Dire-Wolf Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Stop posting hires vs lowres pictures everyone, it makes me wanna cry! We're missing out, big time! I was just about to post something similar to this. The game can look so good and it's such a shame how much we're missing out. Hopefully BioWares fixes the issue soon.

LGalucard Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I wonder what is the big deal and come out with an official response. Even if they dont plan to fix the issue i would like them to come out and say it instead of trying to bury it with the 1.1 setting change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely anyone in here is complaining about the shading of the world and the effects. They are complaining about their characters armor textures looking like junk and providing factual evidence showing how the game cuts their definition.

KTheAlchemist Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 SWTOR Y U SO UGLY? http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/1066/15163227.png http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/7682/81473350.png http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2980/79828958.png That's the funny thing though. With the current restrictions the game can be amazingly pretty and then jarringly ugly in alternates. How pretty the game *can* be makes it all the worse when some godawful texture butts its way into the scene. Like for example, my character's face outside cutscenes. You design the character with highrez textures, then play with medium ones...it took me awhile to realize the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are moaning that good enough textures aren't already in game. I agree, but that doesn't mean the game is hideously unplayable.

MaxWham Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) World design and art direction are both great! But character textures are definitely not... Edited January 7, 2012 by MaxWham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milmo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) we will get high resolution textures everytime and not only during dialog cutscenes? I think textures in cut scenes are just as low res. I do see higher res textures in random places around the game world though, one example is the Varantikus on Voss.

Caonimah Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 People are moaning that good enough textures aren't already in game. I disagree. Zoom into those characters and tell me that the armor textures look good. Even a turd my look good at a distance. And "good enough" is incredibly conformist when you know that the game is capable of giving you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aramisx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I recon we also only have medium shadows aswell and it was just labled as high (they;re far to blocky to be considered high IMO). This! I look at what would otherwise be a beautiful game (even with the permastuck medium settings, though I have everything maxed out), and for some reason I look at my shadow...especially when on snow in Hoth, and it makes me sad how poor the shadow rendering is. I know it's not my computer, which would be the typical CS response "ensure your computer is set to so on and so forth..."

milmo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Your missing the entire point. The textures ARE in the game. I'm not too sure, It seems they have been partially implemented. I think the cut scene textures look like crap, so I'm not sure what people calling them high res are smoking. There are high res textures at random around the game world, but I've yet to see them on any armors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are high res textures at random around the game world, but I've yet to see them on any armors. A lot of the armor do look like crap even when in cutscenes. The issue is that they look sharper while in them. Sharper is better than blurrier/muddier. Edited January 7, 2012 by Caonimah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerholm Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 What on earth? They just closed off this thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=139660&page=8 And then posting some ridicolous workaround that isn't working at all?! Bioware, I wrote in my last post that you shouldn't keep us in the dark but this is exactly what you are doing, don't do this towards your players.We NEED a threat about this in the general AND PTS forums, don't close threads, just don't.

Gilbara Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 That was five years ago...please don't tell me you're comparing the textures in a game from 2007 to a game in 2012. next time read the post i am responding to beforehand. the poster said he thinks games from 2007 have better graphical models and detail then SWTOR.

Yes, there is a need of a topic regarding this in the PTS, as the thread was created when there was an update note regarding this. Now this update note might have been misunderstood but no matter what, there was an ongoing discussion about the matter at hand and to shut down a relatively big thread just like that is simply not positive in any matter of way.

Gilbara Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I play at 1080p on my 42 inch television, right there i can see you will have graphics issues. Televisions are not made to the same specs as high end gaming computer monitors. you'll see a big improvement if you used something like this: Dell - UltraSharp U3011 30-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I know it's an important issue but if that board is just filled with threads about things people want fixed and nothing actually relevant to the PTS builds it's not much use at all. Better to keep them here in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is because they 1.1 patch is trying to hide the problem with the setting options change, i consider this part of the problem and pertinent to the patch. They shouldn't have closed and they should also stop repeating that silly work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendergibson Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I honestly think that the high res textures has something to do with the heat issues many have with SWtor. The PC's heat up A LOT during cutscenes, where high res seems to be enabled.Even on PC's that play crysis, skyrim etc on ultra and maxed AA without any heat issues at all.

Gilbara Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 look at this screenshot, open it in it's own TAB so you see it at full resolution. this screenshot shows a game that looks fine. and even the screenshot will have inherent degradation. i don't see what everyone is complaining about. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m128/enginekid/Game%20Stuff/crew-management-screen-bug.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
