📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEXT-GEN UPDATE!
Overview
This mod replaces the default, vanilla loading screens with ultra high-resolution images. The replacement images come from Witcher 3 promotional art and are appropriate for each region in the game. Some items of note:
-
[]All images were taken from high-resolution sources and were upscaled using an AI software program to be 11,312 x 4,096 pixels. Yes, this is larger than 4K. Yes, this is nearly as large as 8K. By way of comparison, 8K resolution is 7,680 x 4,320 pixels whereas vanilla is 2,828 x 1,024 pixels.[/]
[]To the best of knowledge, there is no impact to performance using this mod. These are loading screens, not textures, so it should not affect your load times or frames per second.[/]
[]Mod is available in two versions: 30 fps (the game's default), or 60 fps (use this if you use the 60 fps GUI mod - just be sure to give this mod higher priority in your load order).[/]
[]All regions in the game are represented:[/]
Kaer Morhen
Isle of Mist
Prologue Winter
