This issue seems to be purely you, from what I have seen all the graphics have taken large steps forward

Send me a PM and I'll give you my address.  You can come over to my house and fly with my graphics settings and see if you still have the same opinion.  :aok

My computer is four years old.  It runs it just fine at resolutions far higher than most people play and at max detail.

Your computer was close to top of the line then four years ago, congratulations.
If your system cannot handle this game

My system can handle this game, just not with 'advanced terrain'.

you are on a business computer or have such an ancient system as to make your requests ridiculous.  You don't have to upgrade every year or two, but at least two or three times a decade.

What requests have I made?  Please, search for an unreasonable request (if I even made one) and let me know so I can eat my crow. 

Everything I have stated is absolute fact.  The graphics in the new version on low end graphics settings are much worse than the low end settings on the earlier version.  Unless you're going to tell me that this is an upgrade...



But like I said, I found settings that aren't quite this bad to run good enough, but the older graphics were still much better.  Gheesh, it's a great upgrade for most of the players, I've already said that.  It wouldn't kill you to at least acknowledge the fact the graphics became worse for low end computers.  I don't even care anymore, I can see enemies on the deck better now because of the full one color green that the entire terrain is.   :lol

My apologies, it seems I misread your post, as I thought you were saying that the graphics were worse for everyone, not just low end users. That being the case, have you posted a DX Diag. Report anywhere on the forums? I'd be interested in seeing it to see if there is a viable solution to your problem.

No problem.  There's no software fix for my graphical problems.  New mobo + video card needed.  Then again I feel like putting anymore money into this old system is foolish.

Even if it is a hardware restriction problem, you might not need to put in as much money as you might think. I can't make any promises since I don't know the specs. of your computer yet, but I don't think it would hurt to check.
