Running dxlevel 81, can't see certain particles...

When I switch to dxlevel 81 I can't see rocket smoke trials, medi-beams or buffed effects on players, among other things. When I go to dxlevel 91 it works fine, but I like to get good frames so I need to find some sort of fix. Honestly really confused.

here is an example if that helps:

Thanks for your time and I would really appreciate it if anyone has a solution.

Well I played on dx 81 before and it was fine, it's a recent thing.

Don't try to fix it, figure out how you did it and teach us how!
I'd love to not have rocket smoke trails...

wouldn't that make it harder to see/dodge enemy rockets though?

Driver support for dx8 is being dropped lately which causes this. Which is why reverting recent updates fixes the problem. In the long run you might have to switch to dx9 and update drivers again if it causes issues for other games but for now you'll be fine

Wtf happened.

Apparently Nier doesn't like the new 17.X drivers. And Strobelight (monitor lightboost thing) breaks as well.

DX 8 is unsupported. Use mat_phong 0 to get a somewhat similar effect on DX 9.
