Mafia 2 DE Redone graphics mod V0.9 RELEASED 2025

Mafia 2 DE Redone Graphics mod V0.9 (2025) Released

CURRENT STATE:
FIRST OF ALL!!!!!
This mod Package is ready to release if you dont mind those known issues!!!

I like to move to a new projects like RDR1 PC, so this is not my full focus right now. Also this game engine has bad mod support, and I have no motivation to write new mod tools in C++ or Python or any other code language!!

When Mod Pack is Released, send bug reports only in nexus mods. I will ignore or delete every bug report on steam. ONLY use nexus mods, the website confirms that there are genuine reports.

TEASERS (IMAGES CAPTURED FROM 2560X1440 MAX SETTINGS)


KNOWN ISSUES AND INFO: I Played the main story 3 times and these are my founds
UPDATED IN 15.01.2025 EUROPE TIME

• DO NOT START NEW GAME WITH FREERUN MOD. ONLY USE IT AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE GAME/STORY. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I WILL NOT INCLUDE THE MOD IN THIS PACKAGE. YOU HAVE TO INSTALL IT MANUALLY AFTER YOU COMPLETE MAIN STORY
  
  
• Snow and some white surfaces can be too bright in winter. This should now be fixed. I tested non HDR And HDR 400, not above. Send bug report in nexus mods if you have problems (When Relesed)
  
  
• Shadows flickering or ground textures appear black. This can be fixed by setting in-game shadow quaility to medium or lower.
  
  
• Steam overlay is too laggy. Make sure you only have reshade and steam overlay, or
  nvidia/radeon
  at same time, nothing else. If you use overwolf for other games, it will cause screen flickering.
  Too many overlays is not good and will be a problem.
  
• vitos facial animations and sounds not working (home sweeth home)
  
  
• After sleeping from diamond store robbery, the girl is black and missing textures. (This bug is from a lore friendly nude mods, and I contacted the original mod author with no response. So I cannot fix it without original source material).
  
  
• There is bug in the main vanilla game that flickers some props and smokes not caused by this
  mod pack!!! (STILL NOT FIXED BY DEVS)
  
  
• Vito's head/hair is deformed in cutscenes. This is rare bug that is in vanilla game. I researched old footage, and the bug is still there, but its rare. Somehow this mod package triggers it more often.
  
  
• Fixing Cloth Physics: (THERE IS A BUG THAT MAKES CLOTHES FLICKER OR GLUED TO
  CHARACTERS, NOT CAUSED BY THIS MOD PACK)
  Make a backup of Cloth folder and delete it. Default Location (C:\Program Files
  (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II Definitive Edition\EDIT\APEX)
  
  
• There is two main menu videos but they will change when you reach certain chapters (winter
  and summer) selected by the game.

Send bug reports only in nexus mods. I will ignore every bug report on steam to avoid spam because nexus mod verifies content

[cOdy_The_HUN]

It has some errors like wrongly placed texture with error. You can see the steam from the sewer comes from another place:
