Pixelated Shadows after 1.18b.

[miqokini]

Really? It looks like someone took a crap on that poor kitty.

If by took a crap you mean lathered the kitty in glorious wonder, then yes.

BTW cats don't give a shit about being piled in junk (or, in this case, heavenly wonders).

One day my friends and I piled so much crap on top of my kitten while she was sleeping. She opened her eyes and just gave us this WTF look, then went back to sleep, covered in junk. It was amazing.

As I said, nothing was changed. Drivers are the same. I wonder why only a few of us noticed better lighting and shadows after 1.18. Judging by those that had lag, it was probably an increase and they took it out again for perfomance issues. But it looked so nice.

Hi Buttons,

I've noticed those shadows before 1.18.

But after 1.18, I've noticed heavy transparency flickering during Sandstorms (Thanalan) and a few other instances.

Patch 1.18 had improved shadows and lighting quite a bit. My friends and I were very happy about it.

However today I noticed that after yesterday's patch, shadow quality is lower than it has ever been for me. Shadows look pixelated and just ugly. I checked my settings, still the same.

I checked with other people and they noticed it too. And it is not an issue of your GFX card or drivers, as shadows were still normal yesterday. Could you please re-add the proper shadows we had before.

Um actually, my PC is up to standards thank you very much. If you had actually read my posts you would have seen that I stated that for one week it worked perfectly, the pixelated shadows were gone / not as bad as they are now.

I am perfectly aware that some people have had this issue for months. I just stated that for me and some of my friends, who have really good PCs and never had this problem before, it suddenly appeared today after 1.18b. Yesterday, this was not the case.

Wow.
OK, I'll step into my time machine and buy a graphics card from 2041 which fixes issues with the game itself. While I'm there I think I'll buy a selective virus which will exterminate all capslock spammers on Earth.
