Texture loading in slowly everywhere?

[本夹明SPenguin]

Is it just my old card, or is everyone getting this problem?

Same

Never getting fixed, it is

This issue has been bugging me. It seems to be an issue with UE5's virtual texture streaming. You can see it in the way that texture detail pops-in in tiles. I had a look at some of the CVARs for controlling the system and the only one that seemed to have a dramatic effect was "r.VT.MaxUploadsPerFrame".

According to the UE5 documentation this CVAR's description is: "Use this command to set the maximum number of page uploads per-frame (default is 64). It can be useful when you want to throttle the number of Runtime Virtual Texture Tiles being updated in a frame to prevent performance spikes."

Setting this to 64 produces a much faster resolve of texture detail although I imagine it has a performance cost. You can see the difference in this Imgur album where I compared the default value of 8 against 64.

If you want to put this into effect and try in-game then go to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\RoboCop\Saved\Config\Windows\", find "Engine.ini" and open it in a text editor of your choice.

Add this to the bottom of the file, then save it.

[SystemSettings]
r.VT.MaxUploadsPerFrame=64

Got this as well, very annoying, but i see this in almost every UE engine game.
Rig also better than recommended, i9, 64 gb, 4090, M2 SSD

Wow. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. For the first time since launch, road actually looks like road and not like smeary blurry mess.

In other words, this tweak seems to work perfectly. I only tried the first few minutes so far running around the street, but I saw no texture pop-in, and no performance degradation. VRAM usage was at 7GB (I have 12 on 3080Ti).

If this indeed fixes the issue for good with no performance problems across the game, then it blows my mind it was not fixed by developers yet.

Oh my, I will try this out tomorrow, looks like I can finally play it.

Thank you so much Lyall!

Amazing find. Worked for me. Pretty much can't notice textures pop in anymore. Performance wise pretty much the same for me. Can one go higher than 64? or after 64 ther ewill be no difference?

[s1p0]

Game dont use all VRAM ! How set memory pool?
(on Epic 4K it take 8GB from 12GB)

-----------------------------------------------------
EDIT: This use 10GB of VRAM (=sharper textures): Engine.ini

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.VT.MaxUploadsPerFrame=256
r.Streaming.PoolSize=16384

[/script/engine.virtualtexturepoolconfig]
+Pools=(SizeInMegabyte=16384)

Thank you very much for doing the research and providing this tweak. Best!

Thanks a ton Bro! Perfect fix! Happy New Year Big Boss!

It happens to me as well with my RTX 4090. Shame cause it looks gorgeous apart from the texture slowly (sometimes never) loading in properly.
