Graphical Tweaks
Unreal Engine DirectX 11 Renderer
- A fork of Kentie's Direct3D 10 renderer that adds more graphical features.
- Might cause some bugs and slow rendering.
- Run games at HD resolution.
- Improved lighting.
- Adds ambient occlusion, screen space reflections and higher quality HDR post-processing.
- Places a watermark in the bottom right, and overrides the clipboard with a link to the developer's PayPal. Follow these instructions to disable the watermark and remove the PayPal link from being inserted into the clipboard.

|
DirectX 9 renderer for Stock HP2
- A port of the Unreal Tournament DX9 driver, with fixes and HP2 specific implementations.
- Fully compatible with modern systems.
- Supports HD resolutions, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, frame rate cap, v-sync, high res textures, DXT textures, and more.
- Better performance than the DX11 renderer.
