I have noticed that hires textures are not working in MP only in SP. But whats more interesting it is not working in SP also when i came back from MP. If i want play with hires textures in SP i must lunch the game again in MP textures never worked for me. Some pictures to explain:
textures in SP after lunching the game

textures in MP

textures in SP same spot as picture one after returning from MP

Hires textures pack was enabled all the time.
In my "game" and "autoexec" cfg files i have "sys_highrestex = 1" but it didnt help at all.
"sys_highrestex" comand in console is not working its unknown for the game too.
Guys could u post if it is the same for u or not and if someone dealth with this problem and how.
I would like to play MP with hires textures thanks.
