Cause of textures/shadows popping up? Distracting!

assetto_sweden · Jan 17, 2020

Hi! Whats the reason that textures, shadows etc is popping up in front of the car when driving? I have a fast rig, playing in Full HD. Ryzen 5 at 3.8ghz, stock GTX 1070, 16 ram, 2 X SSD (system + gaming).

The GPU is not under very high load, I have confirmed that with monitorings (OSD).

Its a bit distracting. Details or shadows on the rear of the cars suddenly changing light, texture etc. Also the textures on the side of the road is popping.

Any specifik video setting I should take a look at? Just using content manager with latest preset. No SOL or similar installed at the moment.

Oh..and a bonus question for you: Does the Experimental 8X AA (top of video settings kind of) also give ju sudden stuttering in game?

I got the same issue but not on all tracks.
I have also the same gpu.
There are some tracks without any issues. Do you get this issue on all tracks?

I don't use 8x MSAA, so can't help you with your last question.
Btw. I use 4x MSAA and MFAA in the nvidia control panel + SMAA with reshade.

If you're using CSP, try updating to the latest version. I had a lot of bad shadow pop-in until fairly recently, but it's fine now.

Try unchecking Merge Meshes (in CSP settings, I guess) That fixed a problem I had at Laguna Seca with tyre walls popping in and out.

Ok. Even in latest .46 version? Seems like i still have the problem.

Shadows popping in is gonna be pretty visible in every version of AC, csp or not. Latest versions smooth the transition somewhat. But it's just kinda how the game is, similar to the other racing sims.
