Update 2 Graphics Downgrade

[Vick]

I launched the game on PS5 hoping to see the super distracting shadows pop-in issue solved or at least reduced, since it's worse than the first game on PS4, and to my suprise not only it's not, graphics are actually further downgraded now.

Before:

After:

Greatly reduced/entirely missing self-shadowing from palm trees now for instance, making them stand out even more than before.

It's not like the game runs at a rock solid 60fps now, performances are just as fluctuating as they were before, and they were fine in the first place.

Please revert this!

Hey Vick!

As far as I'm aware we didn't deliberately do anything to the PlayStation 5 graphics with Update 2. I've let the team know about this

Thank you very much Jens!

Along with IQ, shadows draw distance was the real only graphical issue i had with the game on PS5, as it's noticeably worse than the first game on PS4 in this regard.
Was hoping and to be honest expecting to see this particular element improved down the line after further optimization, like what happened on PC, but now it's actually worse on PS5, much worse than it was at launch. Can't post more pictures to showcase the difference at the moment, but it's unfortunately 100% the case.

I was fully intending to purchase every DLC and support the game till the end, but i can't say i'm satisfied enough with the visuals to do so now.
I can stand blurry IQ if the game looks good, but blurry IQ + shadows appearing a few meters in front of the player is a bit too much. Just restore the settings that were there on launch, please.

And thanks again!
