After the last update, I too have noticed a big difference. I hate it. I am on PC.
Please increase the draw distance! The spyglass has become pointless after the update.

@cpt-peach-beard Wow, that is not the answer I was expecting. I haven't seen the pop in become that bad at such a close distance. Do you have your graphic settings pumped up or toned down?
I am just trying to collect some examples/stats for later use. Thanks.

This is another thread on the subject. There is a post in it that shows the only post I know of from a dev on the issue. Unfortunately I find the devs response rather unhelpful however I thought it may be of interest.
It seems Rare is trying to suggest it would be a hardware issue. I think the only way to make them see the draw distance problem is by submitting a support ticket.
@tyburn-ketch Yeah it's a non answer and multiple users have proven it to simply be false. The level of drop off following the update pretty much removes the idea that it is simply related to client hardware.
I mean simply looking at it from the point of the view of "Before the update we could see X distance, now we see X distance" should be easy enough to prove that the DD or LoD was reduced.
Hopefully if enough of us submit support tickets it’ll be a subject they can’t ignore. I personally just want some communication from Rare. It had been widely praised at launch for being a beautiful game. This nerf (again unintentionally or not) has damaged that moniker... And again I will add: it’s not just the aesthetics. This change in render distance has changed gameplay in a way I know Rare would not be happy with.

I'm on Xbox One X, and its sad to see the graphic difference, at launch it was perfect, now there's endless issues, and the lag is far worse than it has ever been. The game is doomed.
I wouldn't say it's doomed but if they don't start making some headway on these more concerning problems the population will suffer for sure.
