    No, high are better than the games regular high. and ultra is similar to game ultra but modify so you will stutter less when you use them:)

    I'm using ultra textures, ultra graphic settings, SMAA (vanilla temporal SMAA), vsync on @ 1080p with zero stuttering for the best experience. Lunayah's HQ Warm is indeed amazing.

    I've tested TheWorse Mod 1.0 with and without Maldo Textures but went back to Lunayah's HQ Warm because I was getting too much stuttering and some fps drops.

    Take your time Lunayah. Your mod is already very good as it is.

    Never had one of those. What I saw yesterday was a glitch with some tree leaves on the ground (some kind of flickering). Must have been a game engine glitch. Not an artifact for sure.

    Lunayah, great job! The game looks amazing with HQ WD subtle. Runs very smooth.
    Sorry for the translation, but I do not speak English.

    You could pass me an example of gameprofile.xml to take the game with ultra textures and SMAA. It's just to verify that this well configured.
    Thanks a lot!

    I think I know what you mean. Sometime at night I see leaves on the ground that are either flickering or moving really fast due to the wind. Im not sure which one it is:)

    Well buddy as of the new HQ mod you do not need my gamerprofile and you can also configure the graphics settings in game with anything between ultra and medium :)

    i dont know how to take screenshot in game, i tried to take it with my phone
    but that black artifact on headlights happens in fraction of a second
    i forgot to mention its not permanent black spots, it happens the moment when car appears on screen just before you see it cast headlight texture on road, also not all cars do that.
    also it was more noticeable in highways inside the city it was rare.
    and if im the only one then do not bother about it, it might be because im using 3 year old card hd 6970

    no worries, i just pointed out since i did not experience that in 3.1 and if the new version also gives me the same problem ill try replacing the files with 3.1
    , also i will replace two light related files from solocreep e3 lens later, so just tell me what files are involved with headlights apart from those, just in case.
    and the bug is minor its not hampering my game experience in any way.

    New HQ update

    Attention Important Update

    Mod specific changes:


    SMAA = Vanilla Temporal SMAA
    TemporalSMAA = 2xTemporalSMAA
    FXAA = SMAA
    NO AA = FXAA
    HMBAO = High Quality downsampled SSAO
    No Ambient Occlusion = HMBAO
    Low = Vanilla medium optimsed by me
    Medium = Vanilla High optimsed by me
    High = Vanilla Ultra optimsed by me (recommended for Ultra textures)
    Ultra = Uber Ultra optimsed by me (Heavy with Ultra textures)
    Ultra graphics + Ultra textures settings specs = 4GB 780TI or 290X or higher recomended for this settings
    High graphics + Ultra textures settings specs = GTX670 or equivalent for a stutter free experience

    Beaware that you may play with Low and medium whitout any major lost in visual quality.

    Beaware FPS will go down when using Ultra textures.


    Mod Information

    This version will be totally tweakable meaning. You may choose Low, Medium, High,
    Ultra and Custom or even mix a match between those settings. These settings have
    been tweaked and optimised for better quality and performance. They are much better
    than vanilla settings and you get all the eye candy. This mod include modified high
    and ultra textures. meaning you will see some ultra textures when playing with high
    textures and you WILL BE ABLE to play on Ultra with minimal or no stuttering nevertheless
    I would recommend you to put the graphics settings on high or medium when playing with
    ultra textures due to an FPS hit. you might be surprise how well it looks. My high graphics
    settings are superior than vanillas Ultra settings and much more optimised for quality
    and performance. Same goes to my medium setting and low. The ultra settings
    are much more superior to vanillas Ultra settings and therefore quite taxing on
    your system, nevertheless it has been optimised as much as possible so you can achieve
    good performance.

    Minimunn Systemspecs: GTX670, I7 CPU. 16GB RAM. or equivalent
    This mods is aim to those who want more graphic fidelity and smoother game play.
    This mod has been tested with a GTX670 and GTX670 SLI only so I cannot account
    for poor performance on lower systems. If you wish to run SLI which is kind of
    broken in this game. you may do so with high textures, ultra settings and Fxaa or
    MSAA 4x.

    Bugs fix and changes

    Bug with headlights during blackout
    Bloom has been improved and subtle
    I think you may now turn off DOF and stil see it during cinematics
    Optimised graphic settings
    Colorgradings tweaked for more subtle and less tinted effect.

    The fixed HQ mod will be released today. the file is nearly 2GB and it takes a while to upload

    Is it the WD HQ warm Fixed on the first page?

    PS: Can I run it with my rig on medium, or does medium not look as good as v3.1 at high?
