Fan Offered to Fix Total War Warhammer 3 for Free, But Developers Refused for a Strange Reason
Some are tired of watching systemic problems.
Recently, a well-known modder in the Total War Warhammer 3 community said that he offered the game's authors free fixes, but they refused.
According to Dead Baron, Creative Assembly explained that his solution would increase the "weight" of TW Warhammer 3 too much:
«The textures for the races from the old games are oversaturated and look like garbage, STILL covered in red dots in some places. YES, Creative Assembly, THEY ARE STILL THERE! I have been manually fixing these textures for the past year and offered to give the textures to CA, telling them that I don't want ANY PAYMENT, to which they replied "no, it will increase the size of the game file too much". I checked and compared the textures on my side, reassembled the data package with my textures, and the size increase was barely noticeable. My process of creating these corrected textures did not increase the size of the textures at all.
They suggested that I used AI to scale up the textures, but I didn't. I did it MANUALLY, combining diffuse and specular effects in Photoshop, sometimes even redoing material maps because they looked terrible».
Fans have a theory: work on the graphics of Total War Warhammer 3 could have been outsourced and there are some contractual restrictions, such as a ban on not using fan-created patches.
