About this mod
Improves framerate. Reduces stutter & hitching. Improves loading times. Reduces input latency. Denoises Unreal Engine effects
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Disclaimers
- This mod was formerly known as "SH2 Essentials - FPS Boost and Graphics Enhancer"
- May degrade the graphics in SOME cutscenes, but that's it. Otherwise Ultra Quality looks just as good or better than the base game.
- People reported seeing color banding on fog. This is not a result of the mod, the base games post-processing just hides the issue (especially Chromatic Abberation).
Donations
Everything I make is free & always will be, but purchasing hardware, tools & games for testing means I lose money to deliver my
