Draw Distance Issue

[Napalm_Death]

Hi does anyone know how to improve the pop in/draw distance? always in alexandria and near it, it happens where the enemy and civilians pop in, almost looks like sand texture and can't be attacked either. I saw someone say to downgrade to 1.03 but can't do it it seems

Hello Napalm_Death,

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing a draw distance issue.

Can you please provide us with your full PC specs against your in-game settings, so we can have a look? Additionally, can I kindly ask you to share with us a short video of this occurring?

Many thanks and if you have any other questions, please let us know.

Your customer support is generally useless, been struggling for a year now just to get division 2 to be transferred, anyways first off i know my cpu is underpowered, an i3 3240 but the draw distance issue isn't my hardware issue as i have seen countless of other people complaining about the exact same issue with far stronger systems,apperently the issue is with the 1.05 patch. my specs is as following:
i3 3240
9gb ddr3
gtx 1050ti 4gb
500gb hdd

I saw a lot of people mentioning to downgrade to 1.03 but i have no idea how to, i bought this game last year and i haven't been able to play it properly, the draw distance is an especially mood killer, its always around alexandria being the trouble spot although it does happen in other areas too, i usually get around 40-50fps in the performance graphs, game is set on medium on 1600x900 resolution. the problem is the draw distance, it pauses the game while it streams in, at times the npc's spawns in, i tested it yesterday where there was a convoy immune to damage, they almost looked like sand textures and none of my attacks did any damage. this is a wide spread problem, go through the forums and you'll see loads of people complaining about the same thing but in usual ubisoft fashion, it gets ignored

Fix For The Render Distance Issue

Hi everyone, so i found an fix for the render/draw distance issue, so far i haven't had any issues yet since i changed it, currently in Alexandria and mine hasn't given me load in issues or any of the issues, So go to your ACO config ini in your Assassin's Creed Origins folder, Look for the following, Specifically PixelDensity, i originally tried 5.00000 but it made my game insanely slow, You can either copy the text or just change it, Those of you who are using an low end system like myself, this works well, i hit 30fps in cities and 50's exploring:

I use an i3 3240 cpu, 8gb ddr3 and an gtx 1050ti so these works great for me, will be upping the settings once my ryzen 7 arrives.
Hope this helps you

No problem, any idea when you will release an patch to fix this so we don't need to struggle? the game needs to get the stuttering fixed as well, i really don't know why ubisoft can't get pc optimisation right

Yes, please, do something about the microstutters. I just wanted to revisit this game after a long time and the issue is still there. I can run Valhalla butter smooth at max resolution at 2K, Odyssey as well maxed out at 4k, but this game outright refuses to run smoothly.

Agreed, i tried to play, fixed the render issue but ended up uninstalling cause of the stutters. Its disappointing, its probably the one AC that i really want to play and enjoy but the stutters makes it impossible, big cities is the problem
