REFramework
REFramework is praydog's third-party framework for RE Engine games, including Dragon's Dogma 2. The normal non-VR installation adds dinput8.dll beside the game's executable. Back up saves and test the framework alone before adding scripts.
Install the non-VR framework
- Close the game and back up the Steam remote save folder.
- Download the Dragon's Dogma 2 build from praydog's official releases. Use a nightly only when its release notes or the mod author require it.
- In Steam, select Manage > Browse local files to find the folder containing the game executable.
- For the normal non-VR install, extract only dinput8.dll from the appropriate archive into that folder. Do not overwrite another mod's DLL without identifying it.
- Launch once with no added scripts or plugins and check that the framework loads. The usual menu hotkey is Insert; use the release's instructions if its binding differs.
- Install Lua scripts into reframework/autorun and native plugins into reframework/plugins only when the individual mod instructs it, then test one addition at a time.
- On Proton, the project's README specifies WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command% in Steam launch options. This is a compatibility-layer instruction, not native Linux support.
Remove it
Close the game. Move the dinput8.dll you installed out of the game folder to disable the loader. Preserve the reframework folder elsewhere before removing it, since it may contain scripts, plugin data and mod-created saves. Remove the Proton launch override if it was added solely for this framework, then test a normal launch.
Do not delete unrelated DLLs or assume Steam verification removes extra mod files. DD2gether has its own launcher switch and saves; follow that author's removal flow instead of deleting its data folder.
What it is used for here
The author lists free camera, field-of-view tools, a Lua scripting API and native plugins. These are mod features, not official CAPCOM graphics settings. The README's general VR support is not a claim that every DD2 VR configuration is tested.
Questions
How do I remove REFramework?
Close the game and move the installed dinput8.dll out first. Preserve reframework data before removing anything else; some mods store data or saves there.
Does Capcom include this?
No. It is a third-party framework. The official graphics options are on the performance page.
