This fixed a lot of textures for me. Stage x5.0 had most of it's plants turned into a green mess, and the york's scales just a grey pattern. Now they look like actual textures. Load times are longer, but that is expected. How well this works likely depends on your hardware.

With a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD, it's near-perfect.

Does this pre-load the stage then?

This is the overview for texture streaming in unreal engine. https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/RenderingAndGraphics/Textures/Streaming/Overview/

Disabling texture streaming will make the game load the maximum resolution texture, and always use it, instead of trying to fit "only important textures" into memory, and down scaling less important ones. This has an obvious performance impact, but it looks like a lot of textures in final 2 are considered lower priority. Even on systems that can take the performance hit.

tl;dr
Makes game load all the full sized textures, instead of using smaller/blurrier versions for low priority things if Vram is already full. Might cause hitching/slowdown on weaker machines, and the initial loading of a stage will take longer. However the game looks a LOT better due to many of its textures apparently being low priority.

It seems requires decent hardware.
My sub-machine is RTX2070(8GB) and almost 60fps flat on 4K.
Only bomb drops to 58fps.
With this change, fps is floating around 58-60fps.

Honest, I have poor sight, but still, what are the differences?

So far, the screen has not come out properly due to optimizations and bugs. Using this, you can easily tell what is different.

My main machine (RTX-2080Ti) seems fine to handle on 4K 60fps.
(I prefer to play on 1440p 144fps though)

Following is comparison on 4K.
I think white flower part is easy to compare.
Left side floor bydo seems more fresh.

My setting has changed from default for following part as well

thx for hint/info !

[Daikatan]

Thank you.

Someboy PLEASE make a guide out of it, so we can add to favorites and not loose

Wow... This is awesome. The player ship also looks great now too. Everything was a muddy mess and I was hoping that this would eventually get fixed, but this works too!
