 ...and I've never understood this "I can't use TexMod with an ATI card" thingy.  Got a 1Gb Radeon HD 5770 and - aside from a bit of a longer load time - not a single problem ever.  EVER.  Game runs like a top, average 50-some odd frames and that's with everything by Jean-Luc loaded - not the mid-sized textures - the Ultra textures - and I usually run the game in 1920X1080.  Not a stutter anywhere.

Maybe it's a memory or processor problem?

I was only saying the same thing. I have the same card, load all JeanLuc's Ultra squad member mods, as well as the mods for the various Normandy crew, Shepherd's casual & armour, plus several other mods - about 25 all up. Granted the game takes a few minutes to load up, after that there is only a frame rate drop in cutscenes that involve holograms (anything with TIM, throught Overlord...) - my only gripe with ATI is the inability to force Ambient Occlusion from within Catalyst, like nVidia card users can from the nVidia control panel.

BioWare, I would pay cold, hard cash to have high-resolution textures for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 for PC.

Every bit, this!

why should they do it for ME 2 since its pointless as far as the story goes

On topic: Cool idea and all, but it will most likely be put out for retail, rather than just patches.

Actually, it would be a heck of a lot more work for BioWare to release a new retail version than simply releasing a patch.  Think of all the work that it takes to create thousands of copies of a new release and send them to retailers around the world.  As opposed to simply packaging the files, dropping the file on a server, and posting the URL in the forums...

Would love better textures.

[lolwot]

Hopefully Bioware will release an official HD texture pack for Mass Effect 3, just as they did with Dragon Age II. I won't hold out any hope for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 texture packs, although it would be very nice to have them. I don't really understand why the games didn't include high resolution textures to begin with. Aren't the source textures created at a very high resolution, then downsized for performance? Would it have been especially time consuming or costly to include high resolution textures in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2?

I think he meant that they would sell the HD texture pack as DLC, instead of a free patch.


I'd pay for it.

[ShadowBoss]

For folks on PC ? The HD texture pack should be for free. An HD texture pack was released for Crysis 2 on PC for free not so long ago, contained higher resolution textures and DX11 features.

INB4 EA uses SOPA to sue you back to the stone age for modding their game.

I like this idea but i would rather prefer Bioware made maybe two years after ME3 release a sort of
ME: Trilogy Edition. with:
-ME1 with enhanced graphic and all DLC included,
-ME2 with (if possible enhanced graphic and ME3 innovations) + ALL DLC
-ME3 with all DLC
A sort of Ultimate edition....it would be a day 1 purchase for me.

This would of course be a dream come true where the games are packaged into one massive game!

But, I support high-res textures for ME1+2! This is much needed and would be much appreciated by the fans!

I would love to see official HD texture packs for Mass Effect 1 & 2 (PC version)

I'd like it even more for ME3 at or soon after launch. I think it should be free, although I would be willing to pay for it for all three games.

Yep, that would be great. And it'd show, that they still care for their customers. Something they lost over the last years.

[someone else]

agree agree agree - and I think it would be outstanding for BW to reward JeanLuc and some of the other dedicated modders by using and compensating them for their work - and I would GLADLY pay for such an ultimate edition - day 1.

[Foxtrot 212]

I would pay no matter the price

[Unbannable]

Since we're now very close to the launch date, is there any word on a texture pack yet?

Skyrim released a texture pack recently, so hopefully Bioware jumps on the bandwagon.

And it's not like there isn't a precedent, since DA2 had a high rez texture pack.

[ti-guru]

Any news on this?

[Arian Dynas]

High resolution textures? Hells yes. Daddy want, please Bioware, Gaider, whatever god of Edmonton I must pray to, make this a reality you wonderful, wonderful men.

[Rycr]

Ultra-High-res textures? Yes please! Or, even if that doesn't happen, just give us a way to load custom textures without having to hack them in with TexMod! So much of my computer's power just goes to waste while playing ME2...

[Astralify]

JeanLuc761  made awesome hi-res textures. There is a big difference.

I'm actually using JeanLuc761's texture mods on my playthrough now. The few ME1 textures he improves are great, but there are still so many really low-res ones in the game. For example, the Volus and Elcor models. They look like they came from an early 2000's game...

I sure hope BioWare will continue to consider bringing texture packs to us.

[Koomazaz]

Hey, guys! No new reports on this matter in the past several days.

If you'd like to help, you should try sending a PM to each of the Mass Effect board moderators, asking for them to consider a high-resolution patch!

[Malakar1]

So any news about that? I 'd love to get some

[Duncaaaaaan]

It will only happen if they can sell it as DLC though.

I mean, if it's free, there's no profit to be had!
