A fix for the Pop-in graphics and draw distance?

[Rickert]

I'll start off with some basic specs;

R5 3600
16Gb Ram @3200
(Sapphire Pulse) 5700XT

The game runs with all ingame settings maxed at 1440P 2xMSAA and has no trouble running this.

However, for some reason the draw distance on grass, objects near the road and trees is absolutely unbearable, the shadows that are cast on these objects are even worse.

The pop in on grass/shadows/trees is just too much, especially on maps like Australia and New England.

Driving towards a set of trees along the road that create a shadow over the track will look absolutely sunny untill you are about 50m away from it and it starts showing the cast shadows.

I read about people changing certain things in their settings.imi file but I'm not sure what to change to which exact values.

There are however draw distance settings in there and by changing anything in the settings.imi file, the game will show 'Custom' shadow/trees/track quality in the ingame menu so I'm pretty sure it's possible.

I love the series but this shatters any sense of immersion

I see the draw distance in motion too, its like owning windows XP with a 1.3GHZ processor 16mb ram memory lol

Hi everyone.
I also have a problem with draw distance, but in my case it more looks like a graphic artifacts.
My config is R5 3600, 16GB RAM@3200, RX 5600XT 6GB.
There are black spots on the road ahead, and what's more annoying - the same problem take place even on the low preset.

Yep, I've same problem, the weird thing is: first Dirt Rally doesn't this problem, so I refund this game, give bad review on Steam, and go back to play Richard Burns Rally.

When? Considering you've played 73 hrs of DR 2.0 and still own the game...?

&

91 hrs in Dirt Rally...?

If only there was a custom setting in that file to also prevent Finland looking like a dog's breakfast.

I haven't noticed the problem you mention myself, but it's quite possible it's just that... I haven't *noticed*.

I just noticed that the issue keeps popping only in Finland. But it's still kind of frustrating since I've bought the DLC mostly because Finland is my favorite stage.

Hey I know it's been more than a year already but I have the same card and the exact same issue. Any way to resolve it? I am starting to think that this card doesn't like the game at all as there are numerous issues that are pretty unique or solely on AMD cards.

Ground Clutter LOD is a fix for draw distance of grass - yes. But doesn't fix the black spots on the road unfortunetly. None of the LOD settings in config do.

Hope this guide can help. It contains a custom dll that addresses some VR issues as well

I have seen this one but didn't manage to get it to work as i don't use VR. Do you know if there is something special needed in order to make it work on flatscreen.
