    Pixelated Shadows after 1.18b.

    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.

    Example of pixelated shadows:

    Recap:

    Old issue. I however never had it before. Now after 1.18b it suddenly appeared.

    1.18: Shadows and lighting improved. Looks amazing.

    1.18b. Shadow quality in-game is lowered. Wondering why this is the case. PC and gfx card drivers did not change over-night.

    Same. It's really annoying and I hope they can fix it.

    Same here, even with shadow details on max.

    I kinda just got used to it and don't even notice anymore.

    I know some people always had it. But I never had it, I take hundreds of screenshots for my blog each time I play so I definately know.
    For those people with fancier PCs they did not have these shadows. Patch 1.18 actually significantly changed shadows and lighting in the game. And now after 1.18b it seems it has reverted to something awful. :/

    After 1.18a, I've had nothing but lag. I had almost everything on high, but I had to change all the settings to standard to get a decent frame rate.
