Going to be doing a huge test/overhaul with this mod -- for version 1.3! [...] I feel I need to do some bug-testing and come out with a 'better' version of this mod for all languages.

Hey McIndus, I'm happy to hear that you're still working on an update for this mod! I also ran into the known-issue of the Triple Triad game background and card numbers reverting to original low-res textures.

For me: It was working the entire time I was in Balamb Garden in my new game (first 2 hours of playing Disc 1 via Steam+Lunatic Pandora mod). I went to nearly all areas of the Garden, and battled enemies in the Training area.

The mod seemed to fail when I left Balamb Garden, battled some enemies in the grass, forest, and beach outside of it. I didn't notice until I challenged the Queen of Cards in Balamb that the background texture and card number values had downgraded in quality.

In an effort to fix it I have tried restarting the game and launcher several times, then just restarted my computer and nothing has changed.

However, I just tested an older save-game file from the time I was still in Balamb Garden and it still works! Still shows all of the updated textures in Triple Triad. Only my current save-game after the battles is broken.

When I immediately leave Balamb Garden with a good save-game and run to Balamb city and challenge the Queen of Cards my game then loses the high-res Triple Triad background/card numbers all over again.

I think this fits in line with your suspicions that certain places lose the textures (or "hashmaps"?) depending upon in-game location. Hope this helps with your update!
