I’m on windows with max graphics, latest graphics drivers and game version. The warp tunnel does not seem to distort the space outside it anymore. It now looks like a low graphics warp. This started 2 updates ago.
I can confirm this one, I’m not seeing the effect either.
Maxed graphics, Nvidia 580.119.02, Linux 6.12.65, running through Steam on whatever the preselected Proton is.
I have also noticed the same issue, none of the spatial distortion effects in warp, or around gates. Maximum graphics running in both full screen mode and fixed window mode.
Verifying integrity of game files didn’t have any effect, and display drivers are all up to date.
DirectX 12
Graphics card: Gigabyte Raedon RX 6700 XT 12G
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
Windows 11
I’m seeing the issue now. can’t remember when it started, I just noticed something was off. maxed out graphs settings, and warp looks like medium shader used to.
And this is not exclusive to Windows and DirectX either. I’m playing on macOS.

I have submitted a bug report this morning. maybe you guys can do the same to gain visibility? also, the more data CCP has, the more they have to go on to investigate this. just a thought of course.
I have also submitted a bug report, and referenced this thread.
Same issue here, Win 11 ,Amd Ryzen 9700X, GeForce 5070 Ti, DX12, this beautiful effect has disappeared and left place to a “medium” like setting..
Anything new on that issue? Tried many things on my side and nothing corrects it.
30k players everyday and we’re really just 5 having this issue? 
Yea this has been bothering me for months…. I’m on a 3080 Ti with default settings. Done all the usual things like clear cache, verify files, settings on/off etc… It’s not the end of the world, but the warp effect is very insipid with out it.
Are we sure this is an actual issue and not just removed from the game?
No way to say, and for some people, some I’ve been talking to ingame that seem to be active for years, they don’t even seem to realize it was gone and seem to think everything’s all right and always been like that. So… Evolving for the worst it looks like.
Same here, no distortion.
