When the classic shooter Unreal came out in 1998 it was praised for its rich graphics and innovative gameplay. Rediscovering these great old-school gems is tons of fun, and what better way to do it than with some crisp and beautiful graphic updates. This HD texture pack along with the HD Skins mod makes Unreal truly shine!
There have been HD textures available for Unreal for a long time now, but it was a work in progress. DiehardSCSW started the project, and did a whole lot of great work which is included in the pack. In January of 2019 I decided to take on the job of fully completing the Unreal Retexturing Project (URP). I had done some HD textures for the URP way back in the past. In terms of the scale of the texture pack - It's pretty big. There are well over 2000 textures in the project and more that half still needed to be remade in HD or fixed up.
There is a version of this pack that is server compatible with Unreal (227) and also Unreal Tournament (UT99). The texture pack is mainly intended for Unreal single player, but many single player mods run on the UT99 platform, so it exists for both. This release does not intend to cover all of UT99s textures- just the ones in common with Unreal. Maybe I'll take on the UT specific textures in a future pack...

Throughout the process of making this release, I have been collaborating with Lightning Hunter, who has done the HD Skins mod. He is also releasing a 2.0 version of that mod, so please check that out and use it with this pack!

Keeping Unreal Alive!
That's just Unreal (laughs on the inside)...I'll leave
Congratulations on this release! I've already been enjoying it for a while now, and all your work is much appreciated! :)
Man, simply outstanding! This is just marvelous! Thank you for all your hard work!
Is this infiltration friendly ?
im getting an error:
encountered oversize textures without sufficient mipmaps.
im using the latest updates with the unofficial patch and updated drivers i can select d3d8/9 too idk if this is causing problems but every driver with the non-comptable too, i did check if enb is there but i removed those files i think :(
Give the opengl driver a try. Is it Unreal227? Also make sure S3TC is set to true in whatever driver you are using. You can also try the "standard Edition" as it is easier on the video card. The "Extreme 4k" version can cause the game to crash so try a smaller version.

Amazing job mate, i would install Unreal again anyway, thanks.
hi man, thanks for your amazing work!...Unreal is one of the best game ever made for me, and it deserve more attention today! I have tried your HD pack, very impressive, but some textures seems to be not full HD (for example the mountain in the second level near the end seems to be poor; it's look like a little bug [not a computer's bug :-) ] is on it but with very poor definition. Second, I have a gtx 1080, and the game sometimes drops the fps ( i have installed last version of HD skin). Can you halp me?
thanks a lot
Hello stranger, glad you are enjoying it. About the mountain or cliff texture you mention, that one always looks a little less HD than we would like because it is stretched so large. Those textures and the grass in particular look best with the 4K version (on my website-see above). But using the 4K textures will drop your framerate down even more. There is always a compromise!
hi AHaigh01,
thanks for your amazing work!!!!.....ok I'll try 4k resolution texture and see with gtx 1080 how the frames drops will be.
Thank you for keeping this mod up with such a amazing videogame ! I still think Unreal looks sweet to the eye.
Thank you!!!
how to make tesselation, bump mapping and height map?
