Red_Ripper Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hey all; I've seen multiple threads about this but unfortunately they're all 10+ pages and honestly I don't have the time to search through all of them for an answer. My question is; during certain cutscenes there seem to be different, higher resolution textures used for your character's armor, hair, scars, tattoos and the over all appearance of the game. Is there anyway to apply these high resolution textures to the entire game, so they're used all the time instead of just during certain cutscenes? Thank you in advance for the help and I apologize once more for the dumb question. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jybwee Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just started browse'n round the forums today. Seems there are MANY threads open on this. The high-textured aren't working right atm and only are available and random times like during NPC interactions. Should be fixed soon i would imagine. Then you'll be able to see them all the time.

RiflesCrossed Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Actually the low quality textures you see during standard gameplay ARE the "High" textures according to Bioware. I too thought that the poor quality must be a bug, but SR confirmed today that Bioware intentionally disabled the higher resolution graphics used in cutscenes in order to insure that players had the smoothest gameplay experience possible during actual gameplay. Many people are disappointed by this, myself included, and it has turned in to a huge gripe fest in the official thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch_TwentyTwo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I find it funny that suddenly today we are getting a new thread every 3 - 4 minutes on this, almost as if it were being coordinated somehow... /conspiracytheory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightblaster Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Stephen Reid addressed this. Basically they can't render the detail of the cutscenes in the rest of the gameworld because in situations where a lot of characters are on screen at once, this would crater performance for most people.
