Modder ‘mstewart401’ has released a new version of his RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod for the first Unreal that adds support for the Return to Na Pali expansion. As such, you can now experience both the main game and the expansion pack with real-time path tracing.
Created by mstewart401, this mod adds real-time Path Tracing to the classic Unreal game. It includes fully ray-traced lighting, dynamic shadows, and amazing emisive effects. It also adds PBR materials. As such, surfaces will now react to light more realistically with better metals, roughness, and depth. Some world objects and props have also been replaced to make the game look even more detailed and modern.
What’s also great here is that you don’t even have to buy the game. Since Epic made Unreal freeware, you can simply download it from GitHub. Then, you can apply the mod, and you will be good to go. Without paying a single dollar, you can enjoy a modern remaster of this classic Unreal game.
You can download the full game from this link. Then, you have to download and install the Unreal 227k_12 Patch from this link. Finally, you can download and install the RTX Remix Mod from here.
Owners of the NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs were constantly crashing with the previous version of Unreal RTX Remix. You can see those crashes in my video at the end of the article. So, I’m not sure whether the modder has fixed those crashes. I’m downloading it right now, and I will report back with my findings.
These past few months, we’ve shared a lot of RTX Remix Mods. So, you can find mods for Black Mesa, Star Wars Republic Commando, NFS: Underground, and Manhunt. You can also find some for BioShock, Morrowind, NFS: Underground 2, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, Max Payne, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
In January 2024, we shared several RTX Remix Mods that are in the works. As such, you can take a look at screenshots and videos for Tomb Raider 2, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Garfield Kart RTX Remix. Then, in February 2024, we shared videos for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4, and Midnight Club 2. Be sure to also check out some early RTX Remix videos and screenshots for Fallout: New Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, COD 2, and Half-Life.
Speaking of Path Tracing Mods for older titles, you might also want to check out the following ones. Modders released demos for their Path Tracing Mods for Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, and Call of Duty 4. Do note that the COD4 Mod is a “proof of concept” demo, and it does not look that great. Let’s also not forget the RTX Remix for COD: WoW. And then we have the RTX Remix Mods for Painkiller and Left 4 Dead 2. Oh, and don’t forget to try this RTX Remix for Unreal Tournament 2004. Lastly, you can download these amazing Path Tracing Mods for Doom, Doom 2, Quake, and Serious Sam.
Have fun!
