While a patch has been awaited for four years on the version Steam de Never: Automata, a modder has made an HD texture pack.
Severely criticized since its release four years ago, the Steam version of NieR: Automata showed many problems, including framerate, resolutions and textures. GPUnity, a fan of Yoko Taro's masterpiece, has been dedicated to creating an HD texture pack for so long, recently completed.

A work of titan A2 hands
As we can see in the video introducing this article, it's a titanic and long-term job that GPUnity has tackled. The difference is clearly felt between the very blurred rendering of the textures of the original version and that, much more worked, of this HD pack.
More than 300 textures have thus been updated, whether for the scenery or the characters themselves. While the work done is impressive, it seems that this mod is also light on resources, with an influence indicated as “minor” on performance.
To take advantage of it, however, it is necessary to install another Kaldaien mod, Fix Automata Resolution, which corrected the problems of this PC port instead of an official solution. Solution which is currently in development, after four years of waiting, but whose exact content is not yet known.
Until then, thanks to the excellent work of these two modders, it is possible to enjoy the PC version of this masterpiece that is NieR: Automata in the best possible way.
