Quest Items no longer highlighted in open world

Since the 10.2.6 patch yesterday, quest items are no longer being highlighted, making them significantly harder to find among all the ground clutter.

Checked settings, and the highlight option is still checked, in fact highlight is not working on any of the objects it says it should be, but quest objectives are the most noticeable.

I noticed this too, it’s not so bad for most things, but trying to find the bugs during the seed bloom events is nearly impossible and depending where you are in the Emerald Dream, some of the weeds blend in quite well.

OMG i just noticed this with the Encroaching Growths, thought something was wrong setting wise or GPU driver but glad I’m not the only one noticing it!

Edit: ok it looks like AA settings. MSAA and CMAA does not work with the outlines. FXAA, off and CMAA 2 works

I am getting this too! I have disabled all addons - still not there.
I checked quest outline mode - disabled, then enabled, then /reload - still doesn’t work.
I tried all versions of AA, still doesn’t work.
Happened since 10.2.6 went live.

Yep same here. I’m leveling a bunch of alts. It’s annoying, haha.

Temp fix: Set “Multisample Techniques” to “None” in the games Graphics settings.

I’ve tested several settings combinations, and this is the one that disables the outlines if it’s set to anything other than “None”.

Just tried it now and can confirm that setting “Multisample Techniques” to none instantly worked - no reloading or logging off/on needed. Thanks!

Also can confirm the setting “Multisample Techniques” to none fixes the issue.

I can also confirm after changing Anti-Aliasing from “Multisample Techniques” to “None” then clicking “Apply” quest items started to highlight again for me.

Update: So today, just a day later, I reverted back to Anti-Aliasing to “Multisample Techniques” and Multisample Techniques to “Color2x/Depth2x”, which was default before my issue. Yes the Multisample Alpha-Test also had a check. I enabled these settings as before and quest items stayed highlighted. So not sure what the issue was but I reverted back to default and everything is as it was working fine again.

Thanks! This was driving me nuts the other day and I couldn’t find anything in any searches to fix it.

I thought I had a setting reset when I reset all settings earlier. Glad to know it is not me but a bug.
