Extremely ugly!

[Koron]

Are you going to fix the extremely ugly and disturbing texture popping, for the PC version of course?

Everything is great except that, I just can't stand it, it ruins everything!

[XTHeroface]

your name rhymes with moron... sorry i couldn't help but point it out, I hope they fix the PC version so this forum can be better filled with constructive conversations about how to complete certain missions etc

[Koron]

Maybe they should have put some sort of fog, anything is better than seeing abrupt texture/object popping, I'm sure it can be fixed somehow, maybe if they do what they did in Gears of War with distant scenery...?

[XTHeroface]

maybe... but draw distance is a bit of a selling point these days... haven't seen this happen on my xbox version yet but i know a lot of PC versions have been doing it

[FantasmaOfDoom]

hope they somehow manage to get a draw distance meter in it lately i see pop ups alot... http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
even with everything on max i see pop ups that's not cool

any permanent way to solve pop ups? (not with console(not even sure if it's there)

[PeeWee1476]

I'm running the PC version on all settings Very High except textures, which I'm running at Ultra High. I don't get any pop-in.

[FantasmaOfDoom]

weird?

what about close to the desert? when you ride next to it are there rocks popping up?

[Alexraptor1]

I haven't seen any texture popping at all either and I'm also running all with Very High and Ultra High textures, but i also have 8x Anisotropic Filtering enabled via the Nvidia control panel.

i have had no problems like this. i have a nvidia geforce 8800 gt and it runs fine with that. not noticed any pop in

[FantasmaOfDoom]

i got a GTX 280 and i have pop ups and you guys don't ? :s
i see whole rocks/trees popping up couple of "meters" before me :s

maybe i'm just looking too far http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Im playing at Very High and 4xAA and was getting tired of all the pop ups so decided to try on Ultra High and it does the same thing.
I guess you guys saying there is no pop up just don't notice them that's all.
Also i've watched video reviews of the 360 and PS3 version and the pop ups are a lot worse than on PC.

[Alexraptor1]

Nope, there is absolutely no popping for me with the exception of trees at the very end of the draw distance, something which even Far Cry had and Crysis Warhead as well.

as i said "maybe i'm just looking too far" http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

still not cool though http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

My system ain't supercharged but the 1 thing i have not had is texture popping. (I get it in STALKER in the distance but there is processing (pre/post) to be done in that title. This is a computer's dream, I mean my GPU takes a day off and lets the CPU run this puppy.

I've got no object popping, but I sometimes see some sort of er... change in the rocktextures, as if higher resoluton ones are replacing lower res ones. The only thing is that when I see that, the low res aren't low res... it looks more like it as if some sort of very soft layer is laid upon the existing textures... Very hard to explain. I've only seen this on rocks while driving around and so on. You could also say it's as if some sort of shadow is applied. It doesn't really bother me, I have to add, but I do sometimes notice it.

Bingo. This is what is happening to me as well. I run at max settings, yet when i move closer to rocks and shrubs the detail seems to shift constantly. This seems to be most noticeable at night time, and barely noticeable at day. I have tried experimenting with the LOD console triggers, yet nothing seems to solve this issue.

I also notice it on character models. If a guy is wearing a hat or a beret when you zoom in on him, zoom out and hes bald and not wearing anything at all.

I run at max AA and AF too.

[PeeWee1476]

Hm, well I guess I do get SOME popping in at the very end of the draw distance.....but....even Crysis had that. In fact, I'm pretty sure that just about any game released so far as it to some degree.

[Yur1]

Popping quite a lot on ps3. Screen tearing also.

[FantasmaOfDoom]

those Textures shiftings are made to keep the framerate high...

i noticed on a rock there was half normal shadow (every leaf) and above that just some less detailed "black" line which was "shadow" http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif got i screenshot from it but not sure how to upload ...

you see the pop ups when you drive next to the desert http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif you won't see it that fast in a jungle area http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

EVERY game has some pop-in. It's called LOD, and it's the way the game was programmed to allow for huge draw distances without slowing down performance.

[FantasmaOfDoom]

i rather have 30 fps without pop ups than having 40+ with it http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

any consolecommands that can fix this? http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/winky.gif
