So this is version 1.0
The LOD/popping in issue thought to be introduced in 1.1 was not a result of 1.1, as you can see from the first two images, the second image being just an inch forward, two additional people popped in to the screen.
Strangely. I went to a third angle and was able to get the 1 guy visible from like 3x the distance. So it seems this issue isn't a result of 1.1, but hopefully is fixes at some point in a future patch.

Hah yes! I am not alone. Game runs like ass when you force it so I've disabled it for this game, it was a hard thing to stomach..

Some of the LoD was also thought to come from the latest Catalyst 11.5b hotfix. Are you AMD? Which driver?

Intro is skippable. I click the game and then tab my mouse button 5 times fast. Boom, no loads
I agree, though. Its annoying as hell.
EDIT: Oh wow, there is an intro remover

Are you playing on a MacPro or something? Lololl. whyyy?
ugh, really confused about what to set my Texture Memory at now... at first it was high for 1gb cards and very high for anything around 2gb. As time went on people said if you had 1gb its fine for "very high". Fast forward some more and now people are saying you can change the value to 1000 with a 1gb card? that doesn't seem right to me but hey if people are saying its working okay who knows..
I guess i'll have to fiddle with it myself

I think the value in the user.ini file corresponds directly to how much VRAM you have. I think I read that the Ultra setting only changes the .ini to 600 or 800 or something so someone with more than that can go higher.
Im pretty sure thats what it was. Can someone else here who actually changed their .ini clarify?
Minsc said:
Hmmm. I hope this does get fixed then.
For what its worth, I ran some tests at 11.5a and 11.5b this morning and didnt see a difference in LOD. In fact, both looked identical to me with a slight 1-2 FPS gain (whoopie!) on 11.5b. I was running version 1.1 of the game both times, though.
I hear ya about upgrading too. I was on 10.10e until late February and only upgraded to 11.5 because I wanted the most recent for TW2. Ill probably stick with these unless 11.6 brings in some crazy improvements.

it didn't help, config tool helped. It had windowed mode by default.
Also another problem - I have highest texture settings with no compression but I see pretty low-res textures (at least they seem like that to me). Never had this problem on the first run on my retail version. What should I do?

Well, that is still tame, isn´t it? The shimmering edges are bad, as is the hair, I agree, but sitting on my couch I don´t notice the grass, for example. The edge shimmering isn´t as pronounced as in a lot of other games, AssCreed1 drives me mad in the present setting, urgh.
The pop in is more distracting, even though it isn´t nearly as bad as Crysis 2 on highest settings. Especially grass, there´s a magical cirlce around Geralt that makes grass inside it look different to the grass a few mm outside it.
I hope this engine will grow and age well and lots of other games are made with it. It even beats Metro silly in some aspects, but runs much better. Now if only they´d get the game launcher, DLC, registrarion and patching to work for everybody

I only do that with my keyboard drivers, and my bios.
LOD distance set to "Far" = MeshDistanceScale 1.2 in the user.ini file
LOD distance set to "Normal" = MeshDistanceScale 1.0
I tried playing with the value like this post I was reading from the GOG forums
I don't really notice that much of a difference. Still getting lots of pop-in

You have to use a mod: http://gamemodscore.org/downloads.php?do=download&fileid=112jett said:
back again with a post from another forum. This might help some people here not sure. Thanks to Stoner-Pimp on the guru3d forums.
well, just when I thought I was done playing around with settings... here we go again.
Oh and btw I'm pretty sure the LOD setting doesn't affect small things like grass but for texture on rocks/trees/walls you'll notice the biggest difference.

Yes, this is true... unless you set user.ini to Read Only.

That glitch has been there since 1.0, the config doesn't change shadow presets at all in Custom mode. Not sure why.

There's a mod to make the limit 900 instead of 300, which translated is more like making it 650 instead of 50, since I started chapter one with around 200-250 lbs of bulk I couldn't bear to toss. That way it's not unlimited, but it's not a ridiculously small amount like 300 (which is more like 50 for me).

I checked it without custom mode (with show advanced not checked and just using the preset config sets, if thats what you mean)
low spec - MaxCubeShadowCount=3
ultra spec-MaxCubeShadowCount=1
that doesn't seem right does it? unless thats one setting is better the lower the value but that doesn't make sense to me. Ugh my head hurts.
How does this look for a GTX 460/Q6600 combination?
