Inject XESS into Resident Evil 4 Remake – Boost performance and visual quality on Intel Arc GPUs

This is a quick one as I finally managed to get this working? I prefer injected XESS 1.1 version over FSR 2.0 in this game but there are some graphical glitches which you probably won’t mind.

Will you be trying XESS in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

The mods that you will need are the following two:

REFramework – https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil42023/mods/12?tab=files

UpscalerBasePlugin – https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/502

XESS 1.0 or XESS 1.1 files which can be obtained via github link below:
https://github.com/intel/xess/releases/tag/v1.1.0

What I suggest is actually obtain XESS 1.0 files from other game that you might have including the dxcompiler.dll and dxil.dll as those are needed otherwise it just won’t work.

Extract all the files into one place on the desktop folder and then copy paste them into the main directory of Resident Evil 4 Remake.

I actually also prepared everything in one zip with XESS 1.1 which you can just extract into the folder and go…

If this is not allowed as I saw Intel removed the XESS links from the UpscalerBasePlugin then you need to follow the above method to obtain the files. Not sure why this is though since the files are open-source but whatever.

Enjoy!
