Since the patch

[Thimble]

Before the patch I could run my gfx settings on max for PvE and only got the occasional fps spike. Though during RvR play I had to drop to "Balanced" or "Fastest Framerate" in order to stop the massive AoE freezing my comp up. However since the patch I'm getting near perfect graphics in PvE and RvR without having to change the settings and I get no fps lag even with all the AoE. But according to my user settings my graphics are on "Balanced". Am I bugged? Cuz if I am it's great
Here's what it looks like for me....though I'm sure it's not "Balanced" as it says it is.

have you done any of those forced settings on you gfx card to improve quality?

AA, AF and what not it is you change?

 

[Thimble]

No I've not done anything. When I first got the game I updated DirectX and the graphics drivers. But I've done nothing since before the patch. I haven't been able to find a full list of patch notes. Was there any graphics changes with the patch or was it just bug fixes?

If you have shadows/grass etc off they're actually on highest quality for some people, including me.. you have to enable/disable them every log on to fix it

you have to enable/disable them every log on to fix it

I've found this to be the case, a lot of settings in this game just do not save

Thinks some programmer forgot to change his files from read only
