Early Thoughts / Tree pop-In fix?

[sebsN]

Hello Stalkers.

First of all: I've been in for about two hours now and I think I'm enjoying the game?

Although I have to say that the game fell short of my expectations in many areas. A few points that bother me:
- Enemies spawn in out of nowhere 10 meters behind you and have the IQ of a watermelon.

- The complete absence of the A-Life system, which was advertised on the shop site shortly before release but was quietly and secretly removed, even feels like a little scam to me.
I think that such a loyal community would have deserved a little more openness from the developers. But well, that's another topic.

- In my opinion, the graphics are not above average either. Some areas look really great, but some textures could have come from a PS 4 game. But I have to say that I'm very picky when it comes to graphics.

- But what bothers me the most and what makes it incredibly difficult for me to engage with the world is the constant pop-in of the vegetation of trees. They seem to pop up out of nowhere 50 meters in front of you or change their LOD. This is extremely annoying, especially when you walk through the zone during the day.
Is this a fault on my end? Because almost no one talks about such an issue.
Is there by any chance a solution to the problem? Maybe a change in a cfg.file to increase the draw distance or something?

If not, is this a problem that can be solved with mods or updates from the developers or is it something more complex that cant be changed?
Unfortunately, I'm not a tech person and don't know much about it.

Otherwise I can say that the performance is quite good for me.
It feels smooth, I play on epic settings in 4k and have between 80-100 fps (yes with DLSS Quality and FG), which is completely sufficient for me.
Microstutters are actually not that extreme for me and I don't even notice them - if at all.

Finally I can say, that I'm very excited to see how the game will develop in the future.

Someone found a fix for the pop ins. Hope it works for you aswell.

The foliage looks horrible on max settings.

I haven't experienced pop ins or enemies respawning behind me personally. I have experienced crashes and memory leaks though. My first time going to the zone I had to drop it down to medium just to get above 15 FPS. I reloaded my save on epic quality and it worked fine. The game definitely has issues but I am enjoying myself quite a bit so far.
