Androdion 899 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I assume that you're using this AI to re-optimize the texture packs, so does that mean anything in terms of the size of the archives or just in terms of their expected performance gameplay-wise? Link to comment

It added extra detail to many items, NPCs, monsters, landscapes, architecture and misc. objects in the game. It also added, sometimes unbearable, lags in crowded places, like cities. The mechanics of said lags is as follows: when "Default" texture option is on, the RAM cache assigned to the game is 210MB by default, when "Elite" texture option is on the RAM cache assigned is 420MB maximum. Yet every large town contains enough units, using hi-res textures from the package, that actual RAM usage shoot up to 465MB. The game's memory manager start returning it to the limit value, it overflows again, the memory manager optimizes it again, ad infinitum. All this causes constant heavy HDD I/O load, causing incessant lags. An attempt has been made to remedy that situation - hi-res normal maps(the true reason behind the problem) have been selectively cut out. Judging by the feedback, the outcome was positive. Therefore: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5yMxfzmPZ4_R2J2eFZxc2wzeGc Back up original graphics20 - graphics24.zip, then paste zips from the archive to the pak folder of the game(alternatively, use Generic Mod Enabler). I Downloaded the Trimmed Elite Textures Winrar File, where in the Sacred 2 Folder I have to Unfold it. The CM Patch I just can install. But with the Trimmed Elite Textures I dont know what to do. Thanks! Link to comment

It doesn't require any other mods, or the Community Patch, or even the Ice and Blood expansion. Visually, you will not see a difference from default elite Textures. Hey , I dont know where to unfold the Trimmed Elite Textures Winrar File, or what to do with it. Could you help me! Link to comment

Once installed the file assosiations will be applied and you can unfold the contents to your Sacred 2 installation directory. Overwrite, when requested. updated link: here 1 Link to comment

steinerrr 13 Share Posted June 2 Looks like all these links are dead. In case anyone is looking for these, here is the zip file with original Ascaron (untrimmed) Elite Texture Pack: There is also a bonus there - original PhysX .pak file with whirling leaf and debris animations that are missing after CM160, you can restore it back after Cm160. Both fully compatible with CM160, textures can be copied at any point, PhysX should be copied after the CM patch. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cJyc8vevOWE_zfXBxMw2EMiRoHPlcguI/view?usp=sharing 1 Link to comment

That file however is more than 3 gb in size and I don't know if its somehow addendum specific. I highly doubt it though. 1 Link to comment
