Graphics problem in Assassins Creed?

There is a problem with my graphics in Assassins Creed where some things are not loading until moving close to them which it wasn't doing last night when I was playing. It is frustrating me because its making it look stupid! here is a screen shot.

Sorry about the size but I can't be bothered resizing.

Not sure what youre getting at or they arent very representative pics...

Those are shadows mate.

Also you do know the entire level not being drawn is a feature of the game?

Did the group of people on the bridge suddenly appear?

Look at the tree in the background.

Anyone know what I am talking about with the tree...?

I see what you're referring to, but that's really no different to a lot of games I've played. Objects may appear from a distance, just not fully 'fleshed out'. It's better than the object just popping up out of nowhere (pop-in) I guess.

I don't claim to have a great understanding of 3D rendering or anything, but I personally wouldn't worry about something so insignificant.

It is really annoying and noticeable when on a horse and riding I get bushes poping up and stuff.

Hopefully this video explains what is happening a bit better sorry for the lag.

I haven't, Tried it at max and at lowest still the same.

check anisotropic filtering

Murray · 13 May 2011 at 13:33

It has Multisampling which I have put at max but same results.

Draw distance too short?

isn't that related to AA ?

maybe you need to check your graphics settings in your video drivers control panel

Yeah but there isn't an option for it. :mad:

Yeah it is related I think, Can't find anything to do with Draw Distance in it.

Assassin's Creed seems to be a game where no amount of graphics altering will have any affect on performance. E.g., Despite no AA looking horrendous, I get no extra fps by using 8xAA in any Assassin's Creed game.
