This....needs to be replaced ASAP

.. have y'all actually looked at Ultima weapons textures during those cutscenes? Probably not. You're probably watching youtube like I am.. but.. ewww. The first few runs I did of Prae I was distracted by the story.. now that I have to sit there.. eww.

If we're talking GFX, lets get real reflections that are there when I do NOT look at the object directly.

Currently you see a rock reflecting off the water as long as it is in your sight. Turn the camera down, so you only see the water and the rock reflection is gone.
Bugs the crap out of me.

Sounds like cpu-side culling. They could possibly make it so the objects have to be much farther out of the field of view before they're culled, but that could possibly lead to performance issues on lower-end computers. Maybe a fix that's optional, with a checkbox in the settings?

This whole thing just screams "petty" to me. To see anything that bad you have to literally go out of your way to find it, and if you're doing that then you've got no support from me.

Honestly, I find making a thread about this issue fairly petty. There are poor textures in the game, sure—but unless you go really out of your way to look for them or play with your camera zoomed all the way in, it’s unlikely you’ll actually notice them to the point that they are as egregious as claimed.

HD texture packs would be lovely, but the developers have already stated that they have no plans for it due to the amount of time and resources it would take to actually upscale the textures for this game (they currently only have one texture, and it’s the one we all see—no textures for anything are scaled to HD at this time), and I actually understand this reasoning. Plus, they cater to the lowest common denominator when it comes to game optimization, and right now that is low-end PCs. Not even the PS4 or the PS4 Pro, the latter of which can handle 4K, if I’m not mistaken. Eventually the PS4 will show more of its age, but I think what holds them back are people who play on computers not exactly built for MMOs (i.e., toasters).



As for the aside about the completely unrelated thread—if you are that interested in what happened, OP, perhaps you should go read it instead of just assuming what it was about. It was honestly a well-needed thread, and a topic that appears on this forum from time to time (well within reason, too).

I don't think we're even talking about that in here anymore. I saw "baldy blah blah" and then there was a lot of arguing and posturing and now we have a full blown argument going on.

Zoom far enough in to anything, in any game, and it'll look like complete dog poop. You're trying way too hard for such a non issue when there are far more pressing things this game needs.

That's incorrect.
That screenshot is not a zoom, you walk by and that's what you see. Going into semantics doesn't change the the situation.

Doesn't change the fact that your example of a bad texture is out of the way, obscure, and far less intruding than something more obvious like Hien's outfit. Try again.

You can only speak for your own hardware, not other's. They want as many people as they can to play the game so it needs to be able to run on as many systems as possible. Before I upgraded my GPU I had to use my on-board graphics which, while the game ran fine, it still struggled at times.

"on-board graphics"
That's on you, they're not debugging the game at all for anyone using on-board graphics.

Try again what? You seriously need to relax, this isn't a competition.
I believe and support Hien getting his clothes design patterns fixed.
