Description
After almost 3 years in development! This mod aims to overhaul most architectural Level-Of-Detail aspects of The Witcher 3 by increasing the quality and rendering distance of objects. It also aims to apply corrections and fixes whenever possible to certain aspects of the game.
The name of the mod is a reference to The Witcher 2's UberSampling option, which was a way to future proof the graphics for later generations, and as such, this aims to future proof the game's LOD so it remains visually relevant compared to it's original offering.
