779MB download!!

Also worth getting the V2.17 & V2.18 Hotfixes as they add even more incredible textures + a few bug fixes. Only another combined 103Mb or so giving a total file size of 880MB!!

If you have the high end hardware to run this smoothly you will not believe how even more incredible some of the gfx look.

how high end are we talking to get this running well?

I have an x800 XT PE and 2.5ghz A64 San Diego core and 2Gb DDR?

Will give it a go I think

Is this the mod that improves the faces of the main characters or is it a newer one?

Jackal · 15 Jan 2006 at 10:42

it says on the site, direct X 9 with 256 memory, so thats 6800 and x850 and above, to run it at any decent frame rate, 2gig of memory would probabally help as well

This is the mod that makes Alyx look like a porn star, dont know if thats a bad or good thing. :confused:

IggyStooge · 15 Jan 2006 at 10:52

I think its the mod ive already got then. It runs well enough on 6800GT 2Gb Ram.

holy hell, nice find, does look fantastic!

Yeah looks better if you have a larger TFT you can really notice the increased texture res.

the screenshots do look better, but not really that special, ill give it a go anyway, maybe its more impressive when you actually play it yourself

Apart from the OTT bump mapping on the character models, that looks pretty darn sweet!

What chance of it running on a 256mb 9800XT do ya reckon?

dirtydog · 15 Jan 2006 at 13:40

Meh it's not much better going by those screenshots.

Logsi · 15 Jan 2006 at 14:19

Bloody hard to please aren't you?

DaveyD · 15 Jan 2006 at 14:45

Some of it looks a lot better, others though look quite pants, especially on the printer in that pic, as you can see he low-detail of the printer, it just dosn't look right with it.

But the model detail does look great on NPCs.

Duke · 15 Jan 2006 at 14:45

I think those screenshots were taken before the bump mapping fix was released (about a week ago?)

Here is one I took from playing just now: screenshot 1 | screenshot 2 | more coming later

(Opteron @ 2.8 / ATI X800 XT PE / 2x AA 8xAF)

I expressed my opinion, which I am entitled to do.. if you are accusing me of not being easily pleased then I plead guilty to that. Kindly keep your silly rolleyes to yourself
