Holy Craptic! My Graphics Look Horrible!

Cryptic,

What did you do to the graphics?!?!
The new fangled graphics have made everything appear with jaggies, even on the highest settings. I have adjusted all of the settings & nothing I do makes an improvement.
My graphics look like S**T! :mad:

I've got a fairly new PC that is a race horse. It has dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti vid cards running in SLI mode. Each card has 2GB of GDDR5 memory. So, yes, I have a total of 4GB of vid memory so there is no reason why my graphics went to s**t.

Whatever you did, please fix this ASAP!

    OK turning off cinematic focus helped a little but it's still not as good as it used to be

    Thanks for the tip - the game looks almost as good as it used to now. I felt like I was looking at the game through one of those soft focus lenses they use for actors who want to appear younger looking. :rolleyes:
    My main character is T'Les which was also my former forum name and I want it back! Hylarr is one of my alts.

    Thanks for this, I was wondering why everything seemed to be a bit blurry.

    Graphics still are not working correctly
    Today this happened
    Everything else looks great but now my ship looks like TRIBBLE :( :mad:

    Edit: turning off postprocessing fixed it

    Yeah the postprocessing thing is the major cause of all problems. Cryptic touched it, and now it look like TRIBBLE when it is activated. Too much illumination and to many fuzzy lines around the objects.

    Deactivating cinematic depth of field only will fix the objects in the distance, but not the ship and the closer objects. To get rid completely of that fuzzy aspect its necessary to deactivate the postprocessing.

    The other problem is that the normal mapping and bump mapping seems to have been broken, so all the textures look like they were painted onto a flat surface.
