I don't know if it's because of something I tweaked in the settings or because the developers are trying to save memory, but lately many objects disappear from my view and reappear when they are very close. Sometimes when I rotate the view they also reappear on the side of the screen but when I center the monitor on the object again, it disappears again.
Sometimes I get close to torches and the fire looks fine but the whole bottom part has disappeared. When I get closer it reappears. Even objects floating in the water disappear after a few meters and then I can't find them anymore. If this were a normal shooter it wouldn't be a problem. But the fact that floating objects or ships in the distance aren't rendered is a serious problem.
And if it's because of something in my settings, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what I should tweak to get it back to how it was before.

I like visual aid.

But if that's the case, it should be inverted, right?. I mean... the object should appear when it is centered and dissapear on the edges of the screen (and actually, when it passes the edges of the POV and becomes not-in-sight)
It looks like a dev wrote a "<" instead of a ">" somewhere in the client's code XD
Suggestion: Send this stuff to Support and see if anyone else has also reported this.
Yeah... I'll do that
Thanks mate
Anyone else who read this thread, I'll be thankful of read any comment you might think is useful
I've seen some of the shrubberies on Mermaid's Hideaway change structure back & forth while on the island (and fairly close - not on the ship).
I've seen shipwrecks change position (or even go under water or appear above water) on approaching them.
Other ships have a standard view (lights on, mast up and sails down) when you spot them from a few squares away and have the correct lights on/off, mast up/broken and sail position when getting closer - it changes back to standard when you go father away again.
But nothing like you experienced.

Seen those ones also plenty of times. Birds disappearing over loot is common also.
If I was OP I would reset all game graphics settings and reset them back to the settings you want. Something could be out of sync/miss there.
Any other games have issues?

Yeah... that's annoying too

I did that. Now I am trying to play with different drivers. Every time I install a different driver version, the problem dissapear but after few hours the problem comes back. I am about to asume that the problem is some cache. My last move was to install an ASUS cache control tool on the "Asus Armoury Crate". But I didn't test it yet.

Currently I am not playing other games with this style of engine. So .. no

Strange the issue comes back after a couple hours.
Is it a nVidia card? See if game optimisation is turned off in the nVidia App for SoT.
Asus Armoury Crate is bloatware. Just read some comments around the internet about it.
Have you got any other optimisation programs on your computer?
@captthreepwood i feel like the seagulls disappearing has always been a thing. They become so hard to see up close at times, i just resorting to hopping in the water.

Yeah. I know. The seaguls is old news. But I am talking about more "dangerous" stuff. Take a look at the screenshots I posted above. Or even this video:
Look at the sloop at starboard after the second 0:15
O_o
@captthreepwood that one might just be the sloop going through waves but I do get what you mean. I got to a shipwreck gull location and the ship didn't spawn. Tried killing myself and diving all the way down. Nothing there, was pretty weird.
Tonight my friends and I are selling at Sanctuary after doing some guilded quests. As I'm watching loot get harpooned at sovereign, I look at the shore at the end of the pier and see colored lights just floating there in mid-air. It's not until I walk on the pier towards it that I see they're on a post. I don't know what's up with that.
