Thanks , man . I ' ll look into it . <| sep |> So you say you used the Nvidia CP not the optimization option in GeForce Experience right ? I might give that a final try , since every other workaround failed so far and the game looks like a 1999 game in places . It ' s a real shame . My setup is a GTX 1070 FE and an i 5 6600 K plus 16 GB RAM . Win 10 64 bit . Also I noted , that this happened a few days after I updated the Nvidia drivers via the GF Exp . Could that be somehow related ? I ' ve tried to reinstall the drivers with a clean install of course , but no dice there as well ! <| sep |> what a twist ! who could ' ve seen that coming ? <| sep |> They are more typically deleted entirely , or hidden , not edited <| sep |> LorePlease give me a citation for this in the lore .
