Patches

A title update is available. The game should automatically prompt for the update when using a LIVE profile; the update can also be downloaded manually (extract the contents and run setup.exe).[5]

Instructions[citation needed]
  1. Download DR2Hookary.
  2. Place DR2Hookary.asi and DR2Hookary.ini into <path-to-game>.
  3. Download the 32-bit version of Ultimate ASI Loader.
  4. Place dinput8.dll into <path-to-game>.
  5. Open DR2Hookary.ini and set the options to the desired ones and save the file.
  6. Start up the game and the changes should now be in effect.

Field of view (FOV)

Use Gibbed.DeadRising2.Tools[7][8]
  1. Download Gibbed.DeadRising2.Tools and extract it somewhere.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\data\.
  3. Drag datafile.big and place it onto Gibbed.DeadRising2.Unpack.exe.
  4. When it's finished unpacking, open datafile_big that was created inside data.
  5. Open camera.txt with Notepad, and click Edit → Replace.
  6. Type FOV = "43" in the Find, and FOV = "63" in the Replace (change 63 to desired FOV) and click Replace All.
  7. Some other cameras use FOV = "45" which can also be replaced, such as in the cVehicleBehaviorCam PushableCam section.
  8. Save the file.
  9. Drag datafile_big and place it onto Gibbed.DeadRising2.Pack.exe. This will create a new file called datafile_big.big.
  10. Backup the original datafile.big by renaming it to something else.
  11. Rename datafile_big.big to datafile.big.

Notes

Vehicles have a modifier that decreases FOV by -7 when moving at full speed. Changing this to 0 in each entry will stabilize the FOV.
