Textures look bad in my game. I reinstalled the graphics drivers and made sure my card is recognized. It only looks good in windowed mode but I used to play fullscreen all the time just noticed this a few days ago.
It was the newest drivers update I went back to an update from September and it's fixed now. Can't use newest driver update on my 1650 pc but works fine on my 3050 laptop.
I also reset the user folder
GreenOak1357 Please post screenshots of how the game looks in fullscreen and windowed modes, and specifically of the same location and camera angle (just flip modes without moving the camera). If the in-game screenshots don't show the issue, use Windows key-shift-S, which can sometimes minimize the game, but if you time it right, you should get the snipping tool instead.
Please also let me know what resolutions you're using, and if you're not using 1920x1080 in fullscreen mode, try that and see if it helps.
Your dxdiag shows a number of generic Windows update errors, the type a lot of computers have, but nothing that would explain this issue.

GreenOak1357 That's interesting, but I can see how it might happen only on older graphics cards. The tech in GPUs has changed a lot over the past few years, and Nvidia's newest drivers are geared towards optimizing performance on the newest models. So while the drivers still technically support the 16-series GPUs, there might be some issues around compatibility, especially for older games.
I would strongly suggest saving a copy of the driver you know works, in case Windows updates it for you at some later date and you're unable to roll back. If you don't have a copy of the installer, you can find a number of older drivers here:

Choose Game Ready Driver as the Download Type to go back further. The Studio drivers are for a different class of device and a different workload.
