Amazing! I have a system close to yours:

Intel core 2 quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
4 GB Corsair Memory
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
GeForce 9800 GT 512mb

So with any luck I should be able to run it with no problem.

New question, which version of Tali is in the optimized pack and if its the normal version, can I just put the visible face version in over it and let it overlap, or will they conflict?

wow looks great, will give it a try!

one question:
i saw that there is an optimized version of Kasumi, is there an "ultra" version for kasumi, too? seems like there is no link on the first page (or did i miss it?).

I'm seeing a lot of ME2 based replacements, but aside from the few for ME1, are those the only ones available for the first game? If there are some HD textures for ME1, that'd be great, as I'm playing through a fourth run through and would like to see it improved when it finally hits ME2.

well done good sir.

[Darman]

Hey guys, has anyone troubles with the texmod? I always used it, no I didn't play ME2 for half a year, want to play again to introduce ME3, and now - Texmod crashes. All the time. Redownloaded. "Texmod.exe doesn't work anymore". Any Idea? Tried different kompatability modes and ran as admin. No success.

[PSUHammer]

I just downloaded it and tried it for the first time with his Ultra textures. It worked fine...although took 5 minutes to load.

[Darman]

Sorry, I just found out that my virus protection is the reason. Anyway, great Mod XD

[LostHero2k9]

hmm is it possible, that one or more of the .tpf files is damaged/corrupted?
because when i launch ME2 via texmod with just 1 or 2 mods enabled, it works fine. when i enable all of them (all the ultra textures + the additional outfits) the game hangs up on start no matter how long i wait.
even after 30 minutes i am still not on the main menu...

i have a very potent rig here, so that cant be the issue
(4x3,4 ghz, 16gb ram, SSD, HD5850)


@Darman:
yeah my AV also blocks the created temp files from texmod because of a "backdoor alert". had to turn it of, but that didnt fix my problem

@losthero: I fixed it by setting up an exeption. Under Avast you'll have to go to the user interface - behaviour protection (I don't know what's this point in english so I directly translated it, no idea if this is correct, anyway, it's the last module in the list of avasts protection programs), then go to "advanced settings" and add an exeption under "reliable programs" (or anything like this).

According to the long loading time I can just say your computer must be very bad. Actually it isn't, when I take a look on the data you posted. Strange. It takes about 5 min. for me but 30 min?? Thats quite a lot. Maybe there's a way to handle this, so, if anyone has got a solution for the long startup times, please let us know!

My computer is actually quite good (i7 870, 8GB ram, GTX 560 Ti, Win7 home premium 64bit) but the loading time is annoying.

EDIT: maybe you should try the optimeized pack instead of the ultras. The quality is still overwhelming and its starting up much faster.

[LostHero2k9]

you missunderstood me.
the problem is not, that i have 30 min loading times and than it works, the problem is, that after 30 minutes still nothing happens (black screen with rotating cursor).

thats why i assume that one or more of the tpf files might be corrupted because when i select just one or two of them, the game launches "instant".
and about that AV thing: yes i know about those exceptions (using COMODO Internet Security) that is NOT the cause of my problem described above.

what is kind of interesting is that i dont really understand WHY the texmod leads to such an dramatic increase of loading times. while launching the game via texmod with just 2 oder 3 mods enabled, i monitored CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM usage, as well as swap/page file.
if the loading times are caused by the hugh filesize which have to be loaded into memory, the used RAM and/or VRAM should increase while the game loads.

but when i try to launch the game with all ultra textures at the same time (and my 30 min black screen thingy occurs) neither the RAM nor the VRAM used increases. it keeps at around 70mb.
so this indicates to me, that the game isnt loading anything at all and it is really stuck on the black screen.

am i wrong?

what i understood so far about texmod is that it monitors textures loaded from the DX9 API and than identifies their RAM adresses in order to overwrite them with the modded textures.
this explains in some way why it takes *some* time but not why it takes THAT MUCH time (and in my case doesnt even work at all).

looks like i will have to launch the game 100 times in a row and increase the number of texturepacks one by one until i find the "bad" one...


€dit:
here is the list of mods i would like to use at the same time (resulting in the described endless game launch time):

DefaultShep_Face.tpf
Garrus_Revised.tpf
Grund_Final.tpf
Jack_final.tpf
Jacob_Revised.tpf
Kasumi_Optimized.tpf
Legion_Final.tpf
LiaraLOTSB.tpf
Miranda_Final.tpf
MirandaAAP.tpf
Mordin_Final.tpf
N7Armor_Female.tpf
N7Armor_Male.tpf
NormandyUniforms.tpf
Samara_Final.tpf
Shepard_CerberusCasual.tpf
Shepard_Formal.tpf
ShepardKestralArmor.tf
Tali_Final_defaultface.tpf
Thane_Final.tpf
Zaeed_Final.tpf

Anyone out there who is able to launch the game with all these enabled at the same time?
When i use just the first 2 of the list, the game launches instantly (no time to test them one by one at the moment...)

Hey folks! Sorry for the lack of responses; I've been busy the last couple of days. Also, major thanks to those of you who aided others during my absence!

As a bit of an update, here's a screenshot of a revised Sheploo. As you can see, the hair is no longer shiny, the seams are gone, and the face has more of a subtle sheen to it. I will definitely have a release for this tonight.

If you are still getting a rotating cursor then it's still loading, dude. 

I have launched the game with nearly all the packs but I avoid doing so. If I'm playing MShep, I have no reason to load the female Armor. If I'm starting a new game (or resuming and know I'm not going to get to the second half) I don't load up Samara, Thane, Liara, Legion or Tali. If you aren't using Kestral pieces, don't load it. If you don't use the formal attire then don't load it. Simple really.

[LostHero2k9]

lol you never saw an application that is in an endless loop / hang up did you?
that rotating wheel means nothing.

i will try to let it load even longer tomorrow but i doubt that it will help.


€dit:
okay my issue was indeed caused by a corrupted tpf file. redownloaded all of them and now it works.

required time to launch: 6:49min with all the ultra textures listed in my previous post above. less than 10 seconds without ^^.

 By request, here are comparison shots for all the characters.  Took me long enough, eh?

Wow...I just noticed your work has made it to PCGamer. Congratulations! Your mods deserve the recognition. The article has also been quoted by Kotaku.

[Mr. Eclispe]

Hey I downloaded some of the files but TexMod say the files need to be tpf but some of the stuff are .rar files (GarrusME1Fix for example). how do I change it to tpf? and if this has already been answered then could someone point me to the right page? Thank you

Use WinRAR to extract the .rar files.  The .tpf files are in there 

[Darman]

Hey JeanLuc, I just noticed that on the ultra texture of the Maleshep N7 armor, the torso part seems to be a lot darker than arms, shoulders and legs. Is this just an error due to my graphic settings (I don't think so O.o) or is this made on purpose? I think it would fit better when everything is in the same light/darkness level.

Please update the OP with Kasumi's ultra texture.

Just under 6 minutes to load all, no change in frame rates, all ultra textures for me. Look around page 41-42 for other peoples times. It could be  corrupt file. I haven't have any hanging issues with Texmod, but I'm using an Nvidia card which Texmod seems to like more. Try redownloading all them if you think they are corrupted. Miranda's AAP#2 should add a little more time, but not much.

I personally haven't noticed this.  I'll take a look at the textures and come back with an update.
