One thing they failed to mention in this update was that graphics were downgraded once more. Textures look less realistic on high. If you have past screenshots of tortuga, compare them with what you see now and you'll see a small, but noticeable change.

An example would be the "mountains" around tortuga have less framerate, and look more boxy, and when you get farther away from a building, it will literally look like a paper building. There will be little to no detail other than a flat color surface with some lines on it.

I believe they did this to enhance the details on cloths. Compensation, maybe? Anyways, I'm happy with this update other than the textures looking less realistic than they did two months ago. But hey, eventually they're going to go so low people will have enough of it and demand better graphics. No everone owns a windows 98.
