High Settings yet beaches and rivers look like the old Sim

Hi there! I have my settings pretty much set to ultra with the exception of trees and water waves yet when I fly in between mountains, rivers look like a blue line and it is quite disappointing. I have tried changing all kinds of settings yet I can´t seem to fix it.

Any ideas?

Regrettably it’s all in the hands of the programmers

Hello, I keep having the same problem. I go to the same places that the Around The World series shows, yet I never see clear, light blue water at all in any of the islands. Can someone please help? My settings are pretty much at ultra.

It’s not your settings. Those trailer videos don’t match the actual gameplay.

What you mean they’ve been post-processed?

Mon dieu!

Thanks a lot. Do we have any idea as to when it will be a universal feature for all simmers?

Nope, they mentioned looking into a global, long term fix in a Q&A session when pressed about the state of water masking, but there was no timeline or suggestion of when or even if they’re going to begin that feature.

I have everything set to ultra, and the 2 sliders up all the way. I have 60FPS and it looks super close to real life. Maybe it’s your specs?

What are your specs, and resolution?
