Hey is there any way I can make the water look like this:
to this?

make sure you copied the watertextures in your worlds effects folder.

Do you have your water options on "high" in your video settings?

Yeah.... the water texture should be "high" in your settings.....
If its not.... then I'll let someone else answer.

I am such an idiot!

How come the buildings make a weird light in the water reflection? Hint: look in the tower reflection.

that is a result of the way the houses are build. behind the wall with transparent windows they have another wall with the texture of the glowing windows. once you are too far away from the model the first wall starts disappearing but the one behind it still stays/they flicker.

Thanks guys!
