4K textures?

[IMMINENT]

Okay, so I bluntly remember a trailer of the enhanced edition mention something about a 4K texture pack but I can't seem to find it. Am I just stupid or does something like this exist?

Wasn't that only mentioned for the console trailer? I think the PC version already has that automatically, and scales with your quality setting.

the 4K textures are already in the PC version, to enable them put the Maximum quality settings.

Was this added sometime after release? Cause according to multiple sources, initially texture quality was not scaling past medium quality setting irc.

I just found out that because dlss renders the game at a lower resolution, texture resolution decreases as well. At native 1440p the textures are razor crisp and detailed but with dlss turned on they're soft.

certain textures are horrible looking in many places on extreme preset at 1440p. Looks like a game from 1996 honestly. I dont know why they never uploaded a high rez texture pack for some of these textures , ridiculous.

They do look great at native, but since 1440p isn't 4k then why use 4k textures, right?

If only there was some way to force 4k textures from some .ini file...

No, that's not how textures work. The ability and necessity to use higher resolution textures is related mainly to the object's distance from the camera. If you are able to see low res textures at any screen resolution that usually means one of the two things:
1. There is some kind of problem with streaming higher res LOD (be it a bug or a memory constraint)
2. There is simply no higher res texture available.

In metro's case it seems to be the latter. AFAIK it was universally known on release that there are plenty of extremely low res textures throughout the game. I'm not 100% sure, but looks like nothing changed in EE in this regard.
