About this mod Machine translation
Adds a slider for dynamically editing the secret TextureMipBias option introduced in patch 1.04. No more editing .ini files and restarting the game.
This will add an options slider for editing the hidden TextureMipBias options introduced in patch 1.04 without having to edit the .ini file and exit the game.
Why should I use this?
By default, this setting is too high and introduces "texture flickering". Basically, it makes the texture look like it's moving when it shouldn't. This mod allows you to reduce the flicker effect without having to exit the game.
As an added bonus, you can get high resolutions up to 5FPS by lowering the default resolution.
Install
Unzip to:
GOG version: The Witcher 3binconfigr4.user_config_.pc\
Steam version: SteamLibrarysteamapps.The Witcher 3binconfigr4.user_config_.pc
usage
You should now have a new slider under Options>Video>Graphics that says "Sharpen" under Texture settings.
Use the linked guide above to find out which value is best.
NOTE: This has absolutely nothing to do with the Sharpening filter on the post-processing options screen.
Low sets it to 0, which was the default until patch 1.04.
Ultra sets it to -2, it should only be used for 2k+ resolutions
uninstall
Overwrite with the rendering.xml contained in the backup folder
Known issues
Much like manual editing, the texture slider will continue to look like it's in the low position - in fact it's not set to low.
The sharpening slider will do the same and look like it's set to low, even if you set it to high. This does not affect the nettle effect.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
