YAPYAP No Pixel Filter

A visual cleanup mod for YAPYAP that removes the game’s intentional low-resolution pixelation while preserving fog, lighting, and post-effects. Built with BepInEx, designed to be safe, lightweight, and compatible with the game’s UI and input systems.

Best in-game settings:

Features

• Removes low-resolution pixelation
• Disables the game’s internal LowRes rendering path
• Eliminates chunky pixel blocks caused by low-res render textures
• Keeps fog and atmosphere
• Does not disable Volumes or fog effects
• Preserves the intended visual mood
• UI-safe
• Menus, chat, spell wheel, and interaction overlays continue to work
• Automatic render target upscaling
• Forces low-resolution render textures to match screen resolution
• Prevents blocky upscaling artifacts
• Performance friendly
• No per-frame heavy reflection loops
• Runs on a timed interval (not every frame)
• Minimal allocations and GC pressure**

What This Mod Fixes

• Chunky “pixel grid” look across the world
• Low-resolution rendering (e.g. 960×540 upscaled to fullscreen)
• Pixelated ground, foliage, and geometry at normal viewing distances

What This Mod Does Not Do

• Does not sharpen textures or change art style
• Does not remove fog or lighting effects
• Does not modify gameplay or balance

Installation

• Install BepInEx 5.x for YAPYAP

• Copy the compiled .dll into: YAPYAP/BepInEx/plugins/

• Launch the game

    - No configuration file is required.
  

How It Works (Technical Overview)

• Detects URP (Universal Render Pipeline) at runtime

• Identifies the LowResRendererFeature responsible for low-resolution rendering

• Disables that feature only

• Detects cameras rendering into low-resolution RenderTextures

• Resizes those render targets to full screen resolution

• Leaves the rest of the rendering pipeline untouched

• This avoids breaking:

     - Menus
  
     - Chat
  
     - Spell selection wheel
  
     - UI interaction layers
  

Compatibility

• Unity version: 6000.x (tested)
  • Render Pipeline: URP
  • Compatible with:
  • Fog / Haze effects
  • Post-processing (except intentional pixelation)
  • Other visual mods (as long as they don’t rely on LowRes rendering)

Known Behavior

• The mod reapplies changes periodically because the game may recreate render features or render textures at runtime
• If the game updates and renames the low-res feature, the mod may need a small update

Performance Impact

    - Negligible.

• No per-frame scanning
• No dynamic allocations in hot paths
• Runs once per second initially, then slows down automatically
