    Since the patch I can't see water anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

    Issues like this are typically related to textures. The texture is either mis-drawn (a video driver issue) or the texture file is missing altogether (a corrupt game installation).

    Try re-installing your video drivers. If this does not work, then I think you will need to repair / reinstall WoW.

    Very weird

    It's probably because the higher detailed water rendering requires directx 11, and it won't be rendered if your card doesn't support dx11.
