Modder ‘R3MIND_OFFICIAL’ has crafted a unique method enabling PC users to integrate Ray Tracing into Palworld, significantly enhancing the game’s visual dynamics. By simply adjusting specific settings in the game’s configuration file or by downloading a specially modified config file, players can unlock these improved graphics. R3MIND_OFFICIAL has showcased the impact of this tweak through comparison screenshots, revealing notably enhanced reflections and ambient occlusion, courtesy of the ray-traced effects.
It’s essential to understand that this tweak introduces only partial Ray Tracing effects. As such, it doesn’t deliver the complete spectrum of Ray Tracing capabilities, and players might notice some minor visual irregularities due to the lack of native Ray Tracing support in Palworld. However, for those with advanced GPUs, this modification could significantly enhance their gaming experience.
In addition to Ray Tracing, this mod amplifies the quality of Global Illumination and PostFX effects and ensures the game runs on the DX12 API, elevating the overall visual quality.
