@sikkandtired Benchmark looks good but its not up close like in game so I cant be certain its not there too. All the clothes, gun textures, car exterior/interior decals, and just general surroundings up close look extremely blurry like im playing on very low settings when I have everything set to ultra. Im also crashing quite a bit especially when I get to a new area. I feel like there is something wrong with the game loading new textures in that is causing the blurriness and crashes combined. Playing on a 3080, I7-8700k 5ghz OC, 32 gig ram, and nvme for reference. Gonna uninstall the HD textures that some are suggesting in other posts.

@regzieeex The texture streaming system in the game is definitely bugged. This is an issue people are having both with and without the HD Texture Pack enabled.

@ubi-karl I am also having the issue with textures, they look horrendously bad no matter what settings I use, I've reinstalled the game twice now, tried the texture pack on an off and also reinstalled that as well. I managed to boot the game up once and it looked fine on one of my weapons, then I changed gun and it went back to looking like mud. It only seems to be on weapons, my characters arms, clothing/gear, amigos and some characters such as Lita in in the intro. Any ideas?

@regzieeex Many people are having this issue it would seem, based on the number of threads about it throughout the forum.

@akira1364 16 gigs of VRAM for HD textures?!? Yo, wft lol. found this after the initial thread I commented in got deleted. That cant be right. I uninstalled the HD texture pack and now have significantly better textures but they dont look anywhere near ultra textures and I have 10Gb of vram on my 3080. Far Cry 5 looked significantly better than this game which cant be right.

I also have the same weird textures bug, that doesn't load. The textures concerned are the ones on Guapo, on clothes, on weapon, on horse, exactly as screenshots taken above are showing it. That's so annoying, it looks so bad while I'm running the game using the Ultra settings...

Specs : RTX 3070, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16gb RAM.

It's so frustrating and awful that I decided to not play the game again until the problem is solved. I didn't even install the HD Textures so I'm running the game using the base textures. I tested pretty much everything and it doesn't change anything. Please do something...

I expected beautiful graphics when I booted the game up for the first time but immediately knew something was off, as others have been reporting and posting there seems to be a bug with textures just not loading in, characters, guns, guapo, clothing, gear in menus etc. for me are all blurry as and look like a PS1 game, aiming down sight on weapons is distracting as the back of the gun looks like mud. I’ve tried reinstalling the full game, same with the texture pack, mixing different settings but nothing is working. I also tried another thread’s suggestion of deleting files from the documents folder but again no luck. Anyone had any fixes for this? It’s really distracting trying to watch cutscenes and such looking so bad.

@regzieeex same here

Mine did the same but I had the HD pack installed even though my pc didn't have the 11gb, once I uninstalled the Hd pack the textures looked way better.

@ubi-karl the workaround is not working for me neither. With the HD texture pack off the textures are fine for a while but they do get extremely low/blurred after 10/15min.

@ubi-nacho Just to make very clear that VRAM is not going to be causing the issue for most people here, and also that the stated "11GB" (also "16GB" elsewhere) requirements are not even remotely close to what the game actually needs for the HD Texture Pack at every resolution in general, here's a set of screenshots I took at 1080P / Ultra with it enabled and the issue present, plus an MSI Afterburner monitoring overlay up on screen.

Great-looking rocks, but terrible-looking Guapo and flamethrower:

Strange "mixed bag" of high-res and low-res textures:

Great-looking tree, but terrible-looking flamethrower:

Great looking everything except for the gun and wooden posts on the left:

Note that in each one of these screenshots, the game is very far from even trying to use the full 6GB my GPU has, let alone an amount as crazy as 11GB or higher.

Having same issues with textures. I uninstalled the HD pack and still get random bad textures on wood surfaces, horses, clothing, weapons, flora, etc.

I'm running around 75FPS with everything on Ultra and RTX on with hd texture pack on. I'm getting the same low grade textures as others. Now I do realize that the pack does say it needs 11GB, but why? My best friend also got this game today and is experiencing the texture problem and he has a 3090. UBISOFT we need a fix on this issue as a top priority. There is no reason that I can run all games at Ultra settings with everything on and get excellent performance except on the last three major releases that were released by you; AC Valhalla, Watchdogs Legion, and now this. I buy a ton of games every year, I can name several this year that are more intense graphically and I have none of these types of texture and performance issues.

Mix of very low res and high res textures. Dani's hands, gear and animals' textures don't appear to be loading properly. The clothing and faces of characters look very low quality sometimes. HD Textures and DXR are off.

@dennislocke71 exact same issue cant figure out a fix

@flubberfok yeah I also tried with the pack turned off but it didn’t look any different, also tried reinstalling the whole pack and nothing. Sucks really cause I specifically bought this game on PC instead of my PS5 cause the PC trailer made it look great on PC, now I’m left with it looking terrible cause almost every texture on the game looks like rubbish. Hopefully they fix this asap.

@ubi-mark having the same issue no fix has worked yet, I have an MSI RX580 with 4gb vram, Ryzen 3600x, 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2133mhz ddr4 ram, Resolution 1920x1080p, game installed on an SSD, I thought it might be a vram issue but no matter what graphics settings I use the problems persist.

@foulplayfox This fixed it for me as well. Thank you god sir.
