Low Res

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

I’ve been getting low res textures in Source games lately, most noticeably on playermodels and the menu background.

I’ve changed settings to low then back to high, restarted, verified integrity of game files… I don’t have any custom configs. This is happening in CS:S and HL2DM. Hasn’t happened in TF2, haven’t tried any other games yet.

EDIT: Most likely unrelated, but I picked up SOC again today, and some textures seem ridiculously low res on it too compared to usual…


^ So much for parallax mapping?! Flat bricks are flat. ^


I verified integrity, and even reinstalled SOC Complete to no avail… Doesn’t look great. Settings are at their highest.

It’s telling me it’s already set to that, but I’m doubting it…

Having it set to very high in the options though should be making it that value, so that much is working right.

Have you touched the settings for your graphics card recently?

When I had low texture issues in L4D2, I found the problem was my mipmap detail settings in Catalyst Control Center was set to for performance instead of quality.

I had just updated my drivers today, and all of the settings were reset. That fixed it, thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

You have to buy it on Steam. If you mean a link to the Complete mod then https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009 .
