Can we please get a patch for the animated billboards?

Dune_Jumper

All the animated billboards are low-res for me. I've put 30 hours into the game, and 10/10 times the billboard textures don't load properly. They're so bad I literally can't tell what they're supposed to display, they don't even have working animations. I'm playing with everything on Ultra, and I usually get around 50 - 60 FPS. But the billboards just don't load.
I also get low-res shadows sometimes.

There is a problem with texture streaming in MEC, textures just don't have time to load because of the amount of them and their size. Now you need at least a 4GB card to go for Ultras, even if you do get stable FPS on your 2GB 760. Lowering to "High" settings will most likely fix the texture resolution issue (as peculiar as it sounds).
Or at least it's worth a try.

Antiversum

Lowering quality doesn't solve anything about steaming. And there aren't more textures than in any other game. It's simply bad programming.

Do you have Limit GPU checked off in the video options page? It's on by default and really makes things look bad.

Oh my gosh, turning that off fixed it. Thank you so much!
Rofl I can't believe I played through the entire game with that on. Turning it off definitely impacted my framerate though.

Sad just how many posts there are on these forums like this, and how bad it makes the game look.

At least edit your title to reflect your error. You're under minimum spec. Expect minimum spec image quality. GPU memory limit is there to ensure consistent frame rates. You're playing a race game, not an RPG. Frame times are more important than visual integrity.
