I have been playing Dayz on max graphics settings since Alpha launch day without problems. When the 0.44.123800 patch downloaded the graphics textures were significantly degraded and was immediately noticeable. The textures became fuzzy and soft almost as if looking through a translucent filter. This bug report only allows a single file attachment, therefor I have attached the after screenshot. I also have links to the before/after screens:

-Before patch: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/705112066257948807/96FB0051A92898C75B2A6BC8BDB5EB39A4B56B2C/

After patch: http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/3335223429559394305/CF61E2E846969DBE01B602F06F873D9B3FBF7C71/

Attempts to resolve:
-Restarted Game
-Reboot PC
-Update Drivers
-Individually adjust all graphics settings
-Default graphics settings

*No attempt to resolve had any effect on the fuzzy textures at all*
