So I've been setting up the game and I noticed that my character and the NPCs have unusually low poly faces and bodies (especially the eyes!), which I found odd since I maxed everything out - and then I saw that the texture quality in the settings was set to medium. I set it to high, it said I needed to restart, and... it was still medium with no changes.
After that, I have done the following:
- I ran the launcher to make sure everything is up to date, and I set the texture LOD (which was also set at 2 out of 3, that is, medium) to 3 in the launcher settings as well. The game still launched with medium textures.
- I then found the config.ini in the game root folder, where I found the option "MaxTextureLOD" which I realized corresponded to the texture settings after some testing. If textures were set to low in-game, that "MaxTextureLOD" in the config.ini file would be 0. If the settings were set to medium, it would be 1. If the textures were set to high, it would be 1. I then tried setting it to 2 which would correspond to high only for the game to crash at start up.
- Afterwards, I spent 10 minutes just trying random numbers in the config.ini file for the textures. Setting it to 7 or something like that would have everything be super low poly. Setting it to 10 has the statue in the login screen be super high poly, but the characters super low poly, and other such experiments.
- I then went to the forum and I saw that someone else had this issue around 5 years ago, here: Bug Report - Solved - Texture Quality?? Bug Report - Solved - Texture Quality 'High'?.... doubt, but it was reported to have been fixed in a new client and that beta testing for that client is out. Since I'm getting the issue, does that mean that the client update still hasn't happened? But that seems odd since the original report was 5 years ago. Can that beta client be accessed? Did I perhaps download a wrong version? Or maybe this is related to my drivers? I am running AMD.
Edit: And I'll also add that the version I am seeing in the launcher is 3.0.1817.live, for clarification.
Thanks.
