Dramatic livery pop-in in Night Races (PC Version).

Hello everyone,

So I’m curious to know if anyone else as been having this issue. Basically when taking part in night races I’ve noticed a very dramatic pop-in issue regarding custom liveries for AI drivers. When racing I can be a short distance away and have the car livery and even general overall colour change dramatically from say a pink/black livery design to suddenly turning blue when at a specific distance. That distance can be short especially in corners and the effect is downright ugly in a game that is mostly beautiful to look at. Why is this the case? and is there a way of solving this issue? It’s so ugly I find it hard to believe this is how it should look. It even makes shadows seem odd with the cars looking like they only have a single wheel in the middle of the car when viewed from a distance. I have read of issues related to the lighting in night racing so maybe that is partly to blame.

I’ve done some research and couldn’t find much regarding this issue so I’m curious to know if this is only affecting a few players. Should note I’m running the game on PC with everything to max. Is this as issue related to draw distance or something else entirely.

Below I have linked an image showing what I mean. The blue car ahead actually as a black and pink livery but for some reason turns blue at a certain distance, it’s not until I drive much closer to it that it reloads the livery. It looks downright ugly.

The image below is what the actual car looks like with correct livery.

So anyone else noticed this bug/issue? It’s really rather distracting.

I’d appreciate any tips and advice if anyone as any. I’ll see if I can capture some screenshots of the issue in action and post.
Thank you in advance.

UPDATE

I decided to experiment (mess around) with the graphical settings a little and I think I have discovered the problem regarding the awful LOD as shown in your first picture. So I went into video options and set dynamic customization to ‘default’ instead of custom and noticed the awful LOD issue with cars disappeared entirely when racing at night around Abu Dhabi. I then went into each separate video option and discovered that ‘Car Model Quality’ is causing this problem for me at least. Before I had every setting set to max and so I went through every option and turned them from ‘Dynamic’ to High or Ultra except for Car Model Quality which I kept at Dynamic and I think that as solved the issue for me without (hopefully) decreases the look for the game. As long as you have Dynamic Render Quality set to what you want (Ultra for me) then the game should still provide Ultra quality Car Models Quality when driving close and get rid of that awful pop-in affect.

Would love others having this issue to give this a try for me please. Just to make sure.
