effects on or off.[/]

    []Disable Motion Blur — Disables the buggy motion blur. The game re-enables it during cutscenes, menus, and on reboot. This overrides all of that.[/]

    Shadows

    • []Shadow Quality — Directly controls the shadow quality tier, up to "Highest (4)", for significantly sharper and more detailed shadows without touching in-game settings[/]

      []Shadow Resolution — Push shadow map resolution up to Ultra (4096). Note: this will increase VRAM usage noticeably.[/]

      []Shadow Variance Scale — Controls shadow softness via variance-based filtering. Lower = harder, sharper edges. Higher = softer shadows with less aliasing but more light bleeding. Toggle off restores engine default.[/]

      []Contact Shadows — Enables true contact shadows, adding fine close-up shadowing on surfaces and characters.[/]

      RT Options (RT must be enabled in-game settings for this to take effect)

      • []Raytracing Quality — Overall RT pipeline quality level.[/]

        []RayTracingSpecularRoughnessThresholdQuality — Controls which surfaces receive RT reflections based on their roughness value.[/]

        []RTLightingTarget — Sets which lights are affected by ray tracing (e.g. All).[/]

        []Use Alpha Test — Enables alpha testing during RT passes for better handling of transparent or foliage geometry.[/]

        []Disable Aggressive Accumulate — Reduces ghosting and smearing on fast-moving objects in dim scenes at the cost of slightly more noise.[/]

        Experimental

        • []Denoiser(Warning) — (Default=ON) You wanna get ugly? Let's get ugly! - Leon[/]

          []Secondary Bounce — Second bounce for specular/reflections. Only works when Denoiser is disabled.[/]

          Diffuse GI (Toggle off will go back to Default Value)

          • []DiffuseResolution —(Placebo) Diffuse GI ray tracing buffer resolution preset. Origin_Res renders GI at full resolution. Half_Res = half resolution upsampled.[/]

            []DiffuseBounceIntensityMultiplier — Scales the intensity of diffuse GI bounced light.[/]

            []DiffuseRayLength — Maximum world-space distance a diffuse GI ray can travel.[/]

            Specular / Reflections (Toggle off will go back to Default Value)

            []SpecularResolution — (Placebo) Specular/reflection buffer resolution. Origin_Res = sharper reflections. Half_Res = cheaper but softer reflections.[/]
