Blocky Graphics on Ultra?

[CTSchmidlak]

I have nearly all my graphics settings on Ultra, and yet the buildings and trees look really low res and blocky. Any ideas what might be the reason??


See screenshot flying over Seattle here for example:

Is that with streaming data or offline data?

I think Seattle is one of the areas they should have the best information about.

By chance did you try to preload that area with a manual cache to see if it is different?

[CTSchmidlak]

Streaming data is on, no limits on anything. Manual cache is grayed out for me, not sure why. It does get a little (but not completely) better if I get real close to the buildings/ground, so it seems like there's an issue with when it decides to load in the better textures and models?

Agreed about Seattle being one of the areas that they should have some of the best data for. As a local, it's a bit disappointing to see the downtown area looking so rough.

[Moga CMDR]

Pretty sure you either use Manual or Rolling cache. Not both.

So to test it you need to delete the rolling cache (I think) then set up a manually selected Manual download region.

Worth a test.

I was able to get manual working for me, but I forget the exact steps, but I think that covers it.

Ah, I see. I'll give it a shot and report back!

In addition to Guild's comment, ensure you're not consuming bandwidth elsewhere, like a Youtube video page (videos download even if you're not viewing them) and Twitch.
