This is the Abstergo forge with HD textures from the Ezio Collection and model changes.
This is the Abstergo.forge file mod for AC2 PC. Mod contains HD Textures from the Ezio Collection, some model work, giving desmond a unique head and Lucys concept art model.
Installation is simple:
Backup original DataPC_Abstergo.forge
Drop the modded forge into the games file replacing the original.
A follow-up on my comment for "DataPC.bank" :
This one works! By that I mean with only the "DataPC_Abstergo.forge", the game starts with no problems at all and straight away! (does not hang at all)
Started a new game, textures are there, no crash or glitchs.
I don't know if it helps troubleshooting "why" the first one may not work for some but let me know if you need testing.
Good to know, thanks
