WHAT’S RE-VAMPED?

Re-vamped is a plug&play patch (i.e. just one DLL, no extra fiddling required) aimed at fixing several problems with the Steam and GOG digital releases of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2.

FEATURES

  • Integrates D3D8to9 for better support of recent graphics cards;
  • Fixes random audio crashes caused by FMOD and illegal memory access during loading transitions;
  • Fixes issues with mouse freely roaming away from the game’s window;
  • Enables the game to run in windowed mode (becomes borderless windowed if you pick the same resolution as your desktop) and adds various framerates speeds (30, 60, 120 fps) , with dedicated options in game;
  • Replaces the broken hardware FSAA (Full Scene Anti Aliasing) with a more modern SMAA (Subpixel Morphological Anti Aliasing) usable in 32 bit modes;
  • Fixes motion blur to work while Anti Aliasing is enabled, improves the general quality of the effect, and adds an option in game to toggle it;
  • Implements hardware gamma adjustments via shaders, making the gamma settings functional in windowed mode;
  • Replaces DirectInput7 with DirectInput8 and XInput, allowing most controllers to be detectable and with all buttons functioning;
  • Reworks the BINK player to run at the current resolution and centers the video accordingly;
  • Adds adaptive widescreen support based on your current resolution.
