    Is It Me OR Is There Been A Graphical Update

    Word of warning, it may just be me... BUT... are the graphics slightly better, lit better or something?

    Don't know why but my graphics seem clearer and also better at further distances.

    Seems slightly more optimized to me, also the FPS limiter is nice for towns, when I go AFK or just wait for a shout with FPS limited to 30 my Graphics card sits in the 50's w00t my room no longer feels like an oven while i wait

    Maybe. I've gotten hit with two DX9 crashes so far, so they did something.

    Every time a new patch comes out the game feels faster and seems to run smoother. I think it has more to do with the server reset they do than it does with the graphics engine. After a few days/weeks it always goes back to normal.

    I don't doubt that they are slowly optimizing everything. I mean, it makes sense. Even the UI is more responsive, it's amazing.

    Hasn't crashed on me yet. I have a GTX580 graphics card, and it always ran good before, but running it in 30fps mode is smoooth. So glad they added this option.

    They been working to make icons sharper. There's better shading going on. They added some lighting enhancements. If you hadn't heard sure there is a slew of people with crashing problems...mostly due to graphical issues seem ATI isolated. Turning off a few in-game settings fixes this issue.

    I really wish they could do something about the major screen tearing if you are not using vsync. Kind of forces you to enable vsync with a third party tool or suffer horrible tearing. Performance is then degraded. The information have yet to try out the new frame limiter though. Wonder if that will help.
