My thanks to whoever the Reddit user is who posted that (it’s not me, I’m arioch_rn over there) but they’ve got it a little bit wrong - the issue is now Confirmed so it won’t Expire.

Also the shadow of the strut is missing. I'll see if I can find some time later today to also add more shots, I have left my ship for months now on an thin-atmospheric planet with adequate lighting to show this problem immediately.
It’s not just the strut shadows that disappear, all the shadows except the pilot chairs are gone - notice how the deck by the chairs and in the foot wells lose their covering shadows.
Yah, I'm just pointing out the most obvious part. The lighting of that planet I mentioned above really shows it, it's almost epilepsy inducing if you fly fast since the toggling seems to occur faster (I imagine it's some sort of optimization triggering when the ship moves through areas of a grid or something like that).
It’d be cool to find out what’s causing the problem - I wonder if it’s anything to do with shadows having two different settings in the options now?
Schrödinger would be proud.

Thanks for that. At least I’m not going mad!AA not working correctly is the second-highest voted for issue on the Tracker:
…and it’s not just VR with the problem. The last Top 20 list notes that performance takes priority:Issue Tracker
“Investigation into further improvements is set to continue, however secondary to performance improvements. To a degree, aliasing has been mildly improved somewhat due to planet texture generation changes, rather than an anti-aliasing system change.”
As for slow loading textures - the only ones I currently see are related to https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/31610, but that’s a case of the textures not loading correctly instead of just slowly. I’ve had the occasional landscape freak out in earlier Updates (the “Minecraft” blocky landscapes and LOD issues) but I’ve always put those down to the ongoing performance problems that affect flatscreen as well, and I’ve not seen them in a while. If you’re seeing it constantly then it could be worth submitting an issue. I’ve had a quick look at Issue Tracker with the search keyword “texture” and there is a current blocky ground texture report and some Expired ones that may be what you’re describing.
The terrain generation slider might also be worth having a fiddle with. Terrain shimmer has massively improved since Odyssey’s release - but is still present, especially if using the new upscaling methods in the game.
Technically it has been fixed - once - because it’s an old, old bug that has resurfaced for some reasonIt seems odd that this issue still hasnt been fixed, its such a prominent bug. Is it only affecting VR?webapp
Six years ago when it was happening it was also affecting TrackIR users as well, though I’ve not seen any reports from them this time.Hmm, It couldn't just be the mouse-pointer-still-active-on-the-desktop-making-it-so-that-I-just-clicked-outside-the-window-and-lost-I/O-focus issue, could it? -I get that just about every time I go on foot, and try to interact with something.
I recall it reappearing multiple times -- pretty much every time there was an update, for a while, and usually fixed a week or two later. At the moment I seem to sometimes get it even whilst in regular flight -- I think that may be down to the extremely low frame rates I am playing at.Technically it has been fixed - once - because it’s an old, old bug that has resurfaced for some reason
