So I posted a similar thread about a week ago, but none of the suggestions people offered worked for me, so I decided to do a bit of tweaking myself using the configurations found here and here. Unfortunately, the changes to the texture settings didn't seem to fix my low-res textures problem. Is there anything else I can to do to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: This is how my game should be looking, so obviously Dishonored has higher resolution textures, but for some reason, my version isn't using them.

EDIT: Oh, wow. How stupid can I get? Turns out there's an option for texture resolution which was apparently on low. But the setting isn't accessible in-game, which is where I've been changing and checking settings all this time. I really should've checked the main menu settings first. Wow, all that time and effort wasted trying to find a fix for a problem that didn't exist. Sorry guys. :P

Sorry I don't have any ideas what might be problem. I don't have games so it is difficult for me to say anything clever.

Or maybe I do...

You said somewhere that you are playing on laptop, right? The problem with laptops are mainly their drivers not compatibile with games and other stuff. Game developers probably don't like to waste their time on things like laptops. So maybe the fault lies on their side not on yours.

But would you be so kind to tell us what graphic card do you use? Is it integrated? Is it dual?

I don't really think my laptop's at fault here, I'm using a Nvidia GT 630M which can run pretty much any game on low-medium settings. Games like Far Cry 3 and Bioshock Infinite run at 60 FPS on high textures with lowered resolution, Sleeping Dogs runs beautifully too, though I'm not sure if that's something worth boasting about as Sleeping Dogs was apparently designed to run even on the worst of computers.

I'm not specialist so all that I do here is pretty much guessing...

But I do think that performance may differ between the various games. For example I never had any problems with playing Saints Row III on details... let's say above average… and playing other games not optimized correctly for example… hmm… spectraball is difficult for me even on lowest details....

Hmm... maybe try running game on lowest possible detail and compare the same place. It is strange idea... but maybe?

EDIT: Uh oh and forgot to say mine "AMD Radeon™ HD 7660G + HD 7670M Dual Graphics"

I think my eyes just exploded when I looked at that screenshot :(
TBH I got the GOTY in the price glitch, and havent played that much, but even at max settings I wasnt that impressed with the environment textures.

Haha, you're lucky. It's actually a really good game and the GOTY is definitely worth the $15 on sale, let alone the $4 you got it for. I'm not sure if you made a typo there, but I was quite impressed by the overall graphics, though some of the textures aren't exactly best as you can see.

Yeah I like the overall graphics (characters), but when you get real close to things like dumpsters they look pretty ugly and bland

Hmmm... now that I am looking at this video on youtube... are you 100% sure that's not fault of dishonored being just bad port on PC? This video was taken from one of consoles (XBOX) and it may differ between PC-PS3-XBOX.

I know that looks ultra bad... hmmm... it's not the only place where you see this low-res textures?

I don't have hell of an idea... I wish to help you, but sorry I can't.

Last resort: Try turning off all additional options in software provided with graphic card (like extra antialiasing and stuff like that). But yeah this is probably just blind shot.

EDIT: I've googled this problem and I found this. There is photo that looks crapy just like the one that you posted. It is probably problem with all PC version of DLC.

I just had a look at some PC gameplay (link updated in OP), and it seems I'm the only one with this problem. So perhaps some tweak has gone wrong or maybe SweetFX is interfering with the textures.

I guess I could try uninstalling SweetFX, but it's a bit trickier than just clicking uninstall. If that doesn't work, I could always reinstall Dishonored, but I'd rather not do that as my data is capped.

Though I would still appreciate it if I got some more suggestions as to how I could possibly try to fix it and if you guys could tell me whether you're experiencing the same thing.

You could try resetting everything to default and without mods and see how it is.

I just uninstalled SweetFX and reset the graphics to defaults, no change. :/ Is my only option to reinstall?
