What does Sacred 2 need a high-res texture pack for ???
There are always only so many tiny things to see from above ???
A lot of the newer games are doing this -- having an extra option to install a high-res texture pack which takes up even more space.
Usually, they do this b/c they are really meant for higher-end rigs -- especially ones exceeding the "Reccommended Specs". When a game drops, not everybody can run these settings well.
DDO and Sacred 2: Collector's Ed both have an option to install a High-Res Texture Pack.
BTW, Sacred 2 looks even more fantastic w/ the High-Res Texture pack installed.
