Ugly graphics glitch - Low detail terrain popping?
In certain areas of the game, I get what looks, to me, to be extremely long range, low LOD versions of the terrain popping in for a single instant then disappearing. It is extremely ugly looking and ruins the visuals when it occurs. It only happens when moving the character or the camera, and while it can be made to happen repeatedly, the effect itself is extremely brief.
Many areas of the game are immune to it. I've never seen it happen indoors, reinforcing my belief that I'm seeing low detail versions of the terrain. In some locations it is very minor, but some, like one of the hills near Flotsam, it can be extreme.
I cannot take screenshots of it because the actual issue only persists for a frame or two. I cannot take videos of it because running Fraps in video capture mode actually stops it from happening.
Any help would be appreciated.
