Odd "dimming" of dropped treasures

After an hour or so of PC play, I notice that dropped treasures no longer sparkle to call attention to themselves, in much the same way they do if you ignore them and leave them on the ground for a while. I cannot figure out why this is happening, but I'm sure I'm missing possibly valuable stuff that flew out of various monsters as they died...Any ideas?

    This also happens to me on the PS4, but only after playing for an extended period of time... or if I do anything that tends to freeze the screen/has lots of particle effects (i.e. WOD dragon run). It's usually resolved for me by shutting the system down for a minute and restarting.

    Yes, when I notice this starting to happen, I try to restart the client as soon as I reasonably can so that it will be normal again for a while. It is particularly annoying on the Siege map as the vouchers can be really difficult to see if they're not lit up.

    After about 2 hours of play I would be forced to logout and restart the game to regain the normal visuals in the game. Even the quest guide waypoints are not visible and loot can not be seen unless very close to it due to lack of Shimmer/Shine or Sparkles. Once the restart of the game is complete the game visually is normal for awhile. Noticed lately since the last patch that there is increased delay in the ability to pick up loot or even to have it appear on the screen. Speaking to NPC's while gathering and turning in quests is also delayed as well.

    I'm glad that others are seeing this and I'm not simply a victim of my own settings...still no Cryptic response, though.
