Graphics Settings/No Green Water

[HammyTheSquirrel]

Okay, well... I have no idea whether this is with the game, or just the fact that my graphics card isn't that powerful, but I found this really strange. I don't seem to have green water for St. Patrick's Day, first off, and I got a screenshot the only time it showed up...



I tried going to another server, and this is what i got...



Okay, so now let's take a look back at the first screen:

Notice the part that's circled has a reflection. I have never, ever had reflections show up with my graphics, even though I have my game settings on high most of the time.

My main questions are: Are these both related? Why might I not be getting reflections/green water? Is this the game's issue or my own?

Edit: I tried switching my Graphics API to Direct x8, and the green water is working (it seems to only work on Direct x8, not Open GL or Direct x9 o_o), but I still don't understand the water graphics...
