Just atrocious texture popin

[Medusa]

Those somewhat complex ground textures on roads just popin at 2 meters from aloy, it looks atrocious, really destroys the whole atmosphere of the game.
How can this game be praised for it's graphics with such horrible popin.
It's SO ugly, i just quit the game because i couldn't stand it.

Try turning texture settings to medium. Might get rid of the flickering.

my issue is popin, and it's just the rootlike forest trail textures that even change when you stand on them.
I just checked and it happens at every gfx setting in the exact same manner.
It's really just screwing the look of the game.

Can you create a short video?
I´ve not the popin of textures 2 meters before the character in the game world, but the problem with the grass. On some areas you can see step by step a few meters far from aloy that the grass pop in step by step and the shiny effect is popin step by step to. It looks weired and ugly. It is not in the ps4 version. I think this will be not fixed. Turn off the weird grass physics and give us instead a higher drawing distance for the grass.

Looks likee a patch comes out on weekend.

I have no hope for the drawing distance fix.

25 th it´s mafia time and I hope for a good optimized game. HANGAR 13 that is the point why I´m sceptical about the remake.

The popin doesn't happen everywhere but at some locations.
I also have the grass popping in which kinda looks ugly.
There is also just more general popin which looks too aggressive.

I usually found with these ports (had some problems with Detroit: Become Human) was to set priority to high from the Task Manager. Right-click the process and set priority to high. Hope that can help.

This is a common issue with the latest update. There is no immediately obvious cause, and it is not effecting all users. Turning texture settings down to low or medium appears to usually fix it, but obviously that is not ideal because it lowers the overall quality

Thank you, it fixes not the problems, but it is good for a performance boost. I´m not using the priority feature for a long time, because so much games are crashing with stabbing back to windows with alt tab, but it works.

Here then a video to explain the problem...
Quality should be better, but if you look closely you can still clearly see it.

Are you playing with anisotropic filtering?
It looks like that you play without it. When I look at the grass this is the same issue for me. I found something out, you must use the newest ddu uninstaller to uninstall the old drivers with win 10 2004 and Microsoft Framework newer versions. I have not tested this game and must recompile the shaders now. I had texture issues and extreme stuttering with mafia 2 and 2 the definitive edition. Fast v sync causes flickering on my display. I hope I can see that some issues are gone now. I´m using now the newest nvidia driver 456.38
I can post a video 2 tommorrow. I will look that I reach the same area. The same spot.

We have the same graphics catrd. I can send you all my settings of the nvidia control panel and windows specific.

atm AF is turned off in control panel, but when it was turned on the same thing happened.
I don't think clean driver installations are going to help much with this.
I am atm also using the latest NVIDIA driver which also removes the need to compile shaders with AF on btw.
Still though, i think it is just a build-in local LOD bug.
Not every area has it this heavy, so thats why i say local.

So, here is a video that I created for a few minutes Turn AF on, the game looks a lot better and the textures are crisp and sharp.
This is sd quality. The hd quality comes later if the processing of the hd video is done.

You can see the extreme low drawing distance of the grass, but all my textures are fine.

My settings in game

- FOV 70
- Unlimited Framerate
- Refreshrate 144 HZ G-Sync
- Fullscreen not borderless Fullscreen
- no dynamic resolution
- native 1440p
- no vsync in game (using control panel
- no framecap in game and control panel
- usinng nvidia driver lodbias in control panel to on
- texture filtering on high quality in nvdia control panel
- AF 16x nvidia control panel user defined
- negative LODBias to clamp
- AA to application controlled

in game graphical settings
Textures High
Models Ultra
Clouds High
Anisotropic Filtering Low
Ambient Occlusion Ultra
Shadows Ultra
Reflections High
AA TAA
Motion Blur Off

- set the horizon zero dawn.exe to run as administrator in compatibility mode
- set the virtual memory filepage on my windows drive to 16 GB min and max manually
- set the priority in task manger to higher as normal

using newest nvidia driver whql 456.38, newest netframework versions and win 10 2004

Never seen this in this game . No pop in at all. So yea dont say how can the game be praised for its graphics when the graphics are actually great. There is something wrong at your part.

You are in a different area though, i think this popin is area specific.
I am still somewhere in the beginning of the game, not sure where exactly, but close to a main mission bandit camp.
I will try your settings, although most already match mine.

[Medusa]

When i used your settings the flickering returned.
