Solved: inseri was right, I accidently copied the visualSettings.dat to an incorrect folder, but the reason for the blurry textures was da f***ing GPU. Go to hell intel. In graphics>options on desktop I set it to performance, not quality a few days ago to see the fps change. Actually it performs better with quality, textures load like a charm, and the game has a tiny bit more VRAM to use. Thanks for your time and help, and sorry I didn't realise the textures problem was such a petty cause! Thanks guys ;)
