A Complete RT mod rebuilds the light through ReSTIR GI

While Pearl Abyss patches Crimson Desert, modder MassiHancer showed a combination of Complete RT and ReSTIR GI. It rebuilds the lighting: more complex global light, a different depth of field and ambient occlusion.

In the original, some scenes are flat because the light is simplified. After the mod the shadows are deeper, especially in open parts of Pywel. Next to that is a new color grade and different vegetation. The author says the image then sits closer to current realistic RPGs.

The files are on the author’s Patreon and Ko-fi pages. Without the mod the game remains the same open RPG and keeps receiving official updates.
