Low-res Textures bugfix
Fixes the broken default texture settings.
Tested on Hotfix 1.1.1 – still needed and works.
INSTALL (You don´t need to download the file here, it´s just a placeholder.
1. Set up everything the way you want using the in game settings then quit
2. Go to Documents\My Games\Outlaws and edit the graphics.settings.cfg (open in notepad)
3. Look for the setting [“streamer dedicated budget”] and change from 64 to 512 or higher (I recommend 1024 for a 4GB vram GPU)
4. You can set the graphics.settings.cfg to read only (right click and select properties) – otherwise the game will reset it to 64 when you change settings in game.
NOTES
For some reason the game sets my texture budget to 64mb which makes everything look really bad. I have a 4GB card and although that´s low for this game it shouldn´t look so bad. I went into the settings and manually changed the default budget of 64 to a higher value (see below) and that resolved the issue. See images for examples.
The affected setting is:
[“streamer dedicated budget”] = 64,
change to
[“streamer dedicated budget”] = 512,
You can try 1024, 2048, 4096, the game seems to work it´s own budget out if it is set too high. Setting it to 8192 on my 4096MB card didn´t cause any issues, the game ran fine but reported higher vram usage as expected and the settings reverted to 5120. 512 was enough to get the textures out of the potato bin, but higher settings made everything look better but I ended up settling on 1024 for my setup.
If this fix becomes obsolete in a future patch I will update this description.
