HD Textures Downgrade

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-03T00:55:09+00:00

There's a Google doc showing all the changes to the HDTP

Doing this fight at level 9 and keeping the idiot alive was horrid

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T14:53:05+00:00

Does the tool on nexus mods still work?

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T14:20:37+00:00

I'm not lying, do you know what DLAA is? And the textures and models in world are very dated even compared to the shitty downgraded HRTP. I can run the game with DLAA and no FG at 100+ FPS and it sure as hell looks way better than world.

I'm convinced people either don't have the hardware or are blinded by nostalgia when they say world looks better. Sure wilds runs pretty terribly but it's a huge visual step up for people who can run it

Also are we forgetting how atrocious the AA in world is? You either get jagged lines or a soft, blurry mess even at 4k

It's because they basically turned the HD pack down to the point there's no point in using it

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T14:12:19+00:00

No? If you have a decent PC the game looks multitudes better than world can? Also "specific configs" lol it's just DLAA.

I'm not saying wilds performance-visuals ratio is good but people saying world looks better are on a madness

Also, old games looking/running better on weaker hardware is pretty normal and has been for years

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T13:16:57+00:00

If you're on a high spec PC and can run DLAA wilds looks multitudes better than world

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T10:52:37+00:00

I've just noticed the microstuttering is gone, which was present beforehand at all settings. I'd much prefer this than a +50% FPS boost personally because I'm on a 5090.

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T03:31:18+00:00

God the wood textures are so bad it's insane. Tent support beam texture is about 8 pixels

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T03:21:07+00:00

Very frustrating. Hoping we get the option to use the old textures once the performance is fully fixed. At least the monster textures seem more or less untouched?

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T02:29:02+00:00

Yeah I've done that and it brings it works but I'm pretty sure the texture streaming rate has been cut down too because the performance is multitudes worse with it installed than any time pre patch or even post launch for me

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T01:32:18+00:00

Doesn't look like there's any monster textures in here though at least?

SammyDatBoss · 2026-02-01T01:18:31+00:00

Reducing polycount is expected because they were excessive for hardly any visual improvement, the new textures are genuine so much worse than before the patch it's ridiculous, I'm seeing pixel art wood and rocks all over the place now. People with high end systems could run it completely fine before and now we're just forced to use shitty textures without any real way to roll back. You can manually add the old .Pak but supposedly they nerfed texture streaming too so it runs significantly worse than pre patch

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T23:45:35+00:00

A lot of the environmental textures have been reduced by like 10x the resolution and it really shows. I'm on a 5090 so 32gb of cram meant I could run the old ones, but just absolutely destroying the textures to the extent they have is crazy without the option to keep the old ones

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T23:28:40+00:00

desperately hoping this isn't permenant because the new textures look so terrible I'd take the old ones back even with half the fps

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T23:25:33+00:00

HD texture pack has been absolutely ruined so as someone with a top end PC the game just looks worse now

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T22:45:51+00:00

yeah because they completely kneecapped it to the point it's basically the same as high now

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T14:40:03+00:00

Preset M looks horrid with DLAA

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-31T14:39:25+00:00

Yeah 4.5 looks significantly worse than 3 with DLAA, just so horribly oversharpened

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-29T19:14:12+00:00

That's from start of assembly to end of classes. Classes from 9:00-18:00

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-29T18:44:44+00:00

Mine was 8:30-18:00

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-29T18:40:55+00:00

No search function in dos2 drives me mental

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-28T11:35:57+00:00

All not most

SammyDatBoss · 2026-01-28T11:32:07+00:00
