Two things stand out, 1. NPC's and Mercs that wear plate show many visible armor slots as solid black. most Plate wearers now show chest as solid black along with some legs and wrists. Elves BP is fine but arms are solid black. All zones same thing for plate wearers. 2. The Grass in Moors of Nok is now some sort of rolling giant black and green checkerboard. Everything was great until the DX11 implementation in January. I will try to upload pics here, can't seem to get pics to play here.
Is it like this? That's a pic I took last year on the Test server. At some point those black textures went away for me.
This is still happening. I do love the black and gold on the char select screen! Armour from the 17th Anniversary quest is showing black this year....looks very cool. Nokk chessboard is very annoying.
I can reproduce this effect in Moors of Nokk by changing TextureQuality to 3 in my eqclient.ini file and then launching the client. When I change TextureQuality to 1 and launch the game, this effect goes away. Additionally, many of the blacked out textures get better, e.g. the pedestal type thing characters stand on at the character select screen.
