About this mod

High resolution textures for the entire game (1800+ upscaled textures)

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod is a texture pack that contains 1800+ upscaled textures, getting rid of most pixelated textures.
Most diffuse textures have been upscaled x2, some of the lower resolutions textures have been upscaled x4.
Includes UI, characters, environments etc... basically everything.

Compatibility

  • This mod should be compatible with all editions of the game.
  • Other mods that modify game textures should be installed after this one if you want their textures to show ingame.
  • The UI textures from Asylum HD UI are included. If you install this mod, Asylum HD UI is not necessary and should be uninstalled.
  • It would seem this mod is not compatible with other mods that use Texmod. Probably because Texmod no longer recognizes the textures it needs to replace once they have been upscaled. There is no solution to this except converting the Texmod mods to TFC installer texture packs.

Known issues

  • Some game assets will still look low resolution. These meshes were mapped using very small parts of their textures and would need to be reworked.
  • Very low resolution text, once upscaled, will turn into alien text. No one knows what it means. Don't try to read it, and you will be fine.
  • I have not tested the full game. I have already fixed a lot of problems before release, but if you encounter any major problems, please post in the comments.

Installation

Unzip, then use TFC Installer for UE3, version 2.3.1.0 or above.Older versions are not compatible, some textures will not show at their full resolution.
The instructions are on the TFC installer mod page.

Do this for the main mod file v1.0, then for the patch v1.1.

Once this is done, you should edit BmEngine.ini if you want the textures to show at their full resolution.
I have the steam GOTY edition of the game, so for me this file is located in my documents folder, under "Square Enix\Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY\BmGame\Config\"

First make a backup copy of the original file. You will need it if you want to uninstall this mod or if you make a mistake.

Open BmGame.ini using any text editor (I recommend Notepad++, but notepad will work),
Search for "TEXTUREGROUP_" (without quotes):



Change all MaxLODSize values to 4096:



Save the file, and change the file properties to make it read only

Uninstall

Start TFC installer, click "restore backup" and select a backup prior to installing this mod.
Restore your backup of BmEngine.ini in your documents folder. If you don't, the game will crash on startup.
