Since the update the low graphics make the game so crappy I refuse to use it any more. I've been using medium graphics - which seem to give me the same quality as low graphics before the update.
My biggest complaint is the lag issues. I could run pirates on high graphics before and not get the lag I am experiencing now. The server does not even have to be ideal any more. Get 3 or 4 people in the same area and my pirate slows down to a snail's pace - even healing is so slow I can't keep me mates alive.
Nothing's different on my end - so it has to be something they changed in the game.
