Ugly Distant Lines

[K-Nadian87]

Hey everyone. Ive notices that I get these ugly distracting lines on the distant landscape and was hoping someone know what I could do to remedy this problem. In the pic they dont look so bad but that's because they arent moving. When im playing, they are flickering and moving about and it looks like garbage... anyone else get this?

 

Thanks

It's a known problem caused by the shadows from the clouds.

 

Here is a workaround that removes the shadows (you won't miss them anyway)

Hey Nate,

thanks. I had heard of the cloud shadow problem before, but i didnt think it was describing my issue... ill take your word for it and give it a shot... thanks!

 

Any chance losing the cloud shadows will result in an FPS boost?

Slightly. I've learned to live with the distant cloud shadow lines, I don't even notice them anymore to be honest. The shadows are awesome given the right time of day, and something I can't fly without! ;)

I remember posting about this in about 2008 lol. Something for the FAQ I think.
