How to turn on ultra textures quality?

Post by Gunsmith »

modify the misc_maps.lua file in notepad (located in the data_misc folder of your install) and 0 out the texture map settings so that they look like this

texture_map = {

_0GB = { acc = 0, cars = 0, level = 0, peds = 0, vfx=0, sky=0 },

_1GB = { acc = 0, cars = 0, level = 0, peds = 0, vfx=0, sky=0 },

_2GB = { acc = 0, cars = 0, level = 0, peds = 0, vfx=0, sky=0 },

_3GB = { acc = 0, cars = 0, level = 0, peds = 0, vfx=0, sky=0 }

thanks, but i've already had all texture maps set to 0 by the game itself. i was wondering did Stainless shopped out extra ultra textures :( because with 0 settings CR looks more crisp. CMD looks more blurry. what's the point to have 8gb of vram and get smooth textures :(

I have a GTX970m with 6 GB VRAM in my almost 2 year old laptop ... So I guess 8 GB wouldn't be impossible ;)

Are there any other "tweaks" for maximuzing graphic quality that we can do in the .lua files? If yes, please let me know!

The GeForce 1080 and 1070 both have 8gb, the 980m did too. The Radeon RX 470 and 480 also can have 8gb, so 8gb is relatively common these days.

well that's really funny cause i build a brand new pc 1 year ago also - and it was 980 with 4gb vram.. and strictly about a year after (about 3 mounth ago) i bought 1080 for using oculus cv1. time flies indeed, within next year we'll get a standard 10-12 gb vram lol, just prepare your muney

I think the "ultra ultra" look was removed for optimization purposes, C:R does "Look" better but at the cost of performance so...maybe in future updates.

Yea the vehicle textures are fine, but the envornment especially city A and some desert parts are really blury ... like RAGE on low blury ... (why RAGE? -> megatextures)

Some sort of HIgh res textures pack DLC would be really cool... u know? like skyrim did (no I don't mean special edition)

I tried downsampling with C:MD but it didn't max it look any better, I know what you mean with blur it's a bit annoying on some maps so maybe when we figure out how to mod without it bothering our saves/career mode we can do it ourselves.
