Higher Resolution Textures [Upscaled, less blurry/noisy]

File Notes

WARNING: This texture pack is rather large when unpacked (1.35 GB) and may cause performance issues on some older systems. 

 

I made this pack because the UI graphics look so blurry on a 1080p monitor.

 

This texture pack contains every texture in the game which has been upscaled and has had noise reduction and sharpening, making it less blurry. Fonts are still blurry.

 

The level of upscaling is as follows:

 

UI elements such as the HUD, menus, backgrounds, chat heads, indicators etc. have been upscaled to 4 times the original, making them extra crisp (other than the fonts, couldn't get them to work well).

 

Everything else like textures for 3d objects, people etc. has been upscaled to 2 times the original, this makes a mild increase in visual fidelity but isn't breathtaking.

 

 

I cannot guarantee these will work flawlessly, this is my first venture in to modding Lego Racers 2, so please use at your own risk.

 

 

To install extract the game data folder from the downloaded rar and place it into your lego racers 2 main directory, provided you have already unpacked your game files and patched your game with 

 

 

 

For those interested in the method of how these files were created, I first "converted" (renamed) the game's MIP files to tga, I then ran them through a program called Waifu2x which is an amazing piece of software, then the software took an hour or so to make all the files all crispy looking and after that I turned all the tgas back to MIP and boom, that was that. 

 

 

Here are some screenshot/comparisons of the menus, I didn't get any in-race shots as I have no idea how to position myself in the same way twice.

 

You'll have to zoom in to notice any changes, it is very subtle and was barely worth the effort, honestly.
