Just went into my Nvidia settings and turned AA to 4x (is in game anyways but wanted to make sure) and put AF to x8 or whatever it is and it's back to normal ish just slight dulling down on terrain so I'm happy again.

Until someone posts identical screenshots from the different versions I seriously think your all falling under the power of suggestion.

Me personally, I notice no difference whatsoever.

Well if some people can spot it straight away when installed the patch I've sat looking at the game for hours before installed 1.03 so will have noticed the difference prehaps for some reason it doesn't effect everyone I dont know it did just look different.

I noticed the "cartoon" effect combined with extreme jerkiness (in SP) after installing the patch. After quitting the game, restarting, and letting the shaders re-optimize it seems to have gone away. (Mobile Radeon 9700, 1600x1200, settings all low.)

I was an early poster in this thread and after patching definitely saw a graphics downgrade. I guess I figured the fact that the optimizer ran at start-up made me think it actually optimized properly. I went back later and cleared my cache files and let the game re-optimize and everything was much better. Doing a 1.02 v 1.03 compare gave identical screenshots as far as I could see. Things do feel a bit smoother overall with regard to lag/stutter. For my mid-level rig I trade some performance for a little better graphics.

After the cache clearing I'm a happy non-camper!
