Default #Carmageddon 2 24bit to 16bit (#BRender RGB565 pixelmap) texture conversion VS dithered RGB565. While it's ok in original 640x480, the dithering pattern becomes too annoying in hires. Should give it another try with noise rather than pattern diffusion. 
The impact is most noticeable on the door and the rear bumper. IMO the textures are too small anyway to take advantage of the effect.
Also tried enabling #BRender dynamic dithering on those material (while disabling map interpolation) but as expected it didn't work in Glide mode.

Installed good old Photoshop 7 to be able to use Graphest DepthDither, great plugin!
The real tragedy with #Carmageddon 2 textures: if there is an alpha channel the texture will be converted to #BRender's RGBA4444, so even less info per channel than RGB565 and thus more banding. This is why car images in the menus are this poor quality 🙃
