The all-in-one performance and visual enhancement pack for Resident Evil Requiem – whether you're on a low-end laptop or a high-end gaming rig, there's a preset for you. One-click installer for Engine.ini tweaks, ReShade presets, and HDR fixes.
This repository is for educational purposes only. All tweaks are visual and performance optimizations that do not affect gameplay balance. Use at your own risk.
Resident Evil Requiem is gorgeous, but it's also demanding. Even on recommended hardware, you might experience stutters or low FPS in heavy areas. And if you have an HDR monitor, you've probably noticed the colors look washed out.
This pack solves everything:
✅ Performance tweaks – Boost FPS by 20-60% depending on your hardware
✅ Quality presets – Choose from Performance, Balanced, or Quality modes
✅ HDR fix – Proper tonemapping and gamma for correct HDR
✅ ReShade presets – Enhanced clarity, contrast, and color
✅ One-click installer – No manual file editing required
Password-protected archive with all presets and the auto-installer.
