Not that we need glowing skins since everyone already look like walking glowsticks but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was just an example that its possible to do.Overlays and shader injections should be fine though as those don't directly change a game but rather work differently. @Dawdler.8521 said:@Veprovina.4876 said:But it's only on the client side so idk how Anet seees those.

Even if its just some more or less harmless asset flips. I mean, for anyone else, that player in the video looks normal, with a normal skimmer I presume. But you never know how else can that affect others etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOCROM.8957 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well, i think i will use Nvidia filter. Kinda forgot about that. I can sharpen, modify color, detail levels, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArynSun.8057 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Is there any chance of an official High Resolution Texture Pack being released by the developers? In the event that DX11 support and/or multithread support comes to the game, running this on my 70" 4K home theater system would be sweet, but with low resolution textures, not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agree. We’re actively working on upgrading our engine to DirectX 11, and we expect to be able to roll it out in an opt-in beta later this year. An important note is that the upgrade to DX11 itself isn’t a magical fix for frame rates on its own. Some players may not notice a difference at all. However, upgrading to DX11 opens a lot of doors for improving performance—CPU multithreading for instance. It also paves the way for some potential graphics upgrades down the road. We’re investing in our infrastructure, engine, and graphics because we’re looking to the future. This is a long-term effort. I'd say there's a good chance as you can see here they mentioned being able to upgrade the graphics with DX11. 😀 Edited August 5, 2021 by Charrbeque.8729 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
