@cocaine Graphics and Shader programmer checking in. The only quality improvement you get by up-scaling, is on specular maps (the textures that do the reflections) but even this can be easily done via a ingame shader. There's no need in up-scaling and sharpening them if you could just use luma-sharpen with something like Reshade. The only thing this mod does right now, is to use up more VRAM. (Source.
