{{mm}} [https://www.nexusmods.com/tomclancysghostreconadvancedwarfighter2/mods/1?tab=files] 8K-Remastered Textures. Attention, the instructions may be faulty in some cases.  Inside the directory Local, if you do not have a folder named English, create one. Them put the texture files inside the Folder TEXTURES. Afterwards, the game might revert to the setting of low for textures. Change the setting to high. Don't forget to patch the executable to address more than 2gb memory if on 64 bit Windows. you can use nt 4gb, here https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371
