I came back after a month off and everything with gun play and zoom levels were different. This was probably like a couple of months ago. Now I cant seem to get my settings right, and my whole experience has just been [terrible]. I know they did something, because some of the graphics are different, and such. If anyone can tell me exactly what they did then maybe I can undo it in the settings. Thanks. ---

They didn’t do anything. Sounds like your settings get defaulted or wiped or whatever, but nothing happened to anyone else I know of, sorry ---

IIRC there was a time a long while back where the visuals had an apparent “downgrade” not too long after BF1 launched, And most of the players noticed this mainly on Argonne Forest. Now, I did kinda notice this myself back then but now it’s unnoticeable for me. Can you clarify in what way you think the visuals aren’t as good as they were? ---

Bold of you to assume that DICE would even bother to acknowledge the game’s existence nevermind making changes to it. 😎 ---

They wrecked the lighting around the time they added the night maps, apparently it is better to ruin the visuals on the majority of maps just so you could play 3 set at night (out of 28 or so conventional maps). Whenever you look out a window you get some crazy glow like you’re standing on Mercury or something. ---

Didn’t say the visuals are worse, said some of the graphics look different. Like the objective icons, and the kill indicator. Could just be me, but yea, they look different. ---

Ohhh, my bad. I dont believe anything was changed either way. It could be your settings had been reset to default values in the event of a ui update ---

I’ll be writing them down when I am done also. Thanks everyone.
