About this mod

High resolution textures for the entire game (2300+ upscaled textures)

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Content

This mod is a texture pack that contains 2300+ upscaled textures, getting rid of a lot of pixelated textures and enhancing fine details.
Most diffuse and specular textures have been upscaled x2 or x4, depending on content and original resolution.
Includes all types of textures (environment, objects, adverts, etc...) except the UI which is not stored as textures.
A couple of textures have been reworked by hand to fix some mistakes introduced in Bioshock Remastered.

About 40% of Bioshock Remastered (2016) textures are actually x2 upscale from the original game (2007).
These have been re-upscaled using the original 2007 textures to provide better quality, as the upscale tools available now provide much better results than the tools that were available back in 2016.
The remaining 60% of the textures were remade by hand for the 2016 remastered, and have been upscaled in this mod.

Compatibility

  • This mod should be compatible with all editions of Bioshock Remastered (2016)
  • This mod is not compatible with the original Bioshock (2007).
  • Other mods that modify game textures should be installed after this one if you want their textures to show ingame.

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.
  • Not everything could be upscaled due to technical limitations with the way the game handles large textures. I will provide an update if I can find a workaround.
  • 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.
  • If you have the EPIC games edition of the game, you will get an error about the "Final" folder not being found. I have provided a compatibility patch, instructions can be found in the sticky post in the comments.
