Texture Streaming/Mip Distances

IchII3D

I'm working on a project and trying to push visual quality, unfortunately UDK is setup by default to MIP textures extremely aggressively. I have noticed a lot of people having this issue and they simply set the texture group to UI. This isn't really an option for me as I still want to help performance. I have searched everywhere for how to control this and came up short.

I had a similar issue with lightmaps which I managed to resolved with these settings.

LightmapStreamingFactor=0.1 (default 0.03)
ShadowmapStreamingFactor=0.1 (default 0.03)

But my texture MIP issue is really bad. Here is an image to show what it currently looks like against how it should look.

You could try going into the INI file and editing the texture streaming settings so that they don't stream out as much. Here's some info:

or you can run the game with the texture streaming turned off. Just add these flags to your game shortcut:

-MAXQUALITYMODE -NOTEXTURESTREAMING

These flags turn off streaming entirely.
