I think it's been in there for a while, perhaps forever, but I'm not sure. Once you notice the popping, you become fixated on it, and it becomes even more distracting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 19, 2017 I tried setTerrainGrid 3.125 but it still pop. If i remember correctly the pop effect became worse on Apex release. Like it they tweaked it for Apex jungle and this is the result. Apex also have lots of pop that you can't get ride even setting all to ultra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1064 Posted March 19, 2017 10 hours ago, Evil Organ said: I noticed that on playback...I'll take that little blighter out too! There are around a dozen clutter models that cause the horrible pop-in, thorns and thistles are the probably the worst culprits, followed closely by those pesky germader plants. Evil Organ, if you can fix those and release a little mod that PERMANENTLY removes them (if BIS won't do it !) then that would be a good interim measure ! However, don't walk but run in videos ... you can pick it up much more that way ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jarrad96 1940 Posted March 19, 2017 Some mods have a setting for terrain grid options (I can think of ALiVE has it as part of the mod itself, and I've seen a few scripts in MP servers that allow it as well as view distance)- would those make a difference?

Agreed, it's a good halfway house, it more or less leaves all the grass groups intact, plus some plant groups....once I pack up the config i'll post it. Edit...the config change will only cover Altis and Stratis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted March 19, 2017 Has anyone opened a proper ticket? The only one I've seen claims it's an issue with the GTX 970, which is not true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDcase 87 Posted March 20, 2017 I agree the LOD popping is so annoying (playing mainly on Tanoa) This has always been a problem in ARMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted March 20, 2017 I really hope BI fixes this engine-side. I don't play on Altis or Stratis basically ever. EO, is it out of the scope of the mod to cover the specific models so the tweak is universal rather than just the maps themselves? I looks amazing but I rarely have the itch to fight on the Greek islands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've played on a lot of community made maps, but i can't recall any that have the same aggressive pop-in that Altis and Stratis suffer from, i guess it would depend whether any community made maps used those same ground clutter models as the ones I've removed from Altis and Stratis....that being said if you have any terrains in mind, let me know in the thread I created for the mod itself and i'll happily take a look. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same plant is on A2CO Chernarus (although in smaller clumps), and there is no popping at all. Smooth as silk all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Adams 3 Posted March 21, 2017 As multiple people stated, you can disable Grass, but referring to some points brought up, it would actually be quite fun, if not by default implemented, by having the ability to configure Grass in order to make it sort of "Longer" or "Bigger", basically like people stated in games such as "Ghost Recon Wildlands", it would be fun, but of course if given the option, if this would not be implemented by Bohemia by default at least have the ability to configure the grass to your choice.

HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted April 10, 2017 Agreed. Just ran around a bit on Diyala (which uses these clutter/grass models) and this is just totally unacceptable IMO. How this continues to get past QA or at the very least, slowly touched upon with platform updates, is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed ^^ Especially since BI are actively recreating Malden which will re-use vegetation from Altis and Stratis. And if Project Argo is anything to go by, Malden is suffering the same issues that Altis and Stratis have..... I predict the future.....EO's Weedkiller for Malden! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rather than disabling the 3d models, I guess we could replace them by ones from CUP terrains? Proving Grounds and Takistan have similar clutter objects. Looking for suitable replacements would be tedious, but since CUP terrains don't seem affected by that issue, I reckon it could be worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking for suitable replacements would be tedious, but since CUP terrains don't seem affected by that issue, I reckon it could be worth a shot. The reason Proving Grounds looks and performs really well is it doesn't use any clutter models that have the rendering issues, it only uses eight clutter models, six of which are grasses that are also used on Altis, the only difference is the coloring.
