do you know where the option for "Enable Hires Textures" went?

AFAIK that was written for the Doomsday system hires texture replacements.

It's Build engine's sector light mode ported and tweaked to work in the Doom engine.

Graphic problems in Vulkan mode still remain (but happen much less often), sometimes the screen freezes in GZDoom (only the task manager helps), also my CPU is 50-60% loaded

Edit:

I Fixed the issue with Hi Res Textures not working with the latest version of Gzdoom.

For anyone looking for a solution, here is mine, Any PK3 file used must have the identical path in the picture under (Moo) and the .PNG files must be truecolor converted only, and their extensions must only be .png for it to work. this is how i got mine to work, though depending on the size of your hi res textures, when doing this you must disable the high quality resize mode due to memory limits.

The flats seen on the border and the text screens seem to be larger, as they were different in the previous version. Is there a way to revert the flat scale on the border and the text screens?

Thanks dude this worked for the most part. However, if the PK3 has multiple textures folders to be used for different games like AltDHTPv1.3.pk3 they will not be recognizable and only the files from the root texture folder will be used.
e.g. Doom 1 sky textures will be 2's instead. Is there any fix to this apart from using an old version?
Sorry, I just registered to comment this, I'm a complete newbie without any coding or modding knowledge, pardon me.
