This client modification is specifically made for nvidia's rtx-remix.
How does a shader based game work with remix? By manually reimplementing fixed function rendering :)
WIP & Please Note:
RTX Remix was never intented to support this game so expect stuff to be broken.
This is not trying to be a remaster. It simply makes the game compatible with RTX Remix.
Please keep that in mind.

Let me get this straight again: This is not a remaster.
The compatibility mod itself does not enhance any assets and only handles a few lights and as such, might even look worse than the original game. This will however change when community made mods with proper enhanced assets and proper lighting get available.
There is a base-remix-mod that I have created that remixes things on a few maps (eg. water, a few lights) but it's really limited.
You'll encounter some of the following:
- Ugly looking water surfaces
- Rubbery looking textures
- Missing sunlight
- Very dark areas
- Missing (black) skybox (you need to assign the Sky category to skybox textures via remix in-game settings)
- The renderer is forced to run single threaded (currently required)
- Alpha tested foliage kills performance. This might improve with future updates to rtx-remix itself or when community mods with proper assets are available
- Skinning of meshes (animated meshes) is done via software (on the CPU) resulting in CPU bottlenecks
- Some effects look incorrect because of the limitations of fixed-function, other issues or they are simply not yet handled correctly.
- See the Wiki for in-depth guides on features that come with the compatibility mod 馃崜
- Current releases ship with a custom build of the remix-dxvk runtime which includes necessary changes for L4D2 (
bin/.trex/d3d9.dll)
