    Halo lets you choose to not install the 4k textures in steam? And they use the dlc system to present that option? That doesn’t sound like it would be super clear. But I’ll check it out and see. Which halo?

        Ok, yeah. That’s reasonably clear. More games should take advantage of that. It could probably also still be done similar to how other launchers do it too, but looks like the DLC system can at least handle it for now. Honestly, it’s better that it’s an opt-in system than an opt-out. Very few people still tend to play games at a resolution and with hardware that truly benefits from having textures set to ultra. Especially for competitive shooters, since hitting your monitors max refresh is more important. The hardware to hit 200+fps at 4k with ultra textures is basically only the people whose videocard cost more than the rest of the computer combined, likely double.
