Hi Res Texture Pack

I do think it would not be hard if the devs were to upgrade to DX12 in the future. All they would need is change the API? Or the runtime or whatever. I'm not a guru or anything, but I think it would not be that hard to do.

DX12 only runs on Win 8.1 and higher. We're not getting DX12 for a long time. It's not even out yet and it's more than just API changes.

Furthermore, with the DirectX 11 version, characters will be rendered with uncompressed textures, making them look even more impressive. The visual quality of objects in the background has also improved, and even the texture of characters’ skin will look more realistic.

Uncompressed textures, even if it's not high resolution, would hopefully eliminate the terrible jaggy/muddy textures we see.

I really hope what you said is true when it comes out in few days.
