Thread: High res textures

I recently created a trial account and downloaded the client from http://www.lotro.com/trial/.

Loved the game and very quickly upgraded to a full account via the lotro website.

However, it now seems that I'm running the game with low-resolution textures. I've done some searching and notice that I need a file in my install folder called 'client_highres.dat' to enable high-res textures.

Further searching seems to indicate the only way for me to get this file is to buy the DVD or download the entire game again via this link http://turbine.fuzeqna.com/lotro.sup....asp?kbid=1554.

Neither of these options are terrible good as I've already paid for the game once and don't feel I should buy it again, and downloading another 9GB is going to put me over my download limit.

Do I have any other options? Is it possible to simply upgrade from the low-res to high-res version, downloading only those files that are missing and needed for the better textures?

Thanks.

find someone that is willing to file transfer you that file.
