[INVESTIGATING] Draw Distance (PC 1080p)

Awful drawing distance destroys the graphics in this game.
even at max settings, never seen such bad drawing distance of objects/shadows like in this game, it is like ultra low.
i will not buy it like that.

Forza Horizon 4 DRAWING DISTANCE ISSUE - 2 - YouTube

this is an issue with the game engine, nvidia driver is not responsible about it.

I’ve had the bug since day one as well, running the game at extreme settings on a i7 8750H, GTX 1070, and 16GB DDR4. Hopefully this texture filtering and draw distance issue won’t be so bad when the full game launchs.

When i set lod´s to low, it looks more terrible, then i could see growing grass.
Sorry, but FH3 is better . :frowning:

If they need to increase performance, this is not a solution, we are on PC that cost as much as 4 or 5 consoles, this ultra bad drawing distance in texture, objects and shadow is unacceptable and this stopped me from buying the game.

guys stop worrying so much even the xbox one x has better texture filtering and lod so its just a bug not that the pc has been downgraded

I wouldn’t worry if we got some dev response/acknowlwdgement.

Agreed, if only we got a dev response or anything, it would put my mind at ease! This is a huge issue for PC players that want to run the game at high settings, while the draw distance is ps2 quality.

What is this ? are you kidding me ? Imgur: The magic of the Internet
is this a DX9 game from year 2005 ?
it is not a bug, they make it like that to increase performance on PC due to poor optimization, it is a console port copy paste to PC, because how they did not saw this disaster in drawing distance before releasing the demo? a blind man can see it, they did not tested the game ?

Just tested it out again and with the older driver (398.11) it still looks much better than with the newer ones. Only thing I hope is that the view distance for trees is improved by at least 20 metres in the final game but other than it looks fine now, I’ll def keep those drivers for now.

It is a bug, try downloading the driver 398.11 and re-download the game, maybe it fixes it for you too.

Could you take some screenshots of how the game looks now with the old driver?

Newest driver

Old driver

as i saw, nvidia driver didn’t fixed the issue

What do you mean? The texture with the old driver looks significantly better. If your issue is with the draw distance then you just have to live with it, the Forza games never had great draw distances.

why I need to live with it ? from FH3 to FH4 there are 3 years, and still, the same awful drawing distance, like there is no technology going on.
if I need to play with such bad drawing distance, I could buy a console instead of my PC and save a high amount of money.
I will not buy it like that with such bad drawing distance.

2 years actually and it’s still an Xbox One game. what did you expect?

We’re talking about the PC version which was (supposedly) designed with the PC in mind from the ground up (hence the extra graphic features not available on Xbox One X). This is why people are frustrated with no option to improve ugly textures and practically no draw distance.

UHHHMMM Of course it’s designed with PC in mind it’s on PC after all.
The textures are fine, and yes I agree the draw distance is bad as I said in my other comment they should at least increase it by 20 metres on PC for the extreme setting. However, it’s still a console game, it’ll look like one, even on PC.

I think older driver maybe only chanches the anisotropic filtering, but not the draw distance. :wink:
On 4k Videos from XBox One X, the draw distance looks the same…but we want more, maybe game should have a “extrem extra ultra high”-setting. X-)

…maxed out game has enough fps for more draw distance!

no matter what driver i use it doesn’t change anything for me and the anistropic filtering is still broken

Haven’t noticed this problem myself. Digital foundry took note at how little pop in there was in the game and after I bumped up environment detail to ‘extreme’ I have to agree. Just did a go round in FH 3 and the pop in is definitely better in 4. Running in 4k with 399.24 drivers fwiw.
