Planets are ugly since 1.1

I have a garbage video card in my system... I'm planning on upgrading at some point , but the game runs perfectly fine for me as long as I have my graphics settings turned down. Up until now this really hasn't bothered me.... but since this latest version came around, the planets all seem to look pretty much the same. Either a flat grey or a deep solid blue color. I see almost no variation in colors, no depth, no stripes or swirls or anything like I used to. I'm guessing this is related to the new textures, though I thought those were only going to be for gas giants. Is there a particular setting that I need to turn "up" or "on" in my settings that can fix this? Or is it like this for everybody?

Thanks!

Yes more info!

Running everything in high and 1.1 definitely looks better at my end.

Maybe they added new lower res textures for the low/medium settings?

I think that might be the case, the ultra setting is what high used to be, so that follows that the lowest might well be lower than it was.

OP, you could try bumping your environment setting up a notch and see if it makes it better.

I can post a screenshot this evening.. I am at work right now. I'm hoping there is a setting I could turn up without turning up everything. Though I do hope to get a new video card soon... I just started out on an exploration voyage and want to see the sites as well as I can! :D
