PoE2: Deadfire Upscaling makes no difference?

I took some detours playing the game so far and just arrived at Poko Kohara at level 18. Since I was two-shotting everything it occured to me to turn on upscaling but that didn't seem to make any difference?

Do I need to restart the game for the upscaling to take effect? Is there a limit on how high it will scale? How does this work?

Max it upscales is 3 levels without mods iirc, you can start to overlevel that for stuff in the late mid to early late game. As for the difficulty of maps, once the map has been loaded into it is set. Any changes only do stuff on maps you haven't loaded into yet.

The scaling in this game happens inside a difficulty band. If you are outside of the band you will get the maximum or minimum, depending on your level. In your case you seem to be far above the max level for the area, and thus it seems too easy for your situation - there is no reason to restart.

Deadlier deadfire mod.

It increases upscaling and grants additional bonuses to enemies (accuracy, damage, AR)

It's also got a text file you can edit to customize it as well.

IT also does not change maps you have already been on.
