Looks good.

[Radwar]

Yes, this mod is amazing. Hi-res textures for those of us who doesn't have a 1 gig video card.
Actually you don't need the Bioware texture mod for it to work.

Does this work for everyone, or just DX11 cards?

Speaking of which, if I have a card that doesn't do DX11, is there any point to installing the hi res textures from Bioware? Any benefit?

[Noelemahc]

Cambios, it works even on DX9 cards. If you've ever used high-res texture mods for DAO and your computer didn't die from it, chances are, it will not even slow down with this patch, but everything looks approximately seventeen times better.

I currently have Biowares Hi-Res texture mod installed, is this compatible with it, and does it make anything better than Biowares version?

[TheEgoRaptor]

Ok good so this wont slow me down at all? Awesome, I was pissed when I checked my com stats and it told me I had Dx11 but it wouldn't work in game. This will help a heap, especially when Truffles is done the armour textures. My champion armour is all shiny on medium quality.

[Radwar]

Here's the difference for me. DirectX 9 and a 512 meg video card (BTW the creator of this mod said he's currently working on high-res armor).


OLD




NEW




Lost quite a bit of detail by resizing the images (oh well), but we can clearly see the difference on the cement tiles.

It shouldn't be a problem, anyway you only place a new folder in your overide directory (it doesn't change any files), if the mod creates any problems for you, just delete it, simple as that.

[TheEgoRaptor]

So Radwar does it slow down at all?
And does this do every location in the game or just Kirkwall?

Every location (also chairs, tables, etc), armors are being worked on at the moment, and no slow downs at all on my side. Like I said in a previous post, you just add a folder (named "patch") to your overide directory in your "My Documents/Bioware/DA2" (it doesn't replace any files at all), so just try it and if you get any problems (didn't have any myself), just delete the "patch" directory.

I can run the game on high, so I am not sure how much of a difference it makes FPS wise(made no difference for me), it does everywhere though, and looks a lot more detailed, eating atm will upload a picture of kirkwall with a before and after picture afterwards.

[TheEgoRaptor]

Worked Like a charm, just holding out for the amour textures now. Even the cloth on my Champion armour is shiny for some reason.

[Radwar]

It really is a great mod. Infact there are two mods I can't play DA2 without, this one and the "Autorun and Tab Highlight Toggles" Mod. What the second Mod does (again, doesn't replace any files) is make the Tab an activate/deactivate highlights in the game. So you just press Tab once and everything you can interact with stays highlighted, no more having to keep your Tab key pressed all the time, Yay!

Frankly, why Bioware didn't do this in the first place is beyond me.

This is what mine looked like before and after.

BEFORE (This is using Biowares Hi-Res Textures and Graphics are on High DX11)


AFTER (This is using the Hi-Res Textures from the Mod and Biowares Hi-Res Textures, same graphic settings)


And this just looked pretty so I screenied it xD

[Radwar]

Nice to see there's actually a difference using the Hi-Res mod when you're already playing with High settings & the Hi-Res Bioware add-on.

[EddySpeddy]

Yeah the game looks brilliant now, just wish I could play on Very High, or Ultra High whatever it's called. Must need some sort of super computer xD

I thought these specs would have been good enough for highest Settings, but they weren't xD
EVGA GTX 560 1GB card
Intel i7 930 Quad Core 2.8GHz

I don't want to diss on Bioware but it's really their engine that's to blame for it's lack of optimization. You can easily play much higher detailed games than DA2 with better frame rates. Heck there's games that have higher detailed environments than DA2 that doesn't require a 1 gig of Ram video card. In a way, it's sad that you have to rely on Mods to do a better job than the company did itself in so many ways. I guess that's why there's no toolset for DA2, Bioware/EA are sick & tired of casual people making Mods that makes huge improvements in their games which keeps making them look bad, lol.

Metro 2033, Shogun 2, Civilization 5, Starcraft II, Crysis, Crysis 2....all run better at max settings. And all are better in terms of visuals...though Civ 5 not sure if it needs a monster GPU

There is no toolset simply becuase they haven't taken the time to update the existing one that the DAO community has to work with DA2. DAO PC went gold in early 2009, but wasn't released until the console ports were done in October; while Bioware was waiting for the third-party that did the ports to complete them, they worked on the toolset for us. We simply need to be patient.

I guess that's just something Bioware needs to improve on. There are very few companies that can make stories as good as Bioware does though, and I guess that's the main reason I enjoy Bioware games so much. This game has many, many flaws, but I still love it.

Relax, it was a joke.
