Possible Solution To The Texture Problem

All the pictures are just a Example

1.What if you use a 2k resolution on consoles instead of a 4K resolution.
2. Scenarie in the background as in photos as an example (things that the player almost does not see) that you limit the textures there to 360p or lower.

3. Houses are short as an example, when there is a skyscraper in the distance, that you only see the top and not what is on the floor (see the first picture)
3. Delete the scenery that the player doesn't see anyway like smaller buildings or tracks or cars etc.
4. The deletion of unnecessary things behind the player barrier such as cars that stand where you don't see them at all and also houses that you don't see,

sounds like a bad fix, no offence

going through every route to lower certain assets sounds like a very long time, better to focus on finding a solution rather than this kind of workaround

2K and 4K, not too sure on this but it should be a setting not an imposed lock

the texture issue for me on xbox series x (the one where things go low res) I haven’t had in ages, I think I saw it once a while back for a few seconds and so I don’t see why any changes would need to be made what affects such a console.

 

The game does this all ready

I don't think any thing in the game uses 4k textures.

Texture streaming is built into unreal engine. So your will only be loading textures in the current cell.
Hence the lag time when you jump to back of your loco if it's real long.

Texture mip mapping is already a thing and built into unreal engine distant objects won't have full resolution textures.

Culling is also a thing and is already built into unreal engine.
Which means if you can't see a object your GPU won't be rendering it.

Modern rendering has all sorts of tricks and hacks to save on performance.
Ps4 and xbone are just really old.

PS5 and Xbox whatever it's called are starting to get old and the lack of memory hurts them alot.

 

well, this texture problem, there is only some routes not on all

 

Well, I can only speak for the ps5. And yes, the problem there is there is only 4K and HD/but this texture problem is not everywhere, only a handful of dlc are affected (Cologne, Rosenheim, Dresden Riesa.dresden Chemnitz etc.)

 

This would be like taking 3 steps back to take a step forward. Not sure at all this would be a great way to resolve issues.

 

Yes, that's just a rough suggestion. Because well, as mentioned, not everyone has the problem.
