   Reading the patch message says DX9 required now, link should take you to microsofts download place.
   Also looks like they did some tweaking of fabled mobs, dont exactly know what this means but almost sounds nerfed.
   One  things for sure, and I saw this coming from a mile away, they are adding recommended lvl for most fabled items. ouch!
typical sony bait and switch tho...

couple things to check, they messed with the display tab gamma settings, I had to turn mine up to see, everything was too dark.
  but if you mean like opaque grey, then you need to go check the website that your video card manufacturer is on, for updated video card drivers.

The fabled item nerf was basically adding rec. level to everything worth twinking with, to around 50 or 55. Also the Jboots are no longer targettable, and only last 18 mins. Other than that they're still ok though, just glad i never got on the fabled bandwagon and wasted 22 hrs for something hit with the old N-stick.
