New HD texture packs for Unreal and UT'99 have been released a few days ago. You can find them here: https://sites.google.com/view/unrealhdtextures/home

Also the HD skins texture pack has been updated to "UnrealHD v2". Get it here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/high-resolution-unreal-skins/downloads/unrealhd-v2

Wow! For those old games that already had recieved nice refresh before.

Thanks for the heads-up!

The HD skins texture pack got another update (v2.1) that fixes a serious lag issue when using these textures with Unreal Gold.

Is there a real discernible difference between the high and extreme packs?

Hi, I'm the releaser of the pack. Yes there is a noticeable difference, especially on textures that are stretched over a large area like the grass and cliff walls, etc. Still, I think the High Res edition is the best choice for most situations as it is a great comprise between high quality and performance.
