Wait till you get a windrow of straw, Its now green outside the circle.
But thats how this game works, Fix 10 things break 8 new things and find out 3 of those fixes didnt work.

ah i see there is only three options in the ini file.
<viewDistanceCoeff>5.000000</viewDistanceCoeff>
<lodDistanceCoeff>5.000000</lodDistanceCoeff>
<foliageViewDistanceCoeff>5.000000</foliageViewDistanceCoeff>
the new one doesnt exsist.

You probably mean this:

Added separate control of foliage LOD distance to allow larger foliage view distances without hurting the performance too much

I am wondering too where is it.

Yep

I wish there was some sort of change to revert that part of the patch back. I just tried plowing and the change of the ground state from mulched to plowed was patchy and very delayed. I messed with my video settings pretty extensively to no avail.

Blows my mind at how you can copy and paste games over and over again but f them up every time.

I guess QA didn't try to do any work in a field prior to green-lighting the patch?

Is there some change we can make in the ini file to help remedy the situation?

My guess is that foliage distance was part of the shader problem with the flickering screen and other problem related to it.They come up with this setting and nerfed some aspect of the foliage distance.My game was looking gold before the patch and now its look really bad at ultra setting every maxout.

aka they love their pocket books over their community that plays their game.

honestly believe this game franchise just crashed, never seen this many issues with a farming sim and ive had it since 2013. what truly shows me that they messed up and want people still buying the game, is that they haven't released the patch notes on steam so people keep buying the game thinking its flawless

[littleronney]

false advertisement and fraud at its finest

[AintJaMama (Joe/BrotherBoaz)]

Yeah, unfortunately, the game went from enjoyable to unplayable for me. The glitched ground/foliage rendering really takes me out of things entirely. I just hope it gets resolved.

[littleronney]

at this point they all can go f themselves way better games out there and i actually own a farm so i dont need this. just fun to imagine owning pigs instead of cows.

there are two new parameters:
<foliageLODDistanceCoeff>1.300000</foliageLODDistanceCoeff>
<displacementViewDistanceCoeff>1.500000</displacementViewDistanceCoeff>

I only got these, and i just added 1 or 2 new ones since the update, but never seen the displacementViewDistance one.

            <viewDistanceCoeff>2.000000</viewDistanceCoeff>
            <lodDistanceCoeff>2.000000</lodDistanceCoeff>
            <foliageViewDistanceCoeff>2.000000</foliageViewDistanceCoeff>
            <terrainLODDistanceCoeff>2.000000</terrainLODDistanceCoeff>
            <foliageLODDistanceCoeff>2.000000</foliageLODDistanceCoeff>
            <volumeMeshTessellationCoeff>0.500000</volumeMeshTessellationCoeff>
