PUBG Texture Popping

SchobotPlays · Aug 8, 2017

Hey guys I'm reasonably new to PC gaming and I have bought Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG). I have recently had a slight issue with the title as the buildings don't render in time from me jumping out of the plane and landing to loot. I have heard of numerous fixes regarding an SSD and more RAM but I don't know what to believe. Any advice? I get paid in 10 days so I would like to know what to get first.

My Rig

I5 7400
GTX 1060 3GB
8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM
1TB WD Blue HDD

A lot of players have this issue in that game. Try to adjust your video settings from something other then the recommended defaults. Play with distance viewing and shadows.

androbourne :

So turn those settings up or down?

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

I can't say for sure on your system because everyone's settings\systems are different. But try a combo of things. Try to lower them, try to turn them to max, try turning shadows off but leaving distance at high etc...

Okay but would another 8gb work?

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

More ram would be nice but I doubt it would fix your issue...

It is a game display problem. Not a memory problem.

androbourne :

Right okay, its just I've heard people report that more RAM fixes it

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

You sure they didn't mean vram?

SchobotPlays · Aug 8, 2017

androbourne :

Very positive as people saying they jumped up from 8GB to 16GB so I don't know any graphics cards with that much VRAM

You need to tweak the post-processing feature in your game settings. Nothing to do with your setup. However, this will mean more workload for your PC, and can reduce your FPS. If you're not comfortable with the results, and you want high FPS and also fix this, then you may need to upgrade.

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

I only ask because your card only has 3gb of vram.

You can try to increase virtual page file size and see if that does anything for you.

Click on start, right click on PC and select properties, click on advanced system setting and click on settings under performance, then select advanced tab.

Under "virtual memory" select change.

Uncheck "automatically manage paging file size for all drives" and select "custom" then set Initial size and Maximum size to 8000mb

Hit 'Set" and then "ok" and it should ask you to reboot your PC. Do that and try to play the game again.

That will artificially increase your ram to 16gb. Using the hard drive disk space as Ram. It is not as fast but may resolve your issue. If it does. Then maybe upgrading memory might work for you.

Can't find it I'm on Windows 10 just to clarify

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

Yeah those instructions are for Windows 10.

Try to go to control panel at the top right search put "advanced system" it should display "view advanced system settings" you should be able to find it from there.

But like I said before I really don't think your system is the issue. It is most likely a game option setting causing the problem.

SchobotPlays · Aug 8, 2017

androbourne :

Didn't fix it

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

Kind of figured it wouldn't.

As I said earlier. Try playing with your in game video settings. Try going to your display control panel and setting things to performance mode instead of quality mode etc...

I highly suspect issue is in the game video settings it's self.

SchobotPlays · Aug 8, 2017

androbourne :

I guess its just that others aren't having this problem so I'm confused I raised the issue with bluehole and I'm waiting on a reply

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

yeah of course there is. There are hundreds of hardware configurations types. Games don't test for all those types so while it might work fine on one hardware configuration. It may not on another.

SchobotPlays · Aug 8, 2017

Yeah I know fair enough its just I paid a lot for my rig and it'd be kinda devastating if it can't keep up with current gen

androbourne · Aug 8, 2017

Yeah I feel yeah. It happens.

While you are waiting for a ticket reply I would still mess with your video settings in game. You are not going to break anything by changing them around.

androbourne :

Legitimately all I got was a try reinstalling it and verifying files... Thats all I got. I had tried that before I asked anyone like really? What a poor help

androbourne · Aug 10, 2017

It's kinda of like help desk "well did you restart your PC 5 times" lol

But honestly, try playing with graphic settings and let us know if anything changes so we can continue to troubleshoot from there.

SchobotPlays · Sep 5, 2017

Okay so after buying an SSD and installing the game to that it fixed my issue, the extra RAM is a nice bonus and my system runs faster than ever before. So yes the SSD did help.

androbourne · Sep 5, 2017

An SSD will help, obviously. It helps with everything over a mechanical drive...

However, that is not the games systems minimal requirements. So it shouldn't be doing texture popin simply because you were not running on an SSD. This is a game issue.

Either way, there is nothing wrong with going with SSD and more memory. Should help in other games as well.
