About this mod
Vanilla+ Reshade preset with correctly blended effects via REST addon, inspired by the visuals of the Dead Space 2023 remake while complimenting the existing visuals of Dead Space 2.
Includes Ambient Occlusion, RT lighting, Screenspace reflections (with roughness modelled), high quality bloom and camera effects through free high quality shader

Information:
This preset aims to enhance the underlying visuals of Dead Space 2 whilst being inspired by the 2023 remake for the original game. Unlike most Reshade presets, this comes included with compatibility for the REST addon (ReshadeEffectShaderToggler) which allows for effects such as ambient occlusion to be correctly blended into the scene behind fog, UI and particles leaving you with a high fidelity experience.
Customisation is available by pressing the HOME key. Turn antialiasing ingame setting off for best results.
Bloom blur, intensity and chromatic aberration are encouraged to be tuned to the user's liking.
This preset comes pre-packaged due to its relativity complex setup so that it can be installed simply. A "DGVoodoo 2" wrapper translates DX9 into DX11 in a borderless window where Reshade is then injected and the REST addon injects shaders at the correct place in the rendering pipeline for accurate effects blending.
Performance:
I've tried to keep this preset's performance quite high but the addition of screenspace reflections and lighting can have it's impact. If you're struggling for performance consider these options:

Performance:
I've tried to keep this preset's performance quite high but the addition of screenspace reflections and lighting can have it's impact. If you're struggling for performance consider these options:
- Disable "Scatter" shaders and "quint_SSR."
These effects are responsible for enhanced reflections with roughness detail modelled but come with a moderately large performance penalty. Disabling these should give you back some frames while the "DH_UBER_RT" shader acts to produce reflections alone with it's own roughness model. You may also have to tune the intensity of these reflections down manually. - Disable "Scatter" shaders, "quint_SSR" and toggle off the "Enable SSR" checkbox in "DH_UBER_RT"
Comes with the removal of all reflection effects while preserving the RT lighting and shadows. Obviously a visual downgrade but the preset still holds up quite well with RT lighting. - Disable "Scatter" shaders, "quint_SSR" and "DH_UBER_RT"
Disable reflection and RT lighting entirely. This will net you the most performance with the most visual downgrade. The preset now entirely relies on MXAO shadows, bloom and chromatic aberration.
