Anyone have an idea how the dark graphics tone appeared?

UPDATE: The problem persists on Vulcan too.

Here is a before/after picture:


I haven't logged in since a long time and have updated the graphics driver. Is this a new patch or game/graphics settings related?

I would very much like to know this as well, seems few are affected or people just don't notice it?

Good to know I am not the only one. Btw have you updated the graphics driver before downloading the update?

I also re-downloaded the pack file from the torrent, but it is still the same.

Yes i've tried eveything, nothing fixes it unfortunately.

What is your video card? Mine is 1050 Ti.

Gtx 970, maybe it's Nvidia driver related? I'm surprised there aren't more posts about this, i mean it's pretty noticeable and makes the characters look quite bad.

My character looks the same as always, vega 56 here.

I am using the latest driver - version 430.86.

That is why I expect more people would report this if it was the reason indeed since it's the most recent driver.

Btw, I remember I have seen this lighting corruption before too. And it went away by itself with some game patch.
