Bad graphics

So, thanks to the latest Windows 10 update I had to go back and do a complete pc reset and reinstall guild wars 2.

But ever since I've reloaded it my textures look flat. For instance, my warbeast armor was a shiny silver color before and now it's kind of a flat grey.

I've updated my graphics drivers AND taken another look at my settings which are the same as they were before.

Any idea what else I could do to get them looking back the way they were? I don't know what would have changed. Someone suggested running a client repair so that's my next step but as I just reinstalled the 64 bit client I can't see how that will help.

Any other suggestions or anyone had this happen before?

Did you remember the checkbox at the very bottom about best character texture details?

Yeah. Got all the best texture options checked.

I kept my files when I did the pc reset and I still have a 32 bit client and potentially some lost folders from previous game installs mixed in various places. So unless something is overwriting something else I don't think that's an issue. Plus I ran the repair just in case and it just took me to the game like it didn't need to repair.

No idea....

Figured it out. The one setting I thought I had set lower was shaders. Clicked it to medium and it looks the way it did before. Thought I was going crazy. 6 hours of trying to get your computer functioning after an update that's supposed to improve it will do that to you!
