A strange work-around for pop-in textures and blackouts.

[SkribblesNBITS]

I've noticed this mostly happens to ryzen+rtx users. i'm set up like this as well.

ROG Strix G10DK
Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon
Geforce RTX 3060 12G
32G DDR4

A word on monitors. I've been using, without issue an Acer ED320Q Curve.
I recently purchased a Hisense LED LCD 65" TV.

My monitor is on a DP cable. on a whim i plugged in my television as dual monitor and ran it as primary. The game loaded fine and the first few moments of a free run test lap looked a lot better. I quit out, went back to my Geforce control panel and defaulted everything (I had texture LOD set to "clamp") went to Geforce experience and had it optimize for the televisions rez (3280x1440? i forgot and im on a roll) and I have been enjoying the game for five hours now.

It isnt perfect, but at least the immersion breaking graphics are gone.

I tried unplugging my desktop monitor and the pop-ins/blackouts came back full force on the big screen. So i went back to Dual/Big Primary. Since it's kind of working im not tweaking with it.

For my in game graphics settings, ive left most of it the way "experience" sets it. ive upped the rear mirror and particles to ultra and turned on antistropy 16. 60fps solid. some textures load lo-rez (pit crew, spectators, some occasional signage) but i can live with that. I'm sure therei s more to be tweaked but I just want to play the silly game already.

I hope this helps. Good luck out there.

I had the disappearing road textures and other road side objects.

I fixed it by making sure all graphics options were set to something other than "AUTO".

After that everything worked perfectly and I haven't had any missing objects since.

@pawnstar: The opposite. Seems to like the multiscreen and the television a LOT. especially on dual graphics setups like mine (radeon on board). droping one or the other brings back popins and blackouts. Forza is only dedicating 7.xxG of my 12G on the graphics card and is barely touching my CPU... so the rest of the games shortcomings still apply. menu bugs, save baloney... its all there.

Interesting, so what happens if you only plug 1 monitor into your GPU and disconnect the rest , so nvidia control panel cant see multiscreen at all even though its not active

Are we saying "Forza motorsports doesnt like multiscreens being connected whilst running"

I have 3 display port monitors connected all the time to my 2080. I play on my main screen at 1440 since triple monitor pulls my frames down to sub 20. I get the tires but no car in the cutscene's momentarily as it loads. Other than that I have not noticed any texture oddity's.

@staquix: same... during loading some stuff takes a second but during play, if anythings popping i'm not noticing it.

It's like there is a bunch of magicians in the Steam Community. Another weird bug that doesn't make any sense and only one person experiences it. Yeah totally makes sense.

Like the game's textures give a damn how many screens you got...

[SkribblesNBITS]

one more thing, Both monitors are plugged into my graphics card. in case anyone might try running one from the board.

You get it if you try play on a HDD or slow SSD. It's the way it streams textures
The minimum requirements state SSD.
20% of the community who have issues most of them are just running on HDD

Ppl that have issues, maybe should create an exception for the windows defender for the game folder. And shouldn't use ANY third party antivirus software because they are useless anyway. There are seriously ppl out there, that don't create exceptions for game folders. For some weird reason some ppl think, games would contain virues and such and just keep monitoring it by the AV. That is dumb and nothing but a waste of ressources.

I have a Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB with Heatsink and i use Windows 11, so the game even uses Direct Storage. I never had texture issues. I play the game with the Digital Foundry Optimized Settings but without RT. V-Sync and G-Sync is active in the Nvidia Control Panel, i turned off V-Sync ingame and set it to unlimited FPS ingame.

I only got 2 crashes in like 90 hours, never had texture issues. The only problem i have is bad frametimes and sometimes stuttering if i play with drivatars. If i am alone on a track, there is like 0 stutters and frametime problems. So it all has to do with bad CPU optimization that i have performance issues.

Usually the problem sits in front of the monitor and it's not the game or the hardware, it's mostly a user problem. Many ppl are just too dumb to use computers, simple as that.

There are ppl wondering why they have connection issues with a "Strict NAT Type".
There are ppl wondering why they have problems with games in general, with Kaspersky or other nonsense blocking so pretty much everything on their computers including their game folders.
There are ppl that max out their V-RAM and then wonder why there are texture problems. Spoiler Alert you can't play the game maxed out in 4K with 8 GB V-RAM and expect it to run without errors. In general there should always be 2 GB free V-RAM as a buffer.

next time do a straw poll for fundamentals of a video game instead of a mechanic

You are one of the dumbest users here, so shut the hell up.

[Mexicola9302]

I complain about lack of freedom of choice. But you don't get it, because you are too stupid.

[Mexicola9302]

I never had saving problems, so hmm...

[Mexicola9302]

Complaining and crying are two different things.

and trust me i know that car xp update woulda felt like a kick in the nuts
so nothing was done

not really complaining and crying both sound like "waaa"

Learn english and how to use punctuation i am done discussing anything with you. All you type is a bunch of gibberish.
I put you on the blocklist and bye.

I was going to suggest that if you stand on one leg and raising both arms out in front of you whilst exclaiming ''how many clowns can make furthered diatribe riddled comments.'' Or simply put regurgitate that my dad is bigger than your dad whilst looking Ike a complete 'Kevin' ,just pretending everything is ticketyboo!
Then the game plays flawlessly.

I see a name I recognise. One that is blocked. I remember why.

This and much more is why modern gaming has gone to the dogs.

When you have a total and utter 'Kevin'' exclaiming the game is the best thing since sliced bread'' against an ocean that argues the opposite you know you are dealing with a thoroughbred numpty.


Now back to Age Of Empires.

funny thing i never got any texture or missing texture problems at around 100 hours playtime with the latest windows 11 build
but i got frequent crashes since the forza update specialy in a party
so i found out windows 11 update (KB5031354) can be problematic after uninstalling this win 11 update i suddenly got missing textures lol at this point man iam pretty sure the stuff that happens with forza is not only forzas fault.

Iam not sure yet if the crashes are gone or different than before as i did not played MP without this update.
