A couple of days ago, we informed you about an ESRGAN AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack for Star Wars: KOTOR. And today, I’m happy to report that a similar mod has been released for the second part in the Knights of the Old Republic series, Star Wars KOTOR 2.
This AI-enhanced texture pack is created by Red11BY; the same man behind the pack for the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
According to the modder, this pack features HD textures for every NPC(Human,Alien,Droid) as well as for every male and female armor in the game.
Similarly to the previous pack, Red11BY used ESRGAN to upscale the textures to 2048×2048 resolution. As such, the newly introduced textures look sharper and retain all the art style of the original versions.
The modder also recommends installing his mod first and then replacing specific textures with textures from other modders. The reason Red11BY suggests this is because hand drawn textures are usually better and sharper than the upscaled ones.
Unfortunately, the modder did not provide any comparison screenshots between the vanilla and the AI-enhanced textures, however you can get an idea of what you can expect from it by viewing the comparison screenshots we featured in our previous story.
Those interested can download this 4.6GB ESRGAN AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 from here.
Have fun!

Pictures or videos?
Unfortunately there aren’t even pictures on the mod listing itself.
They must have added them after you checked. There are 18 images now.
oh crap, yeah when I checked there was nothing on the Nexus listing.

why not though?
It doesn’t worth the trouble.
If it’s anything like KOTR 1 mod I’m not interested because that was just meh to me personally. I’ve seen modders do a lot more with 3GB of data, basically change the game completely.
It’s just a simple package of slightly sharper details, what were you expecting?
Its just a texture upscaling. No one is saying this is an overhaul mod. Size is irrelevant. a screen cap of Super Mario Bros takes up more memory than the game, does that mean the picture of the game is better than the game?
No, it doesn’t mean that. I’m just stating my personal opinion. This mod is meh to me personally. Not worthy of an entire article. 2 articles at this point.

edit: Wow. this is ONLY for the characters. 4.6gb for JUST the character texture?! Still gonna try it out.
