Hello everyone,

 

since the patch from yesterday I am imagining better graphics for my Xbox 360 while playing. Is this true or am I just wishful thinking? :)

Seems to be the case on PC also... The textures look better. I thought that it's just my imagination.

They're loading textures differently I believe.

For me they looked better to.

I doubt it looks better on the 360 post patch, since the improvement pc players see wouldn't help 360 users.

I've felt the same playing on PS3 since the patch...  Things look more detailed and colorful.  And distant backgrounds are more in focus.  Movement also seems faster/smoother.  Still not certain it's not my imagination, but I'm noticing something.

There is a bug in the patch that is locking the shader quality at the lowest setting on PC (apparently it was previously locked on the ultra setting, even when choosing low mesh quality in the options).

The graphics are actually worse. They're working on a hot fix to restore the intended behavior, and there's already a workaround to force the correct shader quality level.

I haven't seen any information on whether or not there were any graphical changes for the old consoles (or the PS4 for that matter). There's nothing in the patch notes that would suggest it, but that doesn't really mean anything.

Hmm there's a work around for that? It's in about 30 threads. Once applied yes things run smoother.

Yes, they confirmed the issue and posted a workaround in the announcement thread.

Since the previous version was locked at ultra for everyone, the game may still look worse after the workaround unless you're playing with mesh quality on ultra, but it could actually perform somewhat better now (and it will look and run the same on ultra as it did before the patch).
