Off the soap box... again.
What I originally meant was that I hadn't noticed it in the game. I can see it clearly in the screenshot, but it looks like they've fixed that. Possibly with that short update they did a couple days ago. On live I'm not seeing them be that boxy model that close. I think they turn into the boxy model from a long way away, but it's really hard to tell. One that that is not fixed is the flat sails, which is really annoying, because it seems to be a medium distance that they suddenly go flat. From far away they're curved and billowing, then as you get closer they go flat, then they go curvy again. Really weird.

Also, I find it terribly hard to believe that they're not willing to fix a memory leak and instead would resort to downgrading graphics. Not to mention that the two really don't have much to do with each other - downgrading graphics is primarily a graphics card issue where a memory leak is a CPU/RAM issue. Where did this memory leak rumor even start? Is there any proof to it or is it just something that someone took out of context and now is being blamed for everything? Don't get me wrong, I think D went way too far in trying to make the seas run smoother by giving us boxy models, but I also know how forums can be in that one person makes an unsubstantiated claim and suddenly everyone takes it as the gospel truth.
