Why aren't they documenting these patch notes?  It makes no sense.

I find it weird that some of the most important updates go unmentioned in the patch notes

 

It was a very nice patch though, keep them coming like this and this game is looking at a bright and bloody future.

One thing I noticed last night was that scenery in the distance often looks blurred rather than just being in generally less detail. There were other players talking about similar issues with distant objects looking different & even flickering for some.

I am not sure if it is just the combination of the 'medium settings' & my Nvidia 8800GTS graphics card as other people reported different issues or none at all. Possibly it might even be a glitched setting that might correct itself if I play around with the video options for a while.

It was 'different' rather than 'bad',  so I suppose I will just get used to it until it changes again.

If you can't "Have your cake & eat it too", then how can "The proof of the pudding be in the eating"?

Last night I had issues with trees flickering in the distance... I'm going to try and delete that shader file as well and see if it helps.

I had a similar issue with this, I have the same graphics card.  Last night I updated my video drivers at nvidia.com.  I played for the first time with zero issues.  just an idea.

It's sad that we need such a thread to document the changes from a patch.
