QUAKETALLICA: Hi, I was having this problem as well after a recent Windows 10 update (from version 1909 to 2004).
Thanks a lot for your fix! It worked for me. Installing a Reshade/SweetFX is entirely unnecessary. However, following the PCGamingWiki's instructions on creating an autoexec.cfg, copying that block of text in, and changing r_subdivisions to 3 did the trick! Thanks for sharing this solution.
In case anybody else has this same issue in future, go to your game directory/main (or mainta or maintt for the expansions). Then create a new text file and rename it to autoexec.cfg. Then copy the following in and save the file:
seta cg_drawviewmodel "2"
seta cg_effectdetail "1.0"
seta cg_marks_add "1"
seta cg_max_tempmodels "1200"
seta cg_rain "1"
seta cg_reserve_tempmodels "240"
seta cg_shadows "2"
