About this image

This is a direct comparison gif of the skybox in Iron Keep. The DX9 and DX11 versions are represented in this image with no DOF.

I know gif's get dummied down in resolution but you can still see the DX11 version has a noticeably worse skybox than the DX9 version. Even with DOF on it's horrendously blocky in comparison. I have also uploaded jpeg's of the skybox to more accurately show you the differences. This is not the only skybox i have noticed that has gotten worse in one way or another.

So not only don't mods (like my skyboxes) work. But now we're stuck with low-res renditions of the originals in some cases. I haven't gotten through the whole game but i've also noticed problems with the Lost Bastille skybox. It's not to this degree, though. So we'll see what other fugly skyboxes are lurking out there soon. Hopefully no more will be found.

    Ooh, I wouldn't call that lower resolution. The extreeeeeme HDR in the DX11 version is blowing the contrast and brightness way up, making all those ugly artifacts from the texture compression pop up. Combine that with banding artefacts and you've got a real ugly sight.

      Quite possible but whatever the reason it looks incredibly bad in-game even with DOF activated. This is really one of those time i wish gedosato or uMod worked so i could get at the texture to see for myself.

      I guess i'll have to not look up as soon as i continue going through IK because it is nasty looking.

      Very true but the DX11 version is really bad now. Even with DOF on it looks like shizit. I didn't think it could be worse but it is.
