A modder has recently released a must-have HD texture pack for Nier: Automata, and it overhauls over 300 textures within the game, giving a fan-favorite RPG new life.
GPUnity, the creator, has been offering texture packs for Nier: Automata since late 2018. The pack initially included improvements to A2 and 2B and added some improvements or updates to some of the textures in the game. GPUnity has released a final version of their texture pack, which will affect over 300 textures in the game.
The new pack, named the HD Texture pack Version 1.0 , aims to fix the low-resolution textures and maintain visual consistency for the best playing experience. Also, for those who play on lower-specced systems, there is also a “lite-version” of the texture pack available designed for those systems.
The new pack requires players to have Kaldaien’s FAR (Fix Automata Resolution) mod installed. This mod allows for texture injection, making GPUnity’s pack workable within the game. Those who use the Window’s Store Version can alternatively use Special K to allow the texture pack to work.
Since its release back in 2017, Nier: Automata on Steam has been facing some issues, particularly the lack of ultra-widescreen support. It also suffered from uneven framerates and general instability issues. This is disappointing as the console versions of the game seem to work just fine. But, it is not uncommon for PC ports to face these issues as some publishers tend to focus on the console development more than the PC version.
For those who don’t wish to install the texture pack, Square Enix announced last month that the Steam version of Nier: Automata would be receiving “some form of an update soon.” No details have been shared as to what this update would focus on, but it is most likely that it will address the heavily criticized framerate issues.
