Could you post the contents of the console.playername.log which lives inside your wurm install folder?

Psst

It's also worth upgrading to 396.54 for anyone on the 390 branch of the nvidia linux binary driver: "Fixed a resource leak introduced in the 390 series of drivers that could lead to reduced performance after starting and stopping several OpenGL and/or Vulkan applications."

Fixed with today's update

The new renderer uses deferred rendering which does not support "traditional" AA methods, so you likely won't have much luck with forcing them through Inspector. As Retrograde mentioned better post processing methods will be added in the future

If you can, post a copy of your console.playername.log which lives inside your wurm install directory, then it's easier to see what might be going on.

Try verifying your packs, use the gear icon on the bottom-right corner of the launcher and use Verify.

Keep in mind that only the preview client supports Java 10 so far, 8 is needed for the regular client.

You could try disabling SLI in the Nvidia control panel, just to rule out there are no issues with it on Win 10 in combination with the the end of life Nvidia driver and OpenGL

FXAA has nearly no performance impact, SMAA is planned which is also fast but provides better image quality. Still to come as well; tldr everything will be better

Will be fixed next client update

Simply hitting enter on that window should do the trick, it's likely being cut off due to high dpi settings. As to why it would lose the install dir due to a Java upgrade I'm not entirely sure.

Far/Extreme should be available for Item&Creature Distance, does your dropdown list actually only go to Medium with those missing?

@WilczanThanks

Screenshot during the day with modern might be more useful, hard to see what's going on in the first one
