About this mod

HD texture overhaul of the game whilst still remaining as close to vanilla in feel / colour scheme as possible. Almost all textures covered. Almost zero 'upscaled' textures, mostly handmade original replacements or selected online resources.

- INSTALLATION -


PLEASE unzip the files after downloading the BETA, and copy all the folder and the .dll into the BepInEx Plugins folder. 

INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP:

1 - Download BepInEx
2 - Download 1 - HD Texture Pack BETA RC2 and extract using 7-zip or compatible software.
3 - Copy the .dll file and folder into your BepInEx plugins folder.
4 - Install Badger's HD Terrain mod
5 - Back on this mod page, you may if you wish download my own HD terrain files (2 - HD Terrain Textures 4K) these are more HD than Badgers but there is a 2K version also)
5 - All over mods are optional, you may install the HD portals mod the HD Skies if you wish. HD Portals requires BepInEx also.
6 - If you wish to install my HD Aurora Skies, you will first need to download Badger's Valheim Skies mod. Make sure you download the special version for Willybach's Skies. 


- PERFORMANCE - 

I recommend using the Boot config file text additions: 

gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
scripting-runtime-version=latest
wait-for-native-debugger=0
vr-enabled=0
hdr-display-enabled=0
gc-max-time-slice=12 (this one is the number of threads that your CPU has)

ALSO - Aedenthorns Custom Graphics Settings mod. In the config file generated after running it once, change streamingMipmapsMemoryBudget from 512 to 4096.







RECOMMENDED MODS:

Seasonality by RustyMods
A mod that adds Seasons, the textures are based off of this texture pack and so work very well together
Badger's Shading Overhaul
Far more realistic shader rendering, removes unrealistic shadow movement and dispersal

ISSUES / TROUBLESHOOTING:

Most people having CTDs, it's usually one of the following:

1 - Using mods that require Bepinex and not using latest version
2 - Using mods that haven't been updated and are therefore causing crash
3 - Using older version of my mod with latest version of Valheim
4 - Their Valheim has not updated for some reason, and so is an older version that my pack won't work with. 

It can be a headache trying to figure it out sometimes, my advice, empty Valheim_data folder of all Bepinex files and any mods. If in Steam do 'verify files' and make sure its totally updated and vanilla files. Then add in my pack manually, making sure it is the right version. Run to see if it works, then download LATEST bepinex and load game again, and then gradually add back in the various mods.
