I can't understand why the developers are so obsessed with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rain effects.

KCD has the worst rain effects in AAA games I've seen in recent years, if you played KCD 1 before, you'd know what it feels like when you're on Nighthawk potion at a rainy knight. I totally understand that the main reason of this awful rain effects is subject to performance optimization, and considering Warhorse was a very small studio back in 2018 when KCD 1 released. But in 2025, not only they did not improve the rain effects a single bit, they have also increased the frequency of raining a lot, now after the 1.2 patch, they've turned down the brightness quite a lot, forests in night looks dark as hell even with the strongest Nighthawk potion, combining with blinding rain drops, I'd say the good old days of KCD 1 are coming back with enhanced eye raping effects +50%

Thank any and all higher powers that KCD2 is not in Unreal Engine 5. UE5 offers pretty visuals but is absolutely not suitable for large open world games. I have yet to see any open world game that would work well in EU5 engine. This is in addition to known issues with UE engine in general such as common traversal stutter.

First of all, why are you thinking that the next game of the franchise would be FPV RPG in an open world? If the next game would be happening in Vienna, where Jindro would rescue Vaclav - CryEngine would fit much better than for KCD2 - no mass battles, duels at max, stealth (which already was polished in KCD2) and other non-epic gameplay would be involved.
If the game will be about Zhizhka, Kobyla, Dry Devil, Jan Sokol, and Jindřich ze Skalice fighting against Rozhemberks in Moravia in 1409-1410 - the game shouldn't be FPV RPG in the open world anymore. CrapEngine cannot work with mass battles - Prbslavirsa, Vranik, and Talmberk are perfect examples. And in KCD2 "mass battles" are combated 5x5 on the small segment of the wall.

The second point of using the EU5 is nanites - the games about Moravian events or Hussite wars require mass battles and more "Bannerlord"-style gameplay. Only EU5 could provide it and crossover it with awesome Warhorse side-quests. And some KCD1-style awesome main quests.

Cry Engine was familiar grounds for Warhorse and it saved them most likely a lot of time just upgrading its assets rather than moving the sequel to new engine. The only truly outdated part of the engine is its rain, which is poor at best, ugly at most of the times and there are situations where it outright break immersion.

CryEngine is a crap. Not because graphical part, but because of the technical. Vavra clearly stated that he's not interested in making the same games again and again. Hence by most chance, we would never see a solo-style FPV RPG about Jindřich again (at least Deep Silver would talk him into the Vienna game). CrapEngine couldn't provide party gameplay, mass battles, and other stuff needed for Jindro's story development, hence it should hit the road to the dustbin of history.

Could you show us on this doll where Vavra touched you?

I'm sorry, but you left no option except to block you. Have a nice day.

Thank you. I will block you as well. I hear enough ranting around the house as it is. Good day!

Sorry to hear that, but now I'm understanding better why you're such a rude, ill-behaved person. Hope everything will become better in your life.

I have a problem when it rains: the light reflecting off the ground, objects, and buildings starts to flicker. I don't know if it's light, shadows, or ambient occlusion, but it starts flickering like crazy.
