As we’ve already claimed in our PC Performance Analysis, NieR: Automata suffers from a lot of low-resolution textures. Thankfully, this may change in the near future as Steam member ‘GPUnity’ is currently working on the first HD texture pack for it. And while this pack is still in alpha stage, GPUnity has released a version of it to the public.
This Texture Pack requires Fix Automata Resolution mod in order to work properly. In other words, players will have to use FAR’s support for custom textures in order to use these brand new textures.
Those interested can download GPUnity’s Texture Pack V0.25 from here.
Contrary to other modders, GPUnity has also shared the following screenshots to showcase the differences between some of the default and the brand new textures. As such, you can get an idea of the changes prior to downloading and installing the pack.
There is currently no ETA on when the final version of this texture pack will be released, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy!

Very Good.
PC Wins!!!
Except for, you know, it runs like hot garbage.
Disabling global illumination isn’t really a fix. I love the game, but the port is junk.
Don’t defend bad ports.
Reducing to normal lvls is. Don’t be an idiot.
Why the name calling? Name calling is for small minds that cannot produce a real argument. I’m confident you can do better than that.
I am sorry for not living upto your expections;
Oh! Wise Sage!
You don’t have to disable it outright to see significant performance gains.
TBH, there’s two kinds of poor performance: the kind that overkill hardware and mods can fix, and the kind that is so borked nothing can save it. Fortunately, Nier, for all its faults, is in the former camp.
why are you bringing consoles into this?

Makes you sound like a chick who just got her hair done, and keep trying to remind everyone about it.
Glorious!!
Nier is a weird one as some of the textures are razor sharp.. and then you have stuff things that are so bad that you stop to wait for the game to load the ‘real’ texture… only for nothing to happen.
Put the two side-by-side and contrast them with the quality character modelling/design and you have a game that often just doesn’t look quite right. Though given that some of the art was outsourced to an Indian company perhaps that’s not surprising.
Completely unecessary discrimination of indian people, outsourcing is almost always undesireable since the main team is not working on the project anymore, generally bringing down the quality, no matter what type of people are working on it. Btw i’m not indian, I wonder if the guys who made that Batman mess port were from India too. LOL
I raise the point as I have a personal connection to India, having worked there. In fact I’ve applied to the company in question and was surprised when I recognised their name in the credits.
Though the issue here is less that they are Indian, and more that their art doesn’t culturally mesh with the blatantly Japanese art direction of the character models.

“A port is a port even on steam!”
just look at that sand texture…
Sh*** Enix 0 Modders over 9000
Omfg nasty vanilla textures wtf.
Good game but technically is a mess, the port is awful and the support inexistent. GG Platinum Games & Square Enix
What year is this ? 2006 ?
1995.
fix the goddamn frame rate issues S**t Enix
As good as that mod is, it’s made almost useless due to how badly the game runs for some out there.
SE lied about talking to AMD/nvidia and they’ll likely lie when FF XV turns out to run like crap.
Did SE ever even bother to patch this game to address the issues reported by some gamers?
Well, that’s a hint and a half for you Final Fantasy fans anyway. Don’t pre-order or buy FF XV right on release until you see how the game runs. They might not care enough to patch that game either.
Nope. The game still hasn’t received a single patch yet and their talk about getting in touch with Nvidia/AMD turned out to be a bluff, as they haven’t said anything for well over a month or two now.
I was never going to buy XV day 1, I’ll be waiting till it hits the bargain bin, since I’m not a fan of paying for late Japanese port jobs, especially ones from known publishers who screw things up.
Didn’t mean to refer to you pre-ordering or buying right on release. I’ve observed you have better sense than that, but some gamers……well, I better shut up now. It’s none of my business how they spend their money anyway.
And we have what Year exactly? lolZ
