WTF. I could not even post a follow up reply from that account to you. Ugh. Well, I've already gone through and tried a number of things with no luck. From verifying game files to removing the "save games" folder and starting fresh. Still unable to achieve the max performance with all settings low as before, and it's obvious the game is running with higher res textures and object detail now. I already gave up lol. Bye MWO.
Yeah, they updated the 'mech model textures a few years ago. Something about recent 'mechs coming out with high textures, and older 'mechs being built with lower textures, so they updated the older 'mechs to the texture standard of newer 'mechs.
They also removed 32 bit support several years ago, so the game is only 64 bit, now. If that means they could bump up the textures, I'm sure they did that, at some point.
