    0.219.16d
    UPDATE:
    Latest version now requires BepInEx, to install, unzip the BETA file and copy the folder and the .dll file into your BepInEx plugins folder.

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

    FOR ALL THOSE HAVING ISSUES UNZIPPING AND COPYING THE HD PACK FILES, PLEASE USE 7-ZIP RATHER THAN WINDOWS UNZIP PROGRAM.

    Mod was running great and working completely fine for the last week until today. I launch valheim and my computer completely freezes while the HD mod initializes (Game installed on a SSD, with beefy cpu, gpu and 16gb of RAM). Eventually after 15 minutes the game loads infinitely and I get this in the console:

    [Info   :HD Valheim Textures] Loading HD Valheim textures
    src\steamnetworkingsockets\clientlib\steamnetworkingsockets_lowlevel.cpp (2695) : Assertion Failed: SteamnetworkingSockets service thread waited 58ms for lock!  This directly adds to network latency!  It could be a bug, but it's usually caused by general performance problem such as thread starvation or a debug output handler taking too long.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      Thats nothing to do wtih the mod, looks like some other issue you have. Verify game files in Steam and try it again.

    On a win11 machine with a 14th gen intel CPU and an intel arc b580 with 12GB of vram, the game would not load in vulkan mode, but did eventually load in nonvulkan mode. It looked beautiful, but the frame rates and responsiveness were atrocious.

      Do you use many mods? Also what size monitor. I get 60 fps constant n 1440p and very few mods. 2070 GPU.

      I use plant easily, azucraftyboxes, and the HD mods associated with this mod. I'm using a 1080p monitor. I'm going to try the config changes.

      The config change only improved performance slightly, unfortunately

    Thank you for this amazing production!! Fantastic work.

    On a performance note, does anyone else notice the game takes much longer to load now?
    The game was loading much faster when we installed the mod the old way (Valheim_Data\StreamingAssets\SoftRef\Bundles) 

    im rolling with the amd-9800x3d / 4080 rtx / 64 GB of RAM so it just seems odd the game takes 4x as long. Wasn't sure with the new route, we should uninstall the game completely and redo everything.

      The latest update to the game consolidated most textures into one single bundle file. Unfortunately that means that packing the mod in the old way would cause a crash on loading the the bundles. The only way around this was to create a new custom bundle and replace the textures at runtime.

      The downside to this is that loading the textures will take a little longer than usual. At the moment it's the only way we can provide the HD mod to you. The upside is that the mod is now far less likely to break on game updates.

      With that said, we did extensive beta testing and the results were very promising with regard to load times. Basically you should expect around 15-20 seconds from an NVME, 20-40 seconds from an SSD, and 40-180 seconds from a mechanical HDD.

      If your times are way outside any of the above I would encourage you to join Willybachs Discord where we would be happy to look at any issues.

    Hi! First of all, thanks for the great work sir! Just have a quick question: I wanted to install Seasonality too, but the mod creator notes on the mod page:

    "Compatibility with Willybach's HD Texture Pack
    If you are using Willybach's Texture pack, make sure to download his custom seasonality textures"

    Whenever I click the link to the custom seasonality textures, I get the notification:

    "Hidden mod - This mod has been set to hiddenHidden at 29 Mar 2025, 2:47PM by willybach for the following reason:
    This mod is temporarily unavailable while the mod author updates the mod page information."

    So just wanted to ask if you have any updates about your seasonality textures yet?

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I also noticed another problem, since installing the HD Texture pack, my character has green eyes. Can I somehow change them back to vanilla white?

    Great work! It's probably the only one Valheim texture pack made with such quality.
    I have a question - will You make medium preset like older versions? (My GPU have 8gb, but I'd love to use 4GB version, because I play with mods)

      Lower versions are planned - after the current version will be deemed stable enough

    This mod is amazing, but i must say that game loading time has increased from maybe 5-10 seconds to 45-60 seconds...and if i start clicking during that time, game will stop responding for a few seconds until it loads all files/textures etc.
    My pc is quite good, Ryzen 5800X3D, RTX 3080ti, 32gb 3200mhz and SSD M.2. NVME.
    Is this normal behaviour or can something be done to speed up loading time ?
    Mod is installed correctly as per tutorial guide and i changed .ini file in Boot config.

      Yes, increased loading times are normal - it's a trade-off that makes the whole mod possible.

    Hey, Willybach. Im new to Valheim and am having a bit of trouble getting the mod to work. I believe I am doing things correctly, but Im not 100 percent sure. D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BepInEx\plugins. Then I add the folder HDValheimTextureData and the .dll file. Then I have Badgers HD terrain mod folder, and its .dll along with his skies mod and .dll (the right one compatible with yours)  all in the same BepinEx Plugin folder (3 folders and 3 .dll files), but I'm getting an infinite loading screen, and I do mean infinite. I've left it alone for 10-15 minutes and nothing. 

    Am I doing something wrong?

      Best thing you can do in this instance is join Willybachs Discord where you can post your logs. Should be easy enough to get to the bottom of your issues.

      I re-verified my cache and started from scratch, then tried again, and It worked. Maybe I screwed up before, but I got it working now, and it looks beautiful!

    I cannot seem to get the full textures to load after the beta download. I only have a few of the wooden bits working. Like the 2m works, the beehive and wooden fence all work as well as all of the terrain textures for the most part. I also have an issue where some birch trees work but others do not. The middle of the small wooden door works but the sides are default, any reason why or a fix?

      Do you have custom textures mod installed? Due to the new method of replacing textures the mod is no longer compatible with it. However the mod does have built in support for replacing textures. If you have any questions about this join Willybachs Discord and we can explaiun further how this works.

    First of all: thanks for your great work over all that time! 

    Sadly, I'm encountering an issue with the current version: :-(
    Starting the game including your mod (pack 1 only with performance recommendations, most current BepinEx & Badger's HD terrain) using  default game option (presumably Vulcan), it's changing *most* of the textures.
    Some won't get changed though, namely most of the wall pieces (wood / stone). For example, the 2m vertical simple beam is working fine, the 1m still is looking vanilla. Exactly the same when forcing D3D11 or Vulcan.

    If I'm starting the game with forced D3D12 it isn't getting past the "Loading HD textures" screen at all.

    What I could notice: VRAM consumption went up to 10.5GB of 11GB, but not past that. (I think that's a limitation of my graphics card; I remember some kind of scandal back then... ;-))

    My system: i9900k, 32GB RAM, RTX 2080ti, 4k UHD, ~60FpS with mods active.

    Installation was executed using Vortex on a fresh game installation. Tried multiple HD-Pack re-installations as well.

    Do you have any suggestion what I could do to fix the issue?

      Aaaah, that's it - thanks!
      (Seems to have been a dependency of some other mod, so I forgot about it...)

      FYI - this very mod now has built-in custom textures support, you just need to move your textures in the BepInEx\plugins\HDValheimTexturesData\CustomTextures folder and re-name them properly, since the name format is slightly different
