I haven't played HLL for a couple of months, decided to hop in today and I had many terrible trees, bushes, and grass patches pop in all the time. It constantly switches from low res blurry version to a detailed one as I move or take aim. Seems like it's the same even on epic Distance settings. How do I fix that? Is it the same for everyone?

Heeyhey!

For optimization we have these pop ins. But it seems that many prefer better transitions over FPS, so we hope we can test some solutions out with some cost on the FPS to make a fix for this issue.

Thank you, I hope it will be some toggleable option, so everyone would be able to choose what they prefer.

This is not how game engines work unfortunately. Its either the pop ins for more optimization, or the fade with a performance impact but a nicer transition.

Did transitions get adjusted with the last patch? The performance bump was pretty nice.

Ah, they are the same as before U10, we worked on many other factors for P16.

Could you add an LOD setting so the pop in distance can be determined by the user?

That has even more of a heavier impact on performance. But, not impossible. A transition is the best in these situations.

after the most recent patch i notice it, (maybe i just didn't notice it prior), but it seems to happen only over a few steps forward now. with a FPS that is already hard to spot enemy movements this popping draws the eye as it doesn't seem natural, entire shrubs just appear suddenly (as well as some other textures) and some become more transparent the closer you get, essentially enemy's can hide behind these at range and you will never see them, but they can see you. i read above that it isn't possible to have a toggle option on this, some one should get coding, if they figure this one out they will be a very wealthy person. now that i have seen it i cant un-see it lol, but i will still continue to enjoy the game, legends.

Aaah, interesting... any chance on a video of that? Also, do share that vid with Team17 Support please, so it can ve picked up and fixed. Thaaaaanks!

here you go, as you can see the tree pops in a few steps and the shrub instantly when ADS and also reduces in model size. View distance epic - texture quality medium - foliage quality high. i have the same result with every thing on epic.

Thanks! Yeah, that does look a bit closeby... do send this to Team17 Support and they will make a bugreport out of it!
