We all know that the world of video games on PC is a bit on the ball. While consoles tend to be much more closed experiences, the nature of a computer allows any user with minimal computer skills, and a lot of common sense to know what they are playing, to transform the way we see or enjoy any title. And Elden Ring is not going to be an exception.
Add all the textures in the world
The fact is that the custom of creating mods for PC games is so old that it is lost in the annals of history. For example, remember the case of Doom and those WAD files that radically changed the maps , the characters and even the sounds. Memorable and for posterity was that “Chiquito de la Calzada Edition” that already in the 90s, and without social networks, practically became a meme.
But we return to 2022 and to Elden Ring , one of the hits of the year, to dive into a mod that substantially improves the visual quality of the FromSoftware title. A wonder that bears very little criticism and perhaps, one of them, is the poor quality of many textures, which do not seem to squeeze the maximum resolution that our PC graphics are capable of displaying on the screen. So if you want to see those forest leaves, building walls or trees as they should have been from the beginning, leave room to install the mod that we bring you today.
It has been, once again, the community that has worked on a mod that transforms more than 4,500 textures with medium quality into higher resolution graphics, 4K and 2K, respecting the spirit of the originals and almost always starting from the model that we can see in Elden Ring . In this way, the general perception does not change too much, but the detail does when we approach a building, object or whatever. It is easy to verify that we have gained in definition. Behold…
How to install the Elden Ring mod?
To start, you just have to access the link that we leave you below and download all the packs that the mod has, which we already warned you that there are a few, specifically:
- Armor and Weapons 4K Part 1
- Armor and Weapons 4K Part 2
- Environment 4K Part 1
- Environment 4K Part 2
- Environment 4K Part 3
- Environment 4K Part 4
- Environment 4K Part 5
To install it, you must:
- Find the most recent files of the mod in the link that we leave you below.
- Follow the instructions that come with the files you have downloaded.
- Extract all mod files to the Mod Engine/mod directory.
- Launch Elden Ring via Mod Engine .
In total, we are talking about 78.6 gigabytes of files that essentially increase the quality of all the textures of the weapons, armor and elements that are part of the scenario to true 4K resolution. Obviously, you will have to take into account this additional workload that the graphics card will suffer so, when running Elden Ring , configure it so that you do not lose any performance (no, on Steam Deck it would not be a good idea).
If you see that with the 4K quality your PC sees the speed of execution of the game, another alternative is to opt for the 2K texture packs , which although they do not reach the level of detail of the largest ones, they are already better than practically all of them. those originally brought by the development of FromSoftware.
