Uncompress the textures! Or how to prepare for the advent of 4K

[NightmareT12]

Well, yesterday a lot of people were noticing the new Infested Maligna skin was a pixely mess (that I am sure is getting fixed next hotfix), but the issue isn't isolated. Earlier this year you guys had to fix a similar thing affecting Mesa Prime. Wukong Prime doesn't have it much better, nor does many textures since Mirage Prime's Access (I believe that all of them except Limbo and Mesa suffer of this). It goes back to certain earlier items, such as the Targis Prime armor. Don't get me started on the Scindo Prime.

Some tilesets suffer of this too, you can totally see it on certain walls.

To be fair, I believe half the game's assets are afflicted in one way or another. I understand that textures are compressed for performance, size and to avoid jagginess depending in the resolution, but as we enter 2020, I am wondering if there's not a chance that we can get an optional Max res pack option to download or some way to allow the game to do it on the fly.

Steve mentioned not too long ago he was looking forard to 4K and HDR, and honestly, it doesn't feel like Warframe's fully prepared for this EVEN THOUGH the original assets are.

So easy question: Is there any solution, any chance at all, we can get some sort of optional way to download or a setting of some sorts that allows us to use the full thing, like other games do? I don't think it's too far fetched, and at some point you will want to do this if the game lives long enough (and I bet it will) to go to the next generation of consoles.

Shuold be ideal, as alot of people use 4K Screens, as I 4K user myself I agree to this

Im using 4K through Nvidia DSR which dont have that right feeling - UI team, im looking at you - but still i notice those low res textures

 

Also side propose since we have Resolution scale in game - can you make it to go higher than 100%, so it works like SSAA (actual AA method in game sux hard) and i dont have to use Nvidia DSR because UI bugs etc...

Oh yeah, that would be an absolute godsend for me. I'd love to try to crank up to 150% res without destroying my whole desktop in the process 😛
