About LOD (level of detail) of far objects (particularly in buildings)

[sutalu]

What is your opinion about the implementation of LOD in this trilogy?

 

I mean, I see this... and cry :___( It's so ugly... Even I think is a kind of dynamic LOD generated on the fly by the unreal engine.

 

I have never seen that in a game... only in google earth. And for a game I think it's a bad decision. It would have been better to have done the LODs for the objects manually, but that would have taken a long time.

If your PC can handle it you can make that better. That is, if you're playing on PC.

 

Open:

<YourUser>\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition\Config\WindowsNoEditor

and edit "CustomSettings.ini"

 

Uncomment the config option "gta.worldcomp.distmult" by removing the semicolon (;) and set it to like 5.0

I set it to 8.0 at first but it costed a few more FPS than I would've liked, so I set it to 5.0 which is a nice compromise between detailed objects in the distance and still high FPS.

Thanks for the advice! I play on PS5, but it's good to know

Yeah, idk why they removed fog. I can see the mountain from sam fierro and it’s insanely undetailed. If they gonna show us things from afar, atleast make it detailed

It's like the meme going on about this whole game being remastered by an AI.

it looks like sh*t basically, for example the container ship whenever i see it in LOD, it looks like a huge mess imo

LOD in DE based on regular textures (as I see on screenshots) but in original game this is another small textures and low-poly models. Some of them different and contains beta content

I only like that I can see the sky scrapers in LS from Grove street. I think that gives LS a cool vibe. Even seeing them from other parts of the map.

 

But I hate that I can see Mt Chiliad from basically anywhere. And I can see those satellite towers from anywhere in the game..
