There seems to be a lack of dimension in the grass now. When in an aerial position, the land looks like a concrete texture instead of all the normal textures. It just does not look as realistic as I'm used to. I'm not sure if it is a button that I have to push or if it is an actual bug. I went through and changed several video settings in the game, all of which did nothing.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
