No your post was useless, Some problems fix them selves, it happens.

Messed with your graphics as in artifacts(textures gone wild, dots on your screen, wrong textures at wrong place, etc)? If this is true than it might be some sort of overheat problem with the new water and your video card.

Might have glitched out due to downloading the content while you were playing so the game wasn't loading everything at 100%?
Might did that a fair bit while i was doing the major patch for 4.0.1 so it might have been due to the 879mb that you had to download today? Im not sure but its a thought.

SunnViewport Art is glitching the water effects, maybe you got that addon?
if so, you just untick Vertical Viewport

I've had the same issue (and I still have it actually). What I've discovered is that the artifacts on liquid surfaces appear only when the multi-sampling (anti-aliasing) video option is set higher than x1 AND when the liquid detail setting is higher than 'fair'.

Here is how the water looks like with multi-sampling higher than 1x (bugged): h t t p i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa478/sstoilow/bugged-water.jpg

Here is how it should look like on 'ultra' setting: h t t p i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa478/sstoilow/ok-water.jpg

So to fix it, try to either leave the liquid detail setting to 'low' or 'fair' while keeping the multisampling higher than 1x OR choose the 'good' / 'ultra' liquid quality setting but keep multisampling at 1x. Note that I use Windows XP and an ATI 4870 video card with the latest driver installed.
