Hey all

Living on Dartmoor with possibly the worst internet on earth at the moment it's going to be a day or two before I can play the update.

My main gripe with the previous build was the tree LOD being nerfed.

I have a reasonable system with a 5700XT.  I'm happy with 30FPS although I suspect I'm going to get more.

What effects do changing the LOD in the CFG have on the dreaded pop up and tree draw distance now?  It seems some people are getting terrible pop up and some aren't.  I guess I need to see how it runs on my system.  Does altering the value have a massive affect on frames or quality of the scene?

Before I dive in, thoughts appreciated. 

I've upped mine from 2.0 to 4.0 - still get the popping but PC is handling it ok.

Yep, changed my LOD to 4.0 and LOD is way better than how it used with not much of FPS impact. I could even push it further to 6.0 but I think 4.0 is a very good balance between graphics and performance.

Ive done a few test and for me setting at LOD 300/300 gives the same FPS as I had before. 400/400 looks ever better but it is a FPS hit. But you will have to test yourself or if you lock at 30 then you could easy have the head room to run 400/400.

I use 400/400 now, and I lose about 5 fps, but SU5 gave me around 10 fps improvement so i'm still at 5+
