Low Poly on Sniper Vision in Online?!

[lost-in-emotions]

hey there,
dont know if this is a new bug or it was always.

but as i just realized, when i look through the sniper MKII,

that the cars have really low poly / textures far away.

 

is this normal, for the max. zoom-range with sniper?

 

when i get back into my heli and fly a little up,

u can clearly see that the game refreshs the textures.

caused be "high res on flying" in the settings?! OK!

but why so sh*tty on the feet? is this a settings problem?

That's normal.

 

It depends on your graphical settings (if you're on PC), but basically, to save on some resources, the game will only stream the high quality version of some objects/ peds/ vehicles when you're within the set distance.

Posting your settings in german on a forum where 99% of the members don't understand that language is a great idea.

You could have an 8K monitor and 3 x GTX 1080ti's in SLI (or whatever the best is these days) with everything maxed out and you'd still have the same issue.

 

There's a reason why there's two vehicle models for every vehicle in the game... the same reason one of the two models has "_hi" in its name.

Ok, so its exactly the view when u play?

 

(yes, i know it was german, but the most things can be translated even from "ungermans", we all know this suff like a dream )

Yeah it's the same when I play but then this particular computer isn't great. Long distance rendering has been changed a few times I think, since the early days of shooting drivers out of tanks. But if it's only something you've started seeing recently, then I'd check your machine is running 100%.

 

There's a setting you can change in the 'settings.xml' file found inside My Documents/ Rockstar Games/ GTA V which can help with the distance loading and reduce pop-ins:

 

"LodScale value", "PedLodBias value" and "VehicleLodBias value" can all be set to 1.000000 to help the higher detailed stuff to be loaded at a further distance. That's something you could try.

oh, ok. nice thx.

But isnt this (what u describe) the same as in the game setting under "extended graphics - extended viewsight 0-100%" ?

 

this is a setting, i think with a long time thread here with bugs. u can set it up, it it wont save after reloading the game.

Yeah don't know why some of those settings don't save after reloading the game, it's weird.

 

Yes I'm pretty sure that setting sets the "LodScale value" to 1.000000 when at 100%, but not the other two options. I think they only get pushed to 0.75 or something. It's been a while since I checked and there's usually something I've missed.

The Message for not saving is: "You have not enough Memory to Save".

Ok, i just have only 6GB RAM and only used 55% of it, but yea, he game must be right -_-

 

I will test "PedLodBias value" and "VehicleLodBias value" today ...

[lost-in-emotions]

can i delete the settings.xml, so that the game will set up a new one?

 

because, since i changed the .xml with the values, a error pop ups.

everytime i go into my settings in the game, it say its not saved.

even when i change something and save it, it comes again after restart
