Texture Overhaul

The purpose of this mod is to replace old vanilla low-res textures with HD realistic & lore-friendly ones !

Installation

• Create a folder named Override in "/The Witcher Enhanced Edition/Data" folder and copy/paste all my files into it.

You can also use the older Texturen Mod but it's only sharpen vanilla textures with no increase in resolution and makes them more pixelated (also many textures are identical to vanilla). If you really want it, copy my files over it.

Tweaks

• Use ingame antialiasing option (if you're set AA in your graphic drivers, shadows will not be displayed in-game)
  
• You can enhance vegetation aliasing by activate transparency AA in your graphic driver (2X or 4X, 8X is useless)
  
• For those who like it, V-Sync must be set to ON in graphic drivers
  
• To enhance compatibility, I advice to not install Steam & game in "C:/Program Files". Also, deactivate Steam overlay.
  
• If your language settings reset each time you launch the game, read this tutorial.
  
• Use my ENB Preset to improve bloom & coloration. If the ENB don't launch at start, check if the game executable is not set as "Launch as administrator"
