Enhance Your Experience with the New Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Mod for Better Global Illumination

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Exciting Mod Developments Amid Official Support Promises

Warhorse Studios has recently pledged to deliver official mod support for the much-anticipated Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. In the interim, modding enthusiasts are tirelessly enhancing the original game, which celebrated a remarkable milestone of two million units sold within just two weeks of its launch.

Innovative Mod Enhancements to Global Illumination

One notable contributor from the Nexus community, user nimbul, has introduced a utility mod aimed at correctly loading configuration (CFG) variables post-level loading. This improvement prevents the game from reverting to its default settings. Utilizing this mod, fellow user vktrfly has successfully fine-tuned these variables to significantly enhance global illumination quality, showcasing impressive results in the accompanying screenshots and video clips.

Boosting Indirect Lighting with Configuration Variables

According to vktrfly, players can further optimize indirect lighting by adjusting the following configuration variables:

e_svoTI_DiffuseConeWidth = 4 – Reduces light leakage; the default value is set at 8.
e_svoTI_NumberOfBounces = 2 – This setting has a moderate performance impact with a default of 2 at Ultra settings and above.

The e_svoTI_NumberOfBounces can be elevated to 3 for enhanced effects, but this will noticeably affect performance. Users equipped with the latest GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards may wish to experiment with this option, especially if they are patrons of PureDark, enabling them access to his DLSS Multi Frame Generation mod for the game.

Compatibility Concerns and Upcoming Content Updates

However, mod oversight does exist; the ongoing global illumination mod is incompatible with the previously discussed async compute mod. The developer warns:

If you encounter strobing, flickering, or pulsing lighting effects, they are not caused by this mod. Ensure you are not using AsyncCompute Enabler, and that e_svoTI_AsyncCompute = 1 is absent from your user.cfg. Issues with AsyncCompute will exacerbate any problems with global illumination, making them very apparent.

Looking ahead, Warhorse is currently gearing up to release the game’s inaugural free content update this Spring. This update will introduce barbers for customizing Henry’s appearance, horse racing, and a dedicated Hardcore mode. Furthermore, players can anticipate the launch of three premium DLCs later this year.
