@StripTheSoul: Yes, it's pretty apparent dropping from 2048x2048 down to 1024x1024 with Bruno's textures. I loaded into the middle of Bionis' Leg and noticed immediately how much quality was lost even hundreds of feet away from the nearest mountain. However, I'm in agreement that the stuttering is far worse than the quality loss.
As far as saves, I don't have any close to there currently. But you can find moosehunters saves at the bottom of Bighead's opening post. Moosehunter has them all named by location and playtime. What you have to do is rename one of them to Monado01, 02, or 03 and delete the file extension (windows will have a heart attack about this but just ignore it) and then drop it in your normal save location and overwrite one of the ones there.
@psxlover: Yeah, degasus says we need to have all mipmaps down to 1x1. I'm not sure if its performance related or what.
