What About Mods?

Most mods (including the popular First Person FOV Fix and Maid Dimitrescu) work flawlessly under DX11. However, mods that rely on Reshade Ray Tracing or specific DX12 hooks may break. When in doubt, check the mod’s NexusMods page for "DX11 compatible" tags. Unlike its predecessors ( Resident Evil 2 ,

• No Ray Tracing: This is obvious. DX11 cannot handle hardware-accelerated ray tracing on Lady Dimitrescu’s mirrors or the swamp reflections. If you own an RTX 2060 or better, stick with DX12.
• Variable Rate Shading (VRS) Disabled: VRS helped performance on Xbox and RTX cards. Without it, you lose ~5-8% potential efficiency on high-end GPUs.
• No DirectStorage: The mod does not support the GPU decompression API. You will see longer loading screens when entering Castle Dimitrescu or escaping the baby sequence in House Beneviento.
• Mod Conflicts: The popular "Third Person Mod" currently crashes the DX11 launcher. The mod author is working on a fix.
