Texture Sizes !

View distance. this would be good as a configurable option IMO i feel half my problems could be solved with that.

the part that could be controvertial is the fact that previous to any mod here the engine is simply dipping into a 5 meg file to use the 2nd stage or 1st stage mip map, a first stage mip map is the original texture a second stage is the next mip obviously but it s half the size. with this mod the system is dipping into a 1.3 meg file, its controvertial as to wether im seeing better imagery or not and wether this file size is so important as to produce better stability ingame.

Medium here. 5770 is a gig.

Original for me....

good frame rates and very little stuttering. Modest resolution tho' to match my 1280x720 projector.

All ok on highest settings.

No problems on highest settings.

So a better video card helps to cut down on the stutters?

Original. I've also tried high but it didn't make any difference for my average frame rate on the Black Death track. There have been reports that original would give more stutters than high but I haven't tested that yet.

Voted high, after last patch actually managed to use Original though with big stutters - but now I get launcher crashes and stutters are now unplayable.

You know roughly when I last installed Ali, so I'd say it's taken about a week/2 weeks of quite rare play to degrade to this point.

Thanks for testing Ali, looking forward to hear more

well im incredibly happy with what reducing the textures has done. ive incorporated it into my general mod with the colour changes and dark trees. but how will those who use original texture sizes appreciate using 1024 textures i wonder ??? any insight from the original size users ???
