Dragon Age II High Resolution Textures Will Be a Separate Patch

Those of us who intend to pick up Dragon Age II for the PC next week will apparently have to download a separate patch if we want to view the game in its full high resolution glory. So sayeth senior producer Fernando Melo on the official forums:

We will be releasing the high res texture pack next week (Monday I believe).

…

It’ll be a manual download – you will be able to grab it here on the site similar to a patch for DAO. It will come with its own installer etc.

…

Also worth noting that there are new ATI and nVidia drivers due Monday (or Tuesday) I believe, which will increase performance and stability for DA2 on DirectX11 cards.

As soon as the high resolution texture pack is released, we’ll let you know.
