Graphics

[Ki-Tan]

Is there a recommended graphics guide to make the game actually look nice?

I have a 7800XT but the LOD looks so low even on max everything same with the Level of details the quality of far away objects looks low and the popping in and out of grass or trees looks bad.

Season 12 made something worse in this direction, it wasnt as bad in S11.

thats because gaames these days focus more on physics then texture quality, not the only game that has this issue, if snowrunner had a hd texture pack dlc it would look better but will require alot more vram

[Ki-Tan]

That's so weird as anything really close looks good, but the drop off is massive. it;s as if the game might be so purely optimised that the devs are hiding the fact or something.
I'll have to see how much Vram the game even uses

I have not noticed this - playing on ultra and high with a RTX 3070 at 60FPS (limit of my monitor).

[Ki-Tan]

wonder if I should be limiting, cause I get 80 somthing fps so maybe there a force dynamic resolution or somting

Lately i play mudrunner, of course with the atdega visual mod... coming back to snowrunner, its looks like crap, mudrunner looks better.
But the lod´s where always close, pop ins are normal.

Trees are the most noticeable for quality loss

You maybe able to dig into the files and see if you can change lod distances by hand somehow, in some games that works without any difficulty. But i never tried that.

I'll have to look for a location sometime this week

That must be one hell of a visual overhaul you have. Mudrunner is a great game and has many qualities, but beauty never was one of them.

hmm, playing here with a Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 and still have my 110 FPS +- 10, on an AMD Ryzen 1700X and no problems....
looks like a wrong setup of system ^^

[SlowClick]

OP check to see if the in-game video settings have changes - sometimes a game update re-sets some settings?

[mac18782]

i`m playing over 1 year now and the settings always be the same at my system, so i dont know where ur problem is. But not by the game self.
did u checked ur temperatures of CPU, GPU and ram? air flow maybe btw. waterflow?
checked ur ram by memtest? checked ur Mainboard? etc. many possible problems

It is... the guy made perfect work. Monochrome look gone, nice colors are back and a lot more...

Playing this and SR back to back, i found snowrunner looked worse in average. It has its moments on some maps, but it does not look as vivid in my eyes.

[Ki-Tan]

That does look nicer then snowrunner
