No biggie for me as my monitor is 'only' 3440x1440, and nor do I want to spend 25GB of bandwidth and disk space on cutscenes of all things, but fingers crossed that those who've gone full 4K have more luck. Whenever I click 'download', it just boots up the game and nothing, in fact, downloads, and nor can I make the entry appear in the list of installed DLC.

In a similar vein, there is also a 4K cinematics pack, which ups the pre-rendered cutscene resolution from 1080p to 4K, but I've struggled to get this installed.

Two of us on RPS found that clicking the button didn't seem to do anything at first, but after a few minutes a new 10GB SOW update suddenly joined the Steam download queue. If it's not listed at all, head to this page in Steam and click 'download.' Then, er, wait. You can check whether it's postively, definitely installed or not by right clicking on SOW in your Steam library, clicking properties, then DLC, and seeing if 'Middle-earth: Shadow Of War High Resolution Texture Pack' is listed or not, and if it's got a little white tick and the word 'installed' to the right of the entry. (There is thus a very really chance that a lot of people have been thinking they are playing the best possible looking version of the game even though they are not - the placebo effect can affect us all). Your copy of Shadow Of War will offer the option for 'Ultra' textures whether it's installed or not, but if the pack isn't installed, Ultra will look exactly the same as High. In any case, it's worth a check: the norm does seem to be that you have to go out and grab it. However, a couple of RPSers reported that it was installed, despite their not having consciously done anything to make it so. Join me as I investigate whether installing ten gig of 'Ultra' textures really makes a difference to your nemesising.įirst things first: unless you specifically installed the HD texture pack yourself, you probably don't have it on your PC.

As if 65 gigabytes of PC Middle-earth: Shadow Of War weren't enough, there's also an optional extra, free 10Gb download, comprising what's officially called a 'High Resolution Texture Pack.' In other words, it in theory makes the grime, squalor and butchered viscera of Mordor that little bit more grimy, squalid and visceral butchered viscera-y. You can use the Auto Config option in the Advanced Options menu to have the game determine what settings are best for your PC.You may well already know this, but going on the basis that most of the RPS team weren't aware of it, let's put the word out anew. Your video card memory will be displayed in the bottom-right of this menu and it is recommended that you not exceed a Texture setting higher than what is suggested for your video card. You can check the texture section of the Advanced Graphics options menu in-game to review what the recommended hardware is for each Texture setting. Once the download has completed, you will be able to use Ultra Textures in-game (note that these textures require a fairly powerful PC). From here you can see the HD content DLC listed and you can check the 'install' box to start the download. Select properties and click on the DLC tab. If a download does not start, go back to your Game Library and right-click 'Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor' in the game list. You will see 'Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - HD Content' listed here as a free download and you can click 'Install game' to start the download for this. On the right under the 'Links' section, click the DLC link. To do this, open your Games Library in Steam, find 'Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor' in the game list, and select it. To use Ultra Textures, you must first download the free Ultra Texture DLC.
