PJ,

It's time to tackle the texture and shadow popping. I assume it's named LOD and shadow distance in PC-terms.

Have you played through 1.6 yet to see if it's still there?

You never know, one of the many lines of code may have indirectly resolved it (it happens sometimes).

The new Delta's sound is sick
The loading times shortened indeed – no need to disable Core 0 for me from now on
Ambient sounds back in Service Area after selecting an option
Thank you!!!

Yeah. The daily in USA with the R2. You can clearly see in the distance there's 'no' shadows on the trees etc, and then if you approch it there's shadow. Same with the grass. You can clearly see the same effect in Monaco. Lemme take a screenshot, but i need to poop first. lol.

Also the leaves of the trees to have LOD problem. Further up the texture is different or low res, if you approach it loads to a better texture

However, it was also a issue with Dirt Rally 1. I bet it's just a limitation of the engine Codies uses.

https://imgur.com/a/27UQ1k8 Pics. You can clearly see the tree changing from shadowed, to not, to shadowed etc. Also tree branches, and leaves changes on other trees.

Here's Monaco too:

https://imgur.com/a/gIEdIQg You can clearly see on first pic there's is shadow on the wall. When you come closer there suddenly is not. In the last pic there's a bit of shadow in the trees etc. and if closer it's totally covered in shadows

This effect appears on every track, even Australia where there's shadow a few meters in front of you in the vegetation etc, and somewhat more there's not. If you race along the shadow just pops up.

For my specifications you can open my profile.

I found that in mode Manual H-pattern + Clutch or Manual Sequential & Manual H-pattern or Manual Sequential some cars have sequential transmission now, instead of H-pattern. For example: Audi Quattro S1 E2 and Peugeot 205 T16 Evo2

yes please... i mean i wont run a 10km stage without sound... so i have to retire everytime.. so all the multi event are unreachable, as i will likely have to retire one of the event :(

Try to pause game. Leave game screen in Backgeound (Alt tab) and change audio settings of soundcard and set back. Go back to to ingame and check sound. Was working on my side.

PJ. Can you confirm if I made my post clear. So I know you understand what I meant.

Also I did the 16km daily in Poland. It's a good track that shows all the popping and such; Trees dense from afar, but looks less dense when I approch them. Shadows in the distance, but they less dense or gone when closer, and vice versa. Or the distance is quite dark, but more lighten when I am driving on the dark spot. etc

I think I've got it and can pass it on.
