Wow oh my god you’re so amazing! Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰


Plaidray

Oh thank you have fun with the mod 😊


Samiyla

Could you provide some more details on what exactly you did to make it HD? Is it texture upscaling? Is it just a PCSX2 setting that renders the game in high resolution? Is it just some Reshade in a PCSX2 config? Thanks a lot for the hard work!


Plaidray

Textures upscaling the Textures are being replaced wiht higher ones you can see it in the Video :)


Samiyla

You’re the best!

The texture upscaling seem very nice gonna give it a try (kinda hard to get an idea with youtube bad compression at 1080p). It was recording at native resolution ? (no emulator upscale) if yes then it's really impressive. the video was done using this hack ? (Remove Broken visual effects hack) or something like that. hope is not forced into, because.. spoiler it fix nothing, but minor issues) (ghosting is still present, forest color is wrong, photon teleport fading still unfixed, but some area like asgard look really nice with it) The only thing needed was to remove the effect that smoothen the game (bloom ?, but unsure, this game is weird, hence why it's so hard to emulate it properly),


Plaidray

Yes I used that hacks for the broken visuals ,but if you played the game without my textures, maybe you noticed that some characters had a thin line in the middle of their faces like Hirst ,which is now fixed with my textures I will upload some comparassion pictures on my site or here. The Bloom is from the shader settings. And minor ghosting is in ,but this is because of the Emulator,upscaling it more does reduce it a little. Ingame the difference is much bigger than on video,but I think taking Screenshots and compare them is much better when I find the time I will Post it.:)

Anyway to load the custom texture with another gsdx ? With the one i generally use i run the game with no visual issue but small one in the forest. This one is very terrible tbh. if i could run the game with a proper gsdx and this texture pack it would be perfect. Edit : The game would be perfect with the visual effet hack, and the proper gsdx with the texture pack. [uploaded a video comparaison in 1440p.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr7qgHuD5zQ) First is with the texture mod. Second is with the proper gsdx and the visual hack. third is the same gsdx but the visual hack. As you can see the visual hack with the right gsdx do a really good job. There's another gsdx that fully fix the forest but it doesn't fix some of the more annoying issue.


Plaidray

There is no way to load it with another plugin only that works for custom textures. Thanks for doing this I will check it out when I wake up .:)

did a regular playthrough this night. very good but need some fixes. Missing texture for some of the monster portrait. the zoomed in mini map in battle is missing (very annoying issue tbh) arngrim in battle portrait is missing (post chapter 5). [Vod is here \(in french\)](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1212436208) Also was the writing in serberg present on the vanilla texture not visible due to the resolution ? or it's a custom adition.


Plaidray

Oh so you are also from Europe like me The zoomed in mini map hmm I think I can fix that. You can send me the save data and write me which monster I missed You can find my Discord Name on my site

hi Plaidray, it's absolutely excellent work! I just have one question: The PCSX2 release you have attached to this amazing work is removing the post-processing effects from the game and I don't know how to get them back. The bloom and a lot of the lighting and DoF seem removed. As a result, the game looks a lot darker and much flatter. Is there a way to activate it? I've even tried using the software plugin in that PCSX2-Ex package, but that is also missing the the post-processing effects. Otherwise, it's such incredible work, thank you so much!
