Just a quick post- as it has happened twice now-
New update needed to have its settings forced on it.
What you do-
Go to Advanced Graphic Settings=>scroll to bottom 3 sliders; move them to another position. (For me I knock em all 2 down from the right).=>Hit CONFIRM.
Now just put em back where you want them/(where they were)=>Hit CONFIRM.
Voila/,…Enjoy
(Will only apply as a fix for some people. No need to complain if it didnt help your ongoing issues-this is just a fix I seem to have to do everytime I run an update to make the game ‘great again’)
My procedure for updating is to copy updates /game backup from another drive(that received the download). I delete KCD folder/ Uninstall before hand but the user folder files remain. I believe the game shows our settings but gets the sliders potentially wrong (until we force it to refresh itself; possibly updating another file somewhere that the game uses to set lod detail/vegetation/draw distances)
