Draw distance: less pop-in
Did you think the game look good? It's even better now. Objects in Astral Chain switch to a simpler model, or disappear, past a distance the game sets per model. The new setting keeps their detailed model, and small objects themselves, visible from further away.
- Where: Settings (F1) → Screen → Draw distance, from 100 % (the game's own) to 400 %. It stays at 100 % by default, also on the Steam Deck.
- When it applies: on what the game loads after the change, so from the next loading screen (a zone change or loading a save).
- What it changes: debris, props and street details keep their full shape further away.
- The percentage scales the game's level-of-detail thresholds: 200 % is not twice the distance in metres.
- Some objects still appear only when you come close: the game hides them by other means that this setting does not reach (such as corruption aka "the red thing you need to collect with your legion")
- Fixed a shimmering issue with upscaling
