| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Upscaled road surfaces, buildings, decals, and UI elements (2x–4x original resolution). | | Shader Recompilation | Custom shaders for dynamic reflections, improved wet road surfaces, and realistic lighting via Reshade integration (optional but recommended). | | Draw Distance | Increased LOD (level of detail) distance, reducing pop-in for traffic and world objects. | | Particle Effects | Enhanced nitrous flames, tire smoke, brake sparks, and water droplets. | | Car Paint & Materials | Realistic specular maps, metallic flakes, and carbon fiber materials. |

Using a modified version of the Reshade framework baked directly into the launcher, Redux introduces ambient occlusion and fake global illumination. Streetlights actually cast shadows. The neon underglow reflects realistically on wet asphalt during the new rain cycles.

The most controversial change in the Redux mod (specifically version 3.5 and higher) is the handling revision.
