There is no fix. The devs didn't have the time, resources, or money to texture at a higher resolution. Or they thought it would be too much investment with very little return.
I'm glad they didnt.
The story and gameplay are still JUST AS GOOD.
Oh.. oh well, at least I fixed the shadows. But why are there commands like "MinTextureSize=64
MaxTextureSize=4096"
Around if they don't work?

Leftovers from Unreal Engine.

They do work, they just don't do what you think they do.

Because most of the textures simply don't exist at a 4096x4096 resolution due to Bioware not having the time or inclination to texture everything at that res. All that command does is raise the texture size limit, so the few, if any, textures that are 4096x4096 can be used.
I hope Mass Effect 3 looks pretty.

They are an arbitrary limit put in by devs in the unreal engine. They cap and resize texture resolutions over that, in an attempt to increase performance. If the artist went over that limit (which very few textures in me2 did) instead of making a whole new texture, it will resize it for them.

So it's a bad thing that he appreciates art?

I put the textureLODsettings in the documents>Bioware>MassEffect2>BioGame>Config>Gamer Settings?
My armor and clothing textures still look horrible.[/QUOTE]
It's a console port. You need to expect lower resolution textures in a lot of places. You can't just magic more texture detail out of thin air by changing some settings in an ini file.

ME2 looks pretty, it's just limited by a few unsightly textures. And it's a HELL of a lot better than ME1 when it comes to anything graphics related.

A few? Everyone's clothes look terribad.

'n I hope that Mass Effect 3 will top ME1/2 story and gameplay wise.
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;22913771]Graphics whore.
focus on the gameplay and story, that's what the game is about silly.[/QUOTE]
if you'd played mass effect you'd know how blurry and ugly the textures, it's very unpleasant and it has nothing to do with being a graphics whore

Yeah, Mass Effect 1. ME2 has vastly increased graphical polish, and the graphical defects like the aforementioned textures are forgivable.
For example, ME1:

What. Is that a screenshot?
Yes.
The facial textures were well done in me2.
I thought the clothing texture was really nice.. but when I looked again..
