[Xbox Series X/S] Visual Downgrade - LOD Reduction

Any news about the release of the fix?

I need to report another LOD bug in beta:

Below 3050 ft everything is ok when it comes to textures quality but above 3050 ft ground textures looks like from xbox360 game.

Wasn’t keen on the LOD here

That’s a server issue not LOD.

I used to fly on PC where it was easier to isolate and diagnose issues, so I can’t blame XBOX players who struggle to know the difference. We don’t have the sliders on console!

Server bugaboos happen on both systems. That’s often the square texture pop in or melted photogrammetry.

LOD distance is a circular radius around the airplane.

I just made the exact point but there are people here who are very desperate to have everyone believe that “everything is normal”

There might indeed be a smaller object drawing circle after the last beta update on Series X. It seems they are still changing some settings. I hope nothing gets downgraded in the final version

I’m glad you posted screenshots of this cuz I was getting ready to. Yes the exhaust is really exaggerated. I’ve seen this from the first AAU beta but only on Xbox.

Should be officially released this month with the Aircraft and Avionics Update. Or you can join the beta and see it today. But we are getting close to an official release.

Lol, who exactly are desperate to say that? No one has shown the LOD issue hasn’t been resolved and instead conflate other graphics-related issues with the LOD issue.

Nobody has even made a thread about unresolved LOD issues in this current Beta’s forum where something might be done about it if they could prove the issue is ongoing
 but I am skeptical. It appears to be fixed. The lack of bug reports ALONE is telling.

When this became an issue during the last SU’s beta, there was a thread talking about the LOD issue and within a few days it had well over a thousand posts. That’s what it looks like when something is obviously wrong with the graphics. And within a few days, MS/Asobo had marked the thread as a confirmed bug that they intended to fix.

That’s how betas work. That’s how issues get resolved.

To those in this thread who swear there is still a LOD issue in the current beta, maybe do your job and report it, post photos, and get the issue confirmed instead of dunking on folks in here who are just reporting what they see in the current beta build
 a fixed LOD.

I’m on Beta and I’m now experiencing a noticeable mountain morphing/LOD, even in places where it wasn’t so bad just a few days ago.

Report beta issues during beta in the beta forums and often they get fixed before official release. Especially if others see the same issue and MS/Asobo can reproduce.

No need for applause! I made that thread well before your tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte with others here.

Just thought I’d direct them to an outlet for their complaints.

:grin:

I did my research before bed last night! :joy:

It was going to be true until you snuck in there and made it false!

I’ll do what I can to investigate. And you’ll get my vote right now because I noticed some odd pop in fairly close up near Okinawa last night.

I always noticed more pop-ups in Japan, even before SU11 and the recent Beta update.

This is SO hard because after the LOD issues we kinda trained ourselves to look for pop in and I can’t remember if it was like this before! :joy:

Lot of slowdown and stutter in the game today. Im on the beta. Never had it this bad ever since I started playing.

Haven’t noticed any frame rate problems (XSX).
