Fire not fire bug?

With the new update my fire looks more like smoke. Cannons with the fireballs are balls of black smoke. Fire grenades barely have any fire and the fire staff looks like mostly black smoke with a little bit of flame.

I really dislike this, it looks very strange. I have tried different graphics options and its still black smoke.

Anyone else have this? I hadn't seen a post on it, but seems odd I would be only one.

Firebrand, flaming skull and explosive have been complained about, a lot, in the past. Unfortunately, the lag they induce is server-side, not client side rendering of flames. For example, an EITC Corsair blasting you with explosive will lock you up. When your client-side game starts rendering the explosion from the explosives, you are already in jail.

Sounds and looks like they tried to simplify the animation of fire, instead of fixing the server-side lockups.
