This mod enhances Red Dead Redemption with a custom Vulkan wrapper to optimize game performance and address specific graphical issues. Players will experience a smoother gameplay experience with reduced stuttering, particularly on lower-end systems. Additionally, this mod fixes the notorious cactus imposter distance bug that happens only on some AMD dedicated video cards and integrated graphics, allowing vegetation and distant objects to render more accurately as intended.
Notes: The game won't stutter since it preload the shaders at the beginning. Intel graphics card are unsupported. (Some of them may work) Invisible NPCs, textures, fragments etc. they tend to happen only on intel GPUs. The file dxvk.conf is obsolete. The video memory doesn't show properly.
Installation: Drag and drop all the dll and the VKD3D_CONFIG file in your game directory.
