dC ULTRA SHARP ReShade
Effective ReShade Settings

This mod aims to sharpen up the graphics of the game, and also adjust the colors to make them more vibrant. In the daytime, the game pops with this mod enabled, but at night is where it really shines, as it makes visibility much better.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an early frontrunner to win Game of the Year in 2025. Here’s what makes the game so great.
The mod changes the volume of particles that emitters give out, and also reconfigures the way that they behave to make them look more natural. Looking at a smoking fire now looks much more realistic, for example. The performance overhead is minimal as well, meaning that a high-end gaming rig is not the only system that can handle this mod.

Detailed Everyday Objects
Higher Detail Textures
Many objects have been touched up by this mod, making them look much more realistic. In some areas, the difference is significant, such as in a campsite or marketplaces. Household items, camping equipment, clothing materials, and textiles, as well as everything related to reading and writing, have been changed. There is, however, likely a minor performance impact, especially for players who have limited VRAM, so bear this in mind.

Low Resolution Texture Mode
Great For Players With Limited VRAM
This mod for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is almost the opposite of the previous entry. It lowers the resolution of many textures in the game, with only a minor loss in visual quality. The idea with the Low Resolution Texture Mode mod is to greatly reduce the amount of VRAM the game uses.
The mod author states that the game will require up to 3.5GB of VRAM in low to medium graphic settings. This is quite a reduction, as the game would usually use around 6GB of VRAM. Overall, this is a great mod for people that want to play the game on lower-spec hardware.

Realistic Helmet Vision
Changes Field Of View And Visibility
One of the main complaints that players have about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is how poor Henry’s vision is when wearing certain helmets. The game restricts vision when wearing a helmet, which can be somewhat annoying at times.

Players who enjoy using shields to cover their defense will find no better options than those listed below in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Rather than removing restricted vision for weaning a helmet, the Realistic Helmet Vision mod fixes some of the problems with the vanilla game by softening the edges and blurring them when players are looking out through a helmet. The depth of field has also been tweaked, and the viewport has been moved closer to the helmet. This mod takes top place, simply because it fixes one of the major gripes that some players have with the game.
