Night vision blinding me

[Papabard]

not sure if this is related to the changes made in nightvision but lately during game play my toons armor becomes faded. I have to reset between performance and quality to get the paterns etc to show back up. I've updated video driver and even restored back to older files but still have this issue. Seems distance shaders etc just fade out. Any suggestions as to what can be causing this or if its soe related.

The 2 looks are attached. It can occur after a death or just moving around it just all of a sudden fades out like this.
