Parts of the islands remain missing after blocking vision

  • This has happened several updates ago and has not been fixed.

    We all know that to save resources part of the environment is not loaded when they are not in the field of vision, the problem is when that resource is visible to the player, it is one or two frames but it is deeply annoying.

    I hope they can solve it soon, thanks.

    To my knowledge, this has always been in the game. A funny thing I like to do is jump into the hanging flags on the outposts and load out stuff for a few frames.

    I don't know that anything can be done.... I wouldn't want them to make things that are being blocked still load, because then you would have more computer load in structures like your boat.

    I can't say I've seen this when lowering a map I was looking at... Maybe this has something to do with one of the graphics settings?

  • Seems like that the distance bug is related to the machine or the graphic cards you are using.

  • @grumpyw01f I have really noticed this for about a year, before I hadn't seen it.
    this seems like a poor resource-saving implementation, and on a PC with all settings set to high it shouldn't happen.

  • @metal-ravage The settings are all on high, I use an i7 8700, 32gb RAM and an RTX 2060.

  • I am currently on an Xbox Series X, and have been sailing on all of the older consoles before that, and have never seen anything quite so egregious as this.

    ➕1️⃣ for consoles, I guess. 😅

  • @quietrobot Hm. I've never noticed this myself.
    As long as it doesn't pose a significant problem- which it likely won't if it lasts only a few frames- I say that Rare has bigger problems to focus on. This is something to fix later.

    But I'm willing to give it a chance. Has this ever negatively affected your (or anyone else who reads this) experience in a way other than brief annoyance?

    Agreed. Tho I tried the pc version once and played for two hours. (Back during year one/two)
    And I never seen this bug. And my pc is 2017 s which isn’t all that good :/

    The gifs are extremely slowed down which is making this more pronounced than it actually is.

    The only way to fix it is going to be to have these things rendered behind whatever is obstructing them, since I don't think this is dependent on your graphics settings at all (objects either have occlusion and prevent things from rendering behind them, or they don't).

  • @d3adst1ck effectively, the clips are slowed down, as I mentioned in the post, this lasts one or two frames, but even so they are noticeable.

    I am aware that it is not the biggest problem that Rare has, this one that I published today is not either.

    Even so, I find them annoying visual problems that at some point should be fixed.
    It would be necessary to investigate because it happens to some and not to others, even with the graphic options to the maximum.
