Damn really? That sucks it only rly bothers me when I can see it clearly without a spyglass breaks immersion for me
Weather and position of the sun affect your visibility, even with spyglass. If you're looking at an island and the sun is behind it, especially at sunset/sunrise, you have to get closer before being able to see details.
Also, this game has a going on inside of it, and the graphics not being super realistic help curb the workload for the servers.
Do you want the most beautiful ocean water in gaming? Those resources gotta be saved somewhere.
I can't even see the problem here ?
And tbh, even on a high end pc, there can be issues, typically you can sometimes see someone move and jump from super far away, but when a ship is in pistol range, kegs in the mast doesn't even appear while they are there
Everythings blocky at close distance and sometimes u don't even need a spyglass to clearly see it
Your not close to the island though...
Well at this distance i'm not shocked tbh, and i'm playing at max on pc ^
Just breaks immersion for me yk if it was blocky farrrr id understand also what rare dick riders are down voting me sm ab talking how stuff is blocky💀 reddit will always be a enigma to me
I'm downvoting you for complaining about downvotes.
The game has always been like that, and given how their servers already struggle holding the whole game together on top of just managing the waves (i heard just the waves takes up for 80% of their server power), you can't expect the game to display island precisely at this distance
You're not gonna make any friends here if you just complain about the game. If you wanna make a complaint post, at least start off with something positive about the game so that you sound less whiney.
🤓 ahh complaint
👶🏻 ahh reply
Looks like my render distance on PC
The game needs to be better optimised
I have everything turned to max on PC, mine is the same.
They did this to make our render distance equally bad to consoles I believe
Honestly i think its optimized pretty well rn. The fact it can even run on old gen is a miracle. You gotta realise most games dont even render stuff as far as sea of thieves does, infact the whole map is shown at all times if you remove the fog.

That's an example of poor optimisation.
It's not a miracle it can run on old gen... it came out on old gen. Despite upgrading my PC over the years, the games performance has gotten worse and worse.
It needs to be better optimised.
That's an example of poor optimisation.
The capability shows it runs well enough to not require drastic measures that barely impact performence. Having the whole map thats literally just some islands being rendered at poor qaulity barely effects performance but if optimization was that neccecary they would address that.
Also, it does not matter if it "came out" on old gen, old gen (and all consoles) are extremely optimized to hit their fps target on shitty hardware. Its absolutely impressive but nobody thinks that because thats the standard for console games, its quite difficult to constantly push the limits. If your pc performance is degrading i would check what Directx version the game is on and if you upgraded to a amd card since sea of thieves has always had issues with amd cards.
Rare: makes a game for the xbox one
pattdmdj0: this is a miracle. Right up there with jesus walking on water. Prior to SoT there were no games for the xbox. How is this even possible?!?! there optimisation must be over 9000!! :2221:
I take it you dont understand anything i said. If you dont understand what you are talking dont act like you do. Console optimization is impressive as in pushed to the limits therefor further optimization would be difficult to do. This is the reason some console ports from pc run like shit. Its really not that difficult to understand.
Pretty sure it's the same on every platform. It used to be better but there is a lot more going on on the seas now so gotta safe resources somewhere.
PC is the same, but I don't have my graphics cranked all the way up.

It’s the same thing on Xbox. Oddly enough, I don’t really care much about the graphics and what things look like from far away. As long as I can tell if something is a ship or not, then I’m fine. Those towers around fortresses always look like a ship at first glance. I imagine it’s done on purpose.
