Dead Island 2 is one of the few games that only supported AMD’s upscaling tech, FSR, when it came out. Although the game is powered by Unreal Engine 4, it does not support XeSS or DLSS. Thankfully, though, modder ‘PS2ClassicsVault’ has just released a new mod that replaces AMD FSR with NVIDIA DLSS 3.
Now before continuing, I should make it clear that this mod does not introduce support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Instead, it replaces FSR with DLSS 3 Super Resolution. You can download it from this link.
The good news here is that thanks to this mod, RTX40 owners can enjoy a better image quality with it. After all, even with mods, DLSS is far superior to FSR.
As I wrote in my PC Performance Analysis, the NVIDIA RTX4090 can push over 80fps at all times at Native 4K/Ultra Settings. However, owners of less powerful GPUs can benefit from this mod. So, make sure to download it from here if you own an RTX 4070 or an RTX 4080.
Last week, Deep Silver released Dead Island 2 on Steam. For those wondering, the game still uses the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. And, from what we know, Dambuster Studios has no plans to add official support for DLSS. In short, this mod will be a must for a lot of PC gamers.
Speaking of Frame Generation Mods, you might also want to check these out. For instance, you can download these free DLSS 3 Mods for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Dying Light 2, Elden Ring and Lies of P. Then we have the FSR 3.0 mods for Palworld, The Last of Us Part I and Dead Space Remake. Sadly, these mods are still behind a Patreon wall. Earlier this year, we also shared DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mods for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Dragon’s Dogma 2. And then have the DLSS 3 Mods for Baldur’s Gate 3, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Why put it on steam and think it’s a good idea to force Epic launcher on you…
It does warn you on the page that the game requires an Epic account. For anyone that didn’t see that then just return the game for a refund if you don’t want an Epic account. Valve has no control over what requirements Publishers make. The only choice they have is whether to host the game or not.
Why all those false informations?!
It does not force Epic Launcher, it forces Epic Online services.
It does not force an Epic account UNLESS you want to cross-play with other Epic Store players.
Playing the Steam version in singleplayer or co-op with other Steam players does neither require Epic launcher nor account.
Blaming Epic Store and Launcher is always okay and I’m in, but this is just a huge spread of false information and that really hurts the debate against Epic.
i buy the game from steam but I Have constant EPIC ONLINE SERVICE ERROR and the game close itself !
Return it for a refund. Even if you are over the time limit you’ve got a good reason for a refund anyway if you press the issue with Steam.
Games launching without DLSS these days should be a criminal offense.
A game launching on steam that forces you to use the epic games launcher is an actual crime in comparison to the lack of DLSS
**EDIT** It seems that while signing into epic games or whatever may be optional, apparently they’re still sneakily sending your gameplay session data back to their epic games servers, and the only way to stop it really seems to be by using your firewall to block the traffic. In some ways that seems even worse. =/
That would be a crime, if the game would do that. Luckily, it only uses Epic Online Services (as many Unreal games) and has the Epic Launcher + Epic account only optional if you want to crossplay cooperatively with other Epic Store players.
indeed that is vomit inducing!!!!
