Still no more updates on this... but yeah, graphics just got worse today: now we can't even look at the screen with all that ****** flash going on on our bars, lol.

What's the last status update on high-resolution textures for patch 1.2? Are we gonna get them?

I'm gonna link this into the Official Hi-Res Textures post. Thanks for the info OP!

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r277/UnruheEndlos/TORWOWComparison.jpg Enough said. Added that pic to the first post.

Updated first post with some really interesting stuff provided by Lemon_King, about what's going on in the RemoteRenderer.dll.

Is this change scheduled for 1.1?

Today is monday, so I really hope that today is the day we get a response on this. I mean, it's been 120+ pages of people wanting an answer, I think it's about time we know what's going on.

Updated 1st post with the original post. Keep it up guys!

At this moment, SWTOR probably has the WORST looking textures on characters in the MMO market: - WoW - EQ2 - Aion - LOTRO - WAR - AoC - Lineage 2 - Fallen Earth - EVE - DCUO - CHO - RIFT And the list goes on. Seriously, just look at your character. It's been like 10 years since we have seen something looking THAT bad.

I updated the first post with some information I recieved from an user via PM. Seems like the texture nerf is being applied on the RemoteRenderer.dll.

I'm updating the first post with info extracted from these 33 pages.

The truth is, at THIS moment, WoW's textures are better than SWTOR's. And that's a fact.

And some fanboys still saying its just a "lighting" problem. lol.

9 pages. No Bioware answer, and they are posting about ability delay. Guess you guys are right: they are just "patching" this issue so no new players notice that there won't be real high textures in the game for a while.

Ok, from public test realm forums: "There are now only two textures options low and high, I checked the public test client. I guess medium is the new high lol." ROFL.

So, 4 pages and no Bioware response. Great.

So, this is what the game looks like all the time: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/screenshot2012010419385.jpg/ And this is when you click on your holo terminal, just for 0,5 secs: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/screenshot2012010419390.jpg/ So yeah, somehow high-res textures are already in-game, but no way to use them outside cutscenes.

However, at this moment the issue hasn't been fixed for 1.1. What is more, they deleted the "Medium" quality option, and now there are only two options. Low and High. And yes, you are right: High is just the new Medium, as you can see in this screenshot: http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9238/swtor3.png More info on this, by MaxWham: 4- Somehow, the high resolution textures are already in the game.

It's really impressive what some users like him are finding inside the code: It is important to note that after 200+ pages, Bioware still hasn't said anything about this. I'm also quoting this very well written post: //Update. So, this is what the official known bugs forums says: If you installed prior to 5:00AM CST on January 4th, 2012, your graphics will display as "Low" even if actual in-game settings are higher due to automatic preference detection. Workaround: Your graphics setting will display properly once modified and saved. Workaround: Individual preferences will display properly once modified and saved. Also, it was stated on 1.0.2 patch that: Upon a new installation and first launch of the game, settings files and in-game graphics preferences are now consistent with each other. So, please Bioware, can we get a clarification on this? Does this mean that if we reinstall the game using the online installer, we will get high resolution textures everytime and not only during dialog cutscenes? If not, any ETA on when the high resolution textures bug will be fixed? Thanks in advance for answering this confusive situation.

But they are not being used while playing with your character. You can see em during dialog cutscenes. You can see them on your companions wardrobe preview window. And you can see them for 0,5 secs after clicking on your holo terminal in your ship. Here are some examples: Medium: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/screenshot2012010419385.jpg/ High: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/851/screenshot2012010419390.jpg/ Medium: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8974/screenshot2012010710454.jpg High: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/553/hirez.png Medium: http://imgur.com/NqI7j High: http://imgur.com/M7Geg ToonPhil shared with us this one: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3646/swtorhightextures1.png Another one from Adamant: Medium: http://i.imgur.com/PsqBo.jpg High: http://i.imgur.com/U1RMk.jpg And yet another one: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r277/UnruheEndlos/The%20Old%20Republic/TORTextureComparison.jpg One of the best high/med comparison photosets I've seen in this forum, by Rhykker: http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5493/hirez.jpg Gif showing the difference between both: http://m.uploadedit.com/bac/1325903803236.gif and another gif: http://i40.tinypic.com/ip8wmb.gif And a video: And a WoW vs SWTOR comparison: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r277/UnruheEndlos/TORWOWComparison.jpg Also, I'm getting this technical information from the user Lemon_King. It's really impressive what some users like him are finding inside the code: It is important to note that after 200+ pages, Bioware still hasn't said anything about this. I'm also quoting this very well written post: //Update. So, this is what the official known bugs forums says: If you installed prior to 5:00AM CST on January 4th, 2012, your graphics will display as "Low" even if actual in-game settings are higher due to automatic preference detection. Workaround: Your graphics setting will display properly once modified and saved. Workaround: Individual preferences will display properly once modified and saved. Also, it was stated on 1.0.2 patch that: Upon a new installation and first launch of the game, settings files and in-game graphics preferences are now consistent with each other. So, please Bioware, can we get a clarification on this? Does this mean that if we reinstall the game using the online installer, we will get high resolution textures everytime and not only during dialog cutscenes? If not, any ETA on when the high resolution textures bug will be fixed? Thanks in advance for answering this confusive situation.
