Unobtanium Graphics Settings Downgrade since Update?

Just like the title says I'm playing with the hidden unobtanium graphic settings on PC and the game looked incredible so far. But after the update I can't shake the impression of a visual downgrade in some areas.

It looks like they got rid of some texture details and bushes/trees in some parts which where more dense before.

Unfortunately I didn't take any screenshots before the update for a direct comparison.
