What does Dark Souls Re-Remastered mod do?
1. Adds dynamic shadows to every map. Most DS1 shadows were baked, but this mod adds dynamic ones which are far more accurate and include waaaay more objects too
2. Restores PTDE lighting to every map
3. Upscales almost every texture, most of which are ported from PTDE
4. Generates new normal maps for most surfaces
5. Upscales armor/weapon textures, most of which are ported from PTDE
6. Adds parallax occlusion mapping to more surfaces (wip)
7. Better water reflections
8. Better distant geometry. Replaces the fake distant mappieces and uses the actual mappieces
9. Blighttown visible from Firelink Shrine. Moonlight Butterfly Castle visible from Undead Burg
10. More grass added in Undead Burg, Firelink Shrine, and more
11. Fixes mesh holes, texture bugs, and other visual problems the unmodded game has had since 2011.
12. Adjusts the Depth of Field effect so it's closer to how PTDE used it
13. Shadows are now higher resolution, thanks to DSR Shader Overhaul being built into the mod
14. Better AO on the player lantern, due to DSR Shader Overhaul

Can you play online? I don't think you should! (do it at your own risk)
I'd say no. The mod has grown in scope sooooo much since I started it. I'm modifying map files, model files, texture files, etc. I play online, but I've had a data fraud warning for months, prior to even starting modding. So, I still see phantoms, bloodstains, etc. I've been playing with the mod installed for hundreds of hours and I've never been fully banned or anything. We don't fully know what will trigger a ban. So, I just want to be fully upfront that you play online at your own risk. More than likely, I think it'll cause issues. If you do choose to play online, I'd recommend against summoning players or invading, as this is the most likely to cause issues I think.
Installation (updated for 1.21):
1. Make sure your Dark Souls Remastered game is installed in C://Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Dark Souls Remastered/
2. Download the main file if you're installing DSRR for the first time (skip if you're installing the latest patch)
3. Unpack the rar file using WinRAR or any unzipping program
4. Copy every folder inside the downloaded folder to your Dark Souls Remastered game folder where the exe file is.
Overwrite when asked.
5. Then, download Stayd's excellent DS-R Materials Update (skip if you're just installing a patch)
6. Copy it to your Dark Souls Remastered folder and overwrite when asked.
***IMPORTANT***
Then you run the game using a bat file located here: Dark Souls Remastered/ModEngine2/launchmod_darksoulsremastered.bat
OPTIONAL ADD ON: I've also included a reshade preset you can download and put in your DSR game folder. Add raytraced global illumination to DSRR. Reshade can be downloaded here: https://reshade.me/#download (during the install you can choose my preset). Then make sure your Global Preprocessor Settings have "DEPTH IS REVERSED" set to 0.
Installation on Steam Deck:
This post should help set it up correctly! Thanks BitRaitSec! https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/790?tab=posts
Known Issues:
Biggest one is sometimes depending on which route you take, Blighttown can look super weird and overly dark. If that happens, quit out, and load back in. Should be back to normal then. Strange bug I'm trying to track down.
Now that the mod is powered by DSR Shader Overhaul, it doesn't like downsampling. Which means things will look weird if you're playing the game at 4K and downsampling it to your 1440P monitor, for example. It likes if you play at the resolution of your monitor is set at.
Uninstallation:
Delete the folders inside your Dark Souls Remastered game folder. Verify local files with Steam. Boom, done. Your saves aren't effected.
