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?

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.

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.

never reproduced this glitch on mine after about 30 hours of playing it, and ive used manual cameras with zoom and moving in and out a lot too.

You have it, like everyone else. Play Cody, Theory, Michin or Tonga Loa and tell me again you don't. Also, use Jessica Carr as ref and you get this beautiful change.

Otherwise, come up with some screenshots.

Ouch, that's the worst so far

I'm getting the same issue, nothing but low quality models in match. I've sent a video to 2k support showing the error so hopefully if more people do it'll be fixed sooner rather than later.

putting in a ticket would be a waste of time.. they want everyone on the "next gen" versions of the game so they spend money on the island..... 2K totally dropped the ball on 2k25, and I for one and very disappointed. The game itself is way fun to play... but its the little things holding it back. Community Creations on steam is hot garbage and there are none of the good creators making CAWS that you can download on steam version cause they all are playin on ps5.

The Audience looks really blurry, other than that it looks fine for me.

Yeah that could be depth of field and or motion blur, idk what it's called here.

quite agree, depth of field and motion blur is hideous in ANY game, was only invented to cover up low performance on consoles so they could hide weak assets rendering levels behind smudgey stuff... looks terrible and unnatural in everything Ive ever played unless you have myopia.

OP is completely right. models and textures are low quality in matches, unless you are zoomed in close or in highlight reel. It looks much worse than 24, so something isn't right here. Devs just need to change the distance value, would take them about 2 mins.

100% this is happening to me too, make me laugh the people saying it's op's specs and calling it user error, this will be happening for everyone there is no setting the end user can change that would fix this.

*that you know....

Fact is there are so many variables to glitches due to the sheer variation of PC builds and drivers, background apps, hardware variations, bios settings, video settings, windows settings and patches, and game updates too, that its very hard to have two identical setups show identical issues, and even might be intermittent (this is why console issues tend to be picked up easier cos they are all the same setup, but it's not infallible as quality control on the silicon is not factored into that)

If 100 people bothered to come here and say they have the issue, what about the tens of thousands of others might not or didnt notice, and because they didnt turn up to comment, it doesnt validate your statement of everyone having the problem. Sample size matters on stats, but the stats can still be wrong unless every single person is polled.

So until officially confirmed by devs as a heavily reported issue to the bug report, this is just a tiny vocal minority. If you believe its a fact, then encourage people to submit bug tickets on the support site, not just moan here as that solves nothing.

Out of curiosity do you have a nvidea card and do you have 16x anisotropic forced in the driver ?

I do, and many other forced options via Nvidia Profile Inspector, I'm not some noob lol been a PC gamer for over 30 years.

Didn’t say u was sir , but could you turn it to app controlled and let me know if you see the issue on the game ?

hmmm i suppose i could make a manual profile to default everything sure just for that game... as mines set to global mode with things like allow negative LOD down to -1 so does improve a lot of games quality... wonder if clamped LOD is the reason people have issue? as thats then controlled in game?? hmmm I also run a 4090 so Vram isnt issue and 100gb Nvidia cache.... cos I can lol as well as forced higher AA options etc too.

Okay thank you 😀 i just thought about it as many people use nvidea inspector and control panel to change lods and filtering so that could make you not see it I guess

Would be funny if was as simple as that to fix. Also using driver 572.75 if that matters.

Also occurs to me theres is also a camera setting for the FOV defaults... havent changed that but might also be a thing if on ultrawide like me... anyway testing Cody vs DDP since both have specific haircuts now see what happens
