Textures loading weird after the patch.

The textures of the pylons at biome 2 are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up after the patch. They dont load properly until you literaly move right next to them. Noticed it after the patch, anyone else saw that?

"optimizations", downgrading level of detail so they don't have to fix their mediocre asset streaming solution. I think these devs never heard of "DirectStorage" and how that helps streaming data faster than a PS5 on a modern PC.

I dont know about downgrading, the pylons have rainbow color stripes. Seems to me like something is failing at the loading for the textures.

Yes! Exactly the same for me after the patch, devs have broken the textures with the patch.

EDIT: Also is it just me or is there just a lot more pop-in now? Is that how they are 'fixing' the stutters, by reducing LOD draw distance? Lame.

Yea I think there is more pop in too even tho i cant say for sure. The texture not loading on that pylon tho is random tho. Next time i runned the game it wasnt there. Oh well

More pop-in for sure, geometry downgraded, this should be reported.

this is one of the few games I've seen without a pinned thread for users to provide feedback / submit bugs etc, it's like devs abandoned the players who bought the game, or is it just that they simply don't care? This is a Sony game, not some one-man indie game or something along those lines...
