    Also - People are saying 'if you can select Ultra you have the Ultra texture pack' but I was able to select 'Ultra' in-game before clicking 'Install' in the DLC section of Uplay to download the pack.. so I disagree.

    Anyhow, I'm one of those people where Uplay says it's installed but in-game it says it is not.

    Asus V8 Hero Alpha
    I7-6700k
    Gigabyte 980ti G1
    64gb Corsair Dominator Pro DDR4/3k
    Samsung Evo 950 NVME
    I tried but if I uninstall High Res Texture from Uplay then in the game I can't select "Ultra". Max setting in Resolution Texture that I can select is "High".

    I also have this issue. I've seen people tell me they could choose "Ultra" textures without the pack installed and see the VRAM counter increase, so I'm unsure what to think of it.

    While we're on this subject, I wanted to ask everyone else if their icon for Zodiac Killer is different than the others?
    That one has what seems to be a gamepad and I think an arrow on it. I was wondering if it wanted to tell me it wasn't downloaded/installed, but it says it is.

    I'm also having the issue of being able to select 'Ultra' from in-game settings, but Ultra Texture Pack is showing as 'Not Installed' in-game... with no way to 'install' it.

    UPlay has it listed under the installed DLC section, with an uninstall button beside it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the DLC and the game itself. No change.

    Well considering nobody has seemed to give a direct answer to the question, I shall ask it again:

    When starting Watch Dogs 2 and going into the "Premium Content" menu, scrolling down to "Ultra Texture Pack", I find that it says "Not Installed". Yet in the DLC section of my Watch Dogs 2 game menu in the Uplay client, it says I have the "Hi-Res Texture Pack" installed. Considering they are named two different things, it is not clear if the high-res texture pack and the ultra texture pack are different. If they are not different, why is it saying that I do not have it installed? Is the game able to access the texture files that are downloaded even though the pack is listed as "not installed" in the "Premium Content" menu? Is it true that if you can set your texture quality to "Ultra" that means that the pack is installed and accessible by the game?

    Hopefully someone can answer this now and we can figure wtf is going on lol.

    Just wanted to say don't get your hopes up with the high res texture pack, I have it installed and all settings maxed with +100% Extra Detail, the graphics are what I would call normal for a PC game these days, and worse for a newly released game. Without the high res texture pack I guess the game would look like GTA V on Medium settings.

    My graphics card is GTX 980Ti 6GB,but the same problem in my game and can't select "Ultra" at Texture Resolution setting .
    Maybe the issue occurs only on UPlay key.
    I hope this problem will be fixed soon.

    Hello all,

    I apologise for the confusion and the naming of the texture pack. I can confirm, just as "Rawrena" has mentioned before, the High Res Texture Pack and Ultra Texture Pack is he same thing. Here is a link to the FAQ on our Support site that may help clarify the issue further. Please note the first line:

    " the Ultra Texture Pack - or High Res Texture Pack, despite the slightly different name, we are talking about the same content "

    Thanks
