Realistically though, how would someone do a side by side comparison of visual fidelity when we don't have access to previous version of the game. I remember seeing a post a while back about a change to the grass textures being lower res and people just dismissing that as being "nitpicky."
Having come back to the game for the 1.0 release I can honestly say that I have no interest in playing it at the moment. In it's current state the game feels way to fast paced. This might be due to the ping system. It needlessly speeds up the pace of the combat and the overall game play experience. This is something that was a huge appeal to me early on in the games development cycle. The UI feels clunky, I really don't like how I can't see my inventory and my hunters traits on the same screen anymore. The graphics feel a bit off as well. I have noticed that the fire and lighting effects look awesome but the overall the graphics feel washed out or bland. I can't put my finger on it. My fps went from 80 -110 down to 30 - 60. This is just bonkers to me. Oh well, hopefully this stuff will be sorted out, the dev team has been quick to address and work off player and community feedback.

Hey!
We have received this image multiple times and I can confirm that it was not due to a graphical downgrade but simply an artistic change.
It is similar to how each map changed with newer versions from a level design perspective.
Other frequent images we encounter are from pre alpha footage, compared to that we have changed the color palette and thus the lighting, but no changes were made to the graphics.
The medium and high settings should match to older game versions. However, the low setting was tweaked a while ago.
Please continue sending us your images or screenshots, most likely the graphical 'downgrades' are due to the default Low settings or other unforeseen bugs/issues. These can point us towards these issues so we can look into them !
Happy Hunting!
The medium and high settings should match to older game versions. However, the low setting was tweaked a while ago.
The medium and high settings certainly don't feel the same as they did in previous versions of the game. Optimization has obviously been a point of contention for several players, hence the recent negative reviews on the steam page and something I mentioned in my previous post. Would you also be able to go into detail about the changes or "tweaks" made to the low settings you mentioned?
The Low spec was pushed down a bit in order to lower the required specs to play the game.
