New Crimson Desert Mod reduces LOD pop-in issues & adds grass shadows
DSOGaming • • technology
Key Points:
- Modder VAXIStaa has released a new mod for Crimson Desert that significantly reduces LOD pop-in issues for vegetation, grass, and rocks, enhancing the game's visual quality on high-end GPUs.
- The mod increases LOD distances from 0.5 to 1.0 and adds 1881 meshes to the “ignoreImposterList.xml,” allowing objects to retain high-quality polygon forms at greater distances.
- While the mod improves visuals, some issues like shadow cascade pop-ins remain, but it also introduces grass shadows, a feature missing in the vanilla game.
- The mod comes with a performance cost, recommended mainly for high-end GPUs, and installation requires JSON Mod Manager v9.7.2 with specific steps to activate it.
- It is compatible with the latest game version, though users may need to disable the encrypt option in JSOMM if crashes occur after applying the mod.
