I have had this issue too. I normally run on "recommended" but go down to "performance" on some maps or on big leagues.
But I've fiddled around and found a way to get those same glowing pieces to show. I set the slider to "recommended" then enable advanced settings, I turn world detail and character detail up all the way (200% I believe.) That seems to get the details showing but keeps the rest of the graphics and game running relatively smoothly.
There may be another way to do this. I'd love to hear others' thoughts or if this works for you Winterminal.
Good luck!

Thanks guys! Actually, it looks like all I needed to do was enable "Advanced Graphics Settings." I didn't even make any changes before logging out and checking in the character creator, and I saw the glow effects. I appreciate the help!

Hey all,
I play the game on my laptop, and the tech specs are pretty average, so I play with the graphics on the "recommended" setting, without Ultra Mode. But one thing I have been missing out on is the "glow" part of glowing costume pieces like the Resistance gloves/chest detail. Does anyone know what specific Ultra Mode settings need to be engaged for those to be visible, so that I can engage those, while skipping others, and hopefully not compromise my performance too much?
