Draw distance is broken again!

Just to reiterate, this bug seems to be a reappearance of one first noted by Bijan (I think?) that depends on latitude. Draw distance at the extremes gets progressively smaller.

We keep repeating that it's a bug, depending on latitude, and punctually comes the smarter guy posting a screenshot from the equator and saying "all is OK"

I measured the autogen and lo res imagery drawing line in Bavaria at 5 nm, not an equatorial or artic region 😉.

I wouldn't exactly say that Seattle WA. is on the equator.....

I’m really starting to believe this is all server-side related and has nothing to do with ones settings or particular system!

I noticed the trees in North Africa (Libya) popping up a lot closer with 200 lod and trees on Ultra than they used too (and yes there are trees in North Africa!)

Yeah my photo was Tanzania..  I have decent internet..  The UK looks underwhelming too.  It's just weird, these astonishing lighting, photoreal graphics for the entire world, and yet they can't get the trees right.

I see they have started work on a draw distance slider.  Only knowing Asobo I think the maximum on the slider would be what we have now 😄 They just don't notice it's a problem.

True! I am running 500 LOD from the confog file and it still isn't perfect.  It looks like they are trying a number of different things though (latitude fix etc.) so hopefully that will make things better!
