Not really. We do not know yet, that 8k will only be available in EVE2 on PS5 once they made sure it's feasable and they finally managed to pull off WiS.

This was adressed during Fanfest (briefly as a side comment somewhere). The basic response was that while the high res textures exist, it's fairly complicated to get out to the public in the current process of releasing builds to players. To name a few issues CCP ran into:

1. High-res textures are big and .stuff files can only hold a limited amount of data (which presumably is smaller than the size of a single texture) so bundling the textures with the file system is not possible. That was my understanding of it anyway.

2. The current patching process does not support optional patches (which HD textures would be, obviously) and rolling it out as a mandatory one is not an option because it would be many GB's in size.

I believe there were some others but I forgot what they were. What it comes down to, CCP wants to make this possible but can't due to current technical limitations that are not very high on the priority list to solve.

OP was talking about textures, not window resolution. Two completely different things. Besides, I have all the settings at max yet the textures look minimalistic to say the least. When I look at the ship hangar I think of 640x480, not 8k. I have a 1920x1080 monitor (144 Hz).

No, at first he was talking about screens and then he modified it.

And you pointlessly necro'd a thread and you should have your thingies chopped off.

Ha! :p
