If anyone have time and skill - you could create normal and height maps for upscaled textures like in another games with this renderer

Installation procedure

1. You need to download and install Unreal Engine DirectX11 renderer for this upscale pack to work. Just be sure to follow installation properly.
2. Install The Wheel of Time ESRGAN Upscale Pack by unpacking the archive into the game folder.

Compatibility

This mod just upscales textures, it should be compatible with anything

Possible Bugs

I tried to recheck textures for transparency and also didn't upscale some effects and decal textures. But some transparent textures could cause visual artifacts if I missed them and upscaled them as non-transparent textures. It's just a warning. I played through the entire game and only bugs I encountered I fixed in 1.1 version.

In case you are experiencing them just create a screenshot and upload here, I will fix it. Or you can find these particular texture in mod and just delete them.

Jaggy polygons, dancing/moving on camera angle change
This is because of tesselation, which works somewhat funny in this game. You could try to leave it on, but I didn't noticed any huge improvements. Try it for yourself. In case you want stable picture, disable it in System\WOT.ini from game folder

Tesselation=False
