The mods featured in this guide were manually tested by our team on a high-end PC rig (RTX 4090, 64GB RAM) running the latest R-Type Tactics I-II Cosmos<\/a> patch. Because this game runs on Unreal Engine 5, we have strictly verified that these .pak files are currently functional and compatible with each other. Always remember to back up your original save files located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\\RTypeCosmos\\Saved\\SaveGames\\ before altering your core game directory.<\/p>\n
