Fix(works for me) for problem with "textures streaming in front of my eyes" on slow cpu, good gpu config.

By pesfunplay SPP

I have slow CPU, good GPU configuration. In most of the game, i can easliy set graphics settings to high. With The Division (CPU demanding game) i had a huge problem. Textures was streaming in front of my eyes. I tried many solution, nothing works. So I tried solve this problem on my own, and this is solution that works for me.

Overview

My spec:

Problem:

Solution:

Comments

My spec:

AMD APU A8 5600K 4x3.9GHz(oc from 3.6) turbo off, integ. gpu off
8 GB RAM 1600MHZ 9 9 9 24 ddr3
GIGABYTE gtx 970 G1
I have ssd, but for me loading times and game fps are same for ssd and hdd.

Problem:

I know that i have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cpu for this gpu, but i don't care, i can't change it righ now, and i need to deal with this on my own.
I set game on high, have 60 fps with this happens sometimes, but when it start...almost every street was like that. So i set game setings to low, got 100+ fps but problem was bigger(like on screen, one street ahead and I got this, and it takes few minutes to load this ♥♥♥♥.
I tried some of perf. guide, didn't work for me.

Solution:

I tried many combination and I came to this , with one game work for me nice, looks good and i have 50+fps(most of the time 60fps)

Steps:

Most Important

if you have game on steam, turn off steam in game overlay(you need to do this to get fullscreen mode)
I also disable Uplay overlay because was lagging like ♥♥♥♥, so i don't need it
in game->Video settings->Windowed mode set to Fullscreen(with steam overlay on, game will be crash after save sett. with dx 12 on)
in game->Video settings->Enable Dx 12 Renderer set to YES(with slow cpu and good gpu you get nice fps boost)
in game->Graphics settings->Extra streaming distance more then 70%(i have 80 now, thanks to this game load things pretty far ahead, and if need to load somethink, it's after few corner not in front of you, and you probably won't see it)
in game->Graphics settings->all cpu demanding settings set to low. I used this 5000frames.com guide to find those one(Extra streaming distance leave at 70-80 like i mention above). Most important was for me Parallax mapping to low, and Object detail to 30%

if this didn't helped you, try to turn off (if you haven't yet) Shadowplay(Share) function from Nvidia and similar from AMD

Less Important
My settings
1. i turn off vsync and frame limiter
2. Object detail i have on 30%
3. Temporal AA : Supersampling
4. others settings usually on high
**For better performance you can set others things to low, but i love how the game look I am okay with 50, even 40 fps drops.

EDIT 18.1.2017 :

added info abaut Shadowplay(Share)
added info about Parallax mapping and changed Object detail to 30%(from 40)

When i wrote this guide all steps above gave me best performance. I do not know if your tips would help me, because now i have PC that can run Division with all on max settings.
I am glad that you find your best settings :)

you should move the object detail to the important stuff its really what got the issue fixed for me

thank you this helped me alot!

Thanks man! That's why I wonder why when I played the game on free weekend via Uplay (w/o Overlay) I get a stable fps and no texture loading, then when I bought it on Steam, the issues happened, the Steam Overlay sure do affects the game in some ways. DX12 Renderer really helps a lot too.

I actually set my settings to mid-high, streaming distance and obj. detail to 100% and it's loading quickly. I rarely have the loading icon now. Strange

I am happy that I helped someone :D

BenFine 18 Jan, 2017 @ 12:02am

since I did it I didn't see the problem anymore. Thanks for the guide!

I started playing again after maybe 6 months and have to say, they f*cked something up. I've never had any of these issues befora and now, I have to look up solutions. Sure, my rig is not mthe most powerful, but still, I had no problems before.
Your solution though, it worked for a bit, I was happy, then the dreaded loading icon appeared again. I tested this for roughly 1 hour and have to say it is noticably better

I don't have solutions for every specs, this one just work fine for me, sometiems i also have loading and can't run. This happend when I run through few streets. I think if you have cpu too weak for this game loading part with no ability to run will be appear from time to time. You can try change to low Parallax mapping, and object detail change to 10-20. This settings and Extra streaming distance are depending on CPU.
