Recently, a modder discovered an unfinished path tracing feature hidden within Capcom’s popular action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2. By delving into the game’s files and tinkering with the path tracing mode, the modder was able to bring this stunning visual enhancement to life.
The path tracing mod, available for download on NexusMods, has garnered significant attention for its impressive effects on the game’s lighting and overall graphical fidelity. Tech experts at Digital Foundry have showcased the mod in a detailed video, highlighting the significant improvements it brings to the game. Buildings, characters, and even armor receive a major overhaul, with shadows and lighting effects providing a level of detail that was previously unseen in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
While the path tracing mod enhances the visual appeal of the game, it is not without its drawbacks. As demonstrated by Digital Foundry, certain objects in the game may appear to float in mid-air due to the indirect path tracing lighting technique. Additionally, the mod takes a significant toll on performance, causing frame rates to plummet. While an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 can typically run Dragon’s Dogma 2 at 105 frames per second, this drops to as low as 20FPS with the full version of the mod enabled.
Despite its performance issues, the path tracing mod for Dragon’s Dogma 2 represents a remarkable achievement in the modding community. The visual enhancements it brings to the game are truly impressive, turning an already visually stunning RPG into a masterpiece of lighting and detail. As modders continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in game modification, we can only imagine the future possibilities for enhancing our favorite titles.
