PC can’t quite match Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s needs? Try these low graphics mods

The power of PC gaming means you can experience the eye-melting crispness of some of the most advanced graphics around. If you have the juice for it, natch. With something like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you don’t necessarily need a monster rig, but you may still want an enhanced performance.

Say you want to run Warhorse Studios’ new game through Steam, but you’re not confident in your PC’s hardware capabilities, well this is where modding comes to the rescue. Thanks to Nexus Mods user Jindra1403, you can reduce the visuals in Deliverance 2 beyond what the vanilla release ideally wants.

This comes in two flavors: Very Low and Ultra Low, both of which do exactly what you’d expect. The former will allow you to “run the game at acceptable frame rates on systems with much lower specifications than those minimal required by the game.”

Who needs textures, anyway?

If, however, you need to be doubly sure Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will run smoothly, the latter reduces graphical fidelity even more. The images show what can only be described as a “smooth” character, one devoid of any detail. But, crucially, it will allow you to run the game on lower-spec systems.

Also, the overall resolution for both mods has been “brute forced to HD (1280×720),” with V-Sync turned off for Ultra Low settings. You can change this in Notepad if you wish. It’s also worth noting that neither of these mods will “interfere with or change DLSS/FSR settings,” though Jindra1403 suggests leaving them off. You may also encounter a couple of issues, given that these settings take the game below expectations in terms of visuals.

According to Steam, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn’t require anything too beastly if you just want to run it at minimum requirements. It’s only once you’re aiming for recommended settings that we start to see words like “RTX 4070” crop up.
