Why the minecraft textures? Game could look so much better.

[Forsaken1]

I love this game and have played hundreds of hours with hd textures mod, but now that willybach's HD Valheim mod is broken, I think I will just quit playing because I cannot stand the vanilla "textures". Anybody else hate that aspect of the game?

[Mr. Moustache]

To each his own. Personally I find Valheim to be one of the prettier games I've ever played, despite the low-res textures.

No one is saying that if a game has good graphics its good. What people are saying is that visualization is the main source of information we have while playing games, makes sense for people to want that to look good right?

Think about a third person game with a terribly ugly main character. You have to look at that character for the entire game, wouldn't you want it to look pleasing? If i'm playing a fun game because it has fun mechanics and gameplay, i'd also really like it to look good as well.

Thanks for this. Many op seem incapable of understanding the distinction here. Is always that I'm not a real gamer cuz I need sweet graphics AND fun gameplay mechanics. In my mind, I'M the REAL GAMER because of these things. :lol:

You don't get it. The whole discussion is related to (as you said yourself) OPINION. Your looking for validation for yours and you got some so it's time to go do something useful.

I can see your point for VR Forsaken1, immersion is enhanced in VR the better the game looks and in turn more fun. Half life just blows me away.

I wouldn't play this game in VR if I lost a mod that enhanced the games graphics either. I wouldn't however care playing this game in non VR if I lost visual mods, as in that case the graphics don't affect my immersion or fun. I would continue to play regularly no problem.

I take it you only play this game in VR? Or will you mind to play non VR? I think I need to know the answer to those questions to really tell where you are coming from.

Man, I really appreciate you cooler people that don't go straight into attack mode but are really here to discuss. For me, I started playing vr last xmas, and I really was totally blown away. For instance, Half Life Alyx left me in awe; graphics are insanely realistic. After playing games in vr, I am pretty much done with flatscreen games; no comparison in immersion factor for me. So, I am pretty much only into games I can play in vr. If I was to play flatscreen, graphics textures are much less important as everything I am looking at is not life size. I should have stressed the vr part better.

[RENGOKU]

I mean you kinda came out swinging what were you expecting?

As far as me I actually kind of like the art style if it was more realistic like the hundreds of other games in this genre it would look a little generic but I’m also a firm believer that you have two categories you have art style and graphics and what’s more important comes down to personal preference.

Yeah, I knew what I signed up for when I bought it; do you have a point there?

[Pobblebonk]

This is quite simply the art style the devs have chosen. Some players (including me) like this style, others have to either live with it or get mods.

The most important thing is that the art style fits the game, which it does in case of valheim or minecraft. High res textures combined with low poly models and little variation in vegetation would just look out of place.

[RichyRichy]

ngl the low poly visuals don't seem to do much for low vram cards, as someone who owns a gt 1030 I actively look at video benchmarks to see if I can run games or not beforehand and had an interest on Valheim but quite sad to see the ♥♥♥♥ level performance on a not so demanding looking game. would be nice to see better optimization on this game so atleast the graphics choice makes sense, but thats just my opinion.

Nah, I love it.

[The Donut Boy]

I thought the game looks visually beautiful, but oh well, I guess it's all a lie now, because clearly only quality games have ray tracing and 24k textures. If I can't see the individual sand grains on the beech fronts, is it really a playable game?

[SaberToothDeathMouse]

It's a conscious design decision and actually almost all people with a dedicated GPU can run this game regardless on how much VRAM they have. Of course it will run better if you have at least something that is not older than, say five to six years.

If you have at least four GBs of VRAM you can even use the Willybach textures. I've tried it and it worked fine.

Edit: Any MY opinion is that default Valheim looks gorgeous. And now? It's your opinion vs. mine. Nobody's right. It's a matter of taste.

Not that I'm agreeing with the OP, but they did point out that no one can use the Willybach textures since the cloud storage update. So those of us that were using it for HD graphics, aren't able to. I'm just pointing this out to you in case you didn't know.

I do NOT agree that the game is "ugly" in vanilla form... I greatly appreciate all the work the Devs have done, and I especially appreciate their decision to use graphics that almost everyone can load up and play.

I used the Willybach's HD texture pack because I liked it better than the vanilla textures (just my preference, and I have the VRAM to do it), but if I'm going to complain to anyone (I'm not) it would be to the mod dev of Willybach's for not updating it yet to work with the new update. LOL!

Before I played the game the textures were unappealing (PS1: point-sampled and lowres) in the promo videos.

I bought the game and loved the quick download, small footprint, short loadtime... AND then appreciated the balance of low-detail (lowres) but clear (pointsample) with gobsmackingly gorgeous light and atmospherics.

I have disliked the screenshots of those using hires texturepacks as they look too perfect/artifical -- like veneer; not enough grime and smudge, which isn't an issue with the lowres.

[Forsaken1]

Unrelated but...I can get a copy of my pre-updated game to work with all my mods, but my building/etc are all gone. Anybody know how to make my old valheim installation find my cloud save now?

You could have simply made a back up copy of Valheim before updating (you had 2 weeks warning there was a patch coming) and continued to play Valheim with said mod. Just an FYI.
