Changelogs
Version 2.0
- Added all DLCs and Awakening textures :)
- Fixed crash in Lothering! It WAS my fault! Im trashhh!
Version 1.3
- Removed some redundant textures that really did not need to be upscaled. If you are using v1.2, you do not need to update if you dont want to.
Version 1.2
- Resolved crashing in lothering for 99% of players.
Version 1.1
- adjust the resolution of some 8192x textures back down to their original size to lower vram requirement. The game crashes due to it being 32 bit, and exceeding 4gb vram and ram. I am looking into solutions.
DragonTex is a comprehensive mod that remasters Dragon Age: Origins with stunning upscaled textures and enhanced depth. This mod transforms the visual experience by improving the game’s textures, with a focus on fine details, depth, and realism, creating a truly immersive world. Key Features:
2x Texture Upscaling: Every texture in the game, from environments to characters, has been meticulously upscaled to twice its original resolution. This results in sharper, more detailed visuals that enhance the overall experience without sacrificing performance.
Enhanced Normal and Specular Maps: The remastered textures include newly enhanced normal and specular maps, adding incredible depth and realism to every surface. The subtle details, from the reflections on armor to the texture of the landscapes, are now more vibrant and lifelike.
Stable and Optimized .ERF System: To ensure a smooth and stable experience, DragonTex utilizes the .ERF system, making it easier to integrate into Dragon Age: Origins without affecting performance. This system keeps the textures optimized for the best possible visual results.
Why DragonTex?With DragonTex, you’ll experience Dragon Age: Origins like never before. The upscaled textures and enhanced maps create a world that feels richer, more detailed, and visually striking. The improved depth and finer details bring every environment to life, making the game feel fresh and new, while preserving the original atmosphere.
