Major texture issue

I experience same issue with the LOD. I always was getting some 25 FPS so this is not the problem at the moment. The problem is, regardless of what I choose, LOD stays on the minimum available setting. The game autodetects settings as "high".
 
It seems, that the only thing that has any significant boost of FPS is lowering the resolution of the game. With the quality settings you get a boost of a couple of frames, but lowering resolution gives an instant performance boost.
 
I tried all possible fixes for this problem: I changed the graphics settings, deleted the graphics folder, turned on and off the loading of shaders, changed the monitor resolution. And the only thing that all this gave was an increase in FPS. But it didn’t remove lowpoly. The latest hotfixes gave an increase in FPS. The video memory on the gtx 1050 is not fully used, but only 1.6GB out of 2GB. Textures are not loaded only close, if you look into the distance, everything is fine. From all this it follows that the problem is not at the level of the video card, but at the level of the game engine.

My card uses 3.6gb out of its 4gb, when on ultra. Though it appears to hit 3.9 briefly, then drop back down, as though it tired to fill all 4gb, then thought, ah... Not enough space, best back off.

And that's why the LOD stuff ain't working.

Best armchair theory it got

Video memory leak?
 
I stumbled upon this little glitch today.

Well I guess the investment I made back in 2017 when I built my last Gaming Rig - to go with the best Graphics card at the time - a ASUS RTX 1080ti with 11GB VRAM and oodles of overclocking potential - was a good one . I see very few issues other than occasional glitches with invisible rocks ./ floating shadows on terrain . Apart from that I am standing around staring in awe at the view ....
 
Same problem here - I /can/ trick it into loading the textures if I set the presets to the VR versions but it runs like bum-bum

Is this a recognized issue that we can expect getting hot fixed or refund is a better option? It's unplayable in a state it is, and I'm kinda wondering if this ever gonna be addressed or screw it, ask money back and forget about this game like a bad dream it is now.

Im 3 days away before Steam's Refund offer expires, i really, really hope not having to do that, PLEASE DEVS SAY SOMETHING!!!!
Game is indeed unplayable.
 
1999 called, it's asking its graphics back. I just asked the refund, I don't believe it's gonna be fixed.

I played over 2 hours of the game while trying to fix the LOD issue and now steam are refusing to refund me -_-
 
Arrrgh looks like I can't refund it either due to troubleshooting for over 2 hours. Genuinely upset at a company I have been keen to defend for many years.
 
that s true, most of us seems to be below the minimum 3gb VRAM required, we are indeed screwed. There are a few exceptions, kinda give me hope in some sort of fix.

there s even people who can t actually play the game at all, stuck somewhere, crashing and so... I don t think we can achieve an Horizons performance level ever with 2 gb VRAM.

It would be awesome having just the correct LOD for now lol
 
Here's what I get for stars now, Ultra, on a 6900XT. I've deleted the graphics config file and re-specified the resolution and preset again. No change.

Normally you get these neat spouts of fire, but now stars look like Minecraft lol.
