Description
The goal of this collection is to provide the vanilla Left 4 Dead 2 experience alongside updated textures, QOL features, and visual fixes.

If you're looking for only the (in my opinion) essential Left 4 Dead 2 mods, check out my other collection:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2927587011

List of featured mods:
  • Upscaled Vanilla 4K Texture Mods
  • Upscaled Loading Screens & Other Menu Textures
  • UI Mods (New Menu UI, In-Game HUD, Sounds)
  • New Post-Processing Effects & Particles
  • Prop Fixes
  • Other Quality Of Life mods
Incompatibilities:
  • HD 4K Real Blood and HD 2K Real Blood are incompatible - choose one or the other.
  • +Ultra Particle: Gore & its Xtended counterpart are incompatible - choose one or the other.
  • Weapons 4k / Full HD and its Items counterpart are compatible - ignore in-game conflict warning.
  • Weapons (inc. Melee) & Items 4k / Full HD is incompatible with its counterparts - either subscribe to the complete mod or its separate versions.
Apart from that, all mods listed in this collection are compatible and will work properly.

Technical Info:

My PC Specs:
  • RTX 3060ti
  • Ryzen 5 5600X
  • Dual Channel 32GB of memory at 3600MHz
  • SSDs for storage

Testing:
  • 1080p Max Settings, uncapped FPS with Vsync disabled
  • Played Port Survival as it seems to be the most demanding map with the largest hordes; perfect for testing framerate.
  • 2.5GB max VRAM and RAM usage. Only around 2GB on other maps.
  • Lowest FPS was 150. On other levels, FPS was averaging 275+ with some drops to or below 250.
  • Noticed some stuttering on Port, but other maps seem to be fine. Unsure what the bottleneck is.
With a 144hz monitor, and considering the fact that I usually play with Vsync enabled, this pack performs perfectly fine.
