📋 About This Mod
Mihail's original textures were in old BC3 compression and mostly 4K.
I have cleaned the files of compression artifacts, and re-compressed in modern BC7 format. I have also downscaled the textures to provide different resolution options.
Requires the original mod
Performance Option for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.
