That usually happens if you have a Steam copy and don't have steam.dll + steam.exe copied in the game's folder (so the launcher stops the game from running). Look for them in your Steam installation folder.
Does anybody know how to fix the invisible Reaver bug? Is this a problem with this texture mod or just a necessity to use the 'Go Cheese' mode again upon loading the game up? Thanks to anyone who can answer! Iron Armor looks grand!
EDIT 1: So after further investigation it seems it is a bug with the game itself sadly. The Reaver disappears upon loading the game meaning you must play in one consecutive playthrough with the Reaver and regardless if the 'Go Cheese' is activated the Reaver is still invisible. However loading a New Game brings the Reaver back. I am going to investigate to see if the Reaver comes back post-cinematic.
EDIT 2: Find Mist if you use the Reaver via the Go Cheese Cheat, it's a cheat for New Game + folk I'd imagine so essentially, yeah. Find Mist when your Reaver is invisible, turn to Mist, *bam* the Reaver returns sheathed on your back. Go figure. XD
Thanks for the hard work Varga! Loving the new textures man!
so on the blood omen 2 remastered texture pack, the ReShadePreset, where exactly does that go? does it go into the steam folder or do I use it in TexMod as well?
Download the ReShade installer from here if you don't have it: https://reshade.me/#download, open it, find BO2.exe on the list, click Next, choose DirectX 9 & at the bottom of the window click Browse, select my preset, click Next. Now it installs the filters and applies them the next time you open BO2. If you don't like my settings, tap Home while in the game & tinker with the settings/turn filters on/off. Hope this helps!
Excellent work, the textures of Kain's armor and some of the soldiers and the bricks are very beautiful. Kain's eyes are finally in HD. You can see the difference! I really hope he continues the work, it would be amazing to at least have all the enemies and citizens in HD and all the eyes. I know the "Soul Spiral" program which is used to open .big files but I don't know how to recompress the files into .big once modified or how to extract the .tpf files. Can you tell me how you did it, I want to render the whole game in HD. Thank you!

I used Texmod to export the files, if you know a way to reinsert them into the .big files I'm happy to share them.
