OK... no recent changes in my system or settings (save for GPU driver update) As of this weekend I am seeing more graphic effects than ever. At Heyoka Chem Lab, I now see colored clouds (blue!) above the surface of the river. I watched a VS Heavy using a Lancer with a charge-up lightening sparkle on the barrel. Overall, textures look......crisper would be the word. Has anyone else noticed these things or have I just been missing them all this time?
Are you using an AMD graphics card? I updated my driver recently, and using the AMD "game something" program, it "optimized" my game, and changed the settings to a higher resolution and altered some of my other graphics settings. The game looks better, and runs the same, if not slightly better in some instances.
