Stuck to low quality assets in match

[Sangral]

Anyone else having this problem? I have set everything to max settings but something seems broken on PC. In a match everyone has low quality hair and body textures but if I choose Highlight Reel then everything is how it should be and transforms into high quality.

I heard from someone that did not have this problem but I am sitting here with my 4090 and 7800X3D and have this.

How about you guys?

Highlight Reel:

You can also see this problem here in this video from someone (Look at Cody's hair)

EDIT:

I nailed the problem a little bit down. I did lot's of more comparisons. Found out that low asset models seems to glitch through the attire very often like Tonga Loa here:

Which doesn't happen on the high quality assets.

And then I found out that it's probably LOD based, and therefore an LOD problem. If I go very close to the model with the third person camera, it changes to high quality. So this is what's actually broken. The LOD is so short that the normal gameplay camera can't reach it and everything is low asset models in normal gameplay.

Edit 2:

Here are 2 more examples of this issue. Every PC version has this and yes, it's indeed because the LOD distance for High Quality assets is set too close to the models so it never triggers. This leads to moments like this where the bell rings and the second the match starts, all 4 characters turn into lower asset characters.

Or, problems like this, where I am sure that 2K doesn't wan't this to be a huge topic on social media.
Because you are only seeing lower asset models in gameplay, these models have slightly changed bodies and these don't react well anymore to the attires they are wearing. So you are constantly having smaller or bigger parts of the body glitching through the clothing, like here.

I am sure it's in 2Ks interest to get this fixed.

UPDATE:

The LOD issue is now officially in the Tracker of 2K for current problems! Please upvote to make them fix this.

They still got the description half wrong here tho. 🤦🏻‍♂️ The issue is always in gameplay and always because of a very simple and instantly noticable reason (The LOD "trigger" being too close to the characters) and not random and it is not appearing in Highlight Reel at all, that's why you can use Highlight Reel to compare.
It's like you explain things to them like they're 5 and they still throw every information together like AI 1.0 and make something confusing out of it. 😂


But still, upvoting would be nice.

Cant find it in the patch notes. Anyone tested?

They improved it, but so little you can still see the LOD change if you move with 3rd person camera a bit further LOOOOOL. 2k is really incompetent.

But since it wasn't mentioned in patch notes, hopefully this is not their way of fixing it and actually fix it someday, but who knows

Still not fixed as of 1.07.

The worst part is the attire clipping. It's REALLY bad with certain body types and renders many CAW options useless.

Oh well :( I literally got a video flagged by Youtube for "inappropriate content" since the clipping was happening in certain regions of the body.
I wanted to upload it to send it to the support but ended up deleting it and using another one. They probably wanna fix this ;)

Can confirm it is 100% a LOD issue too as if you use manual camera during a match and zoom in, the clipping is completely gone. No idea why it was done like this.

Can also confirm to not being fixed. However it got slightly better for me, meaning the distance before the LOD pops got a little larger. It is still horribly noticable on Jessica Karr.

And I am still convinced that the second LOD should be the third and vice versa. Jessicas hair is downright broken in the second LOD, however seemingly fine in the third.

Yes, they adjusted the value a tiny bit, why they don't just fix it completely? Doesn't make sense.

Patch 1.08 just released ... unfortunately still no mention about the issue. Atleast the invisible rivalry custom characters seems to be fixed. Will later test if there is another improvement

Edit: Nope still very noticable. More on certain superstars than on others.

I lost hope at this point lol, they didn't even fixed bruises on alternative attires the previous patch (even when the patch notes wrote so), can you test if bruises are present in alt community attires?

That is weird.. it seemed to work for me. Atleast on the atires I downloaded. Any specific where you can't see it? Some of them have body textures placed over them as wrestling attires. On these it cannot work since they are technically clothes.

Actually bruises and not blood? Tried several of them, should be just basic wrestlers with custom clothes textures, several people noticed it as well

Still an issue in 1.08. Attire clipping is just awful.

You can also tell there's more jaggy edges around the crowd and the ropes. I was just playing a match to compare some options and the aliasing isn't working as intended.

Going into Highlight Reel, the aliasing works and the crowd looks better. Others reported the same concerning the issues with the hair like Cody's or Montez'. It is definitely a bug in matches, otherwise these issues would still be noticable in Highlight Reel during the same match on the same hardware

is this fixed ?

Nope none of the issues in this thread have been fixed
