Since the patch this week I've noticed Islands 'popping' into higher levels of detail when I get close to them.
When I try to look at islands in the distance through the spy-glass, they don't get any more detailed. It's like the spyglass zooms in on the low-poly / low-detailed version of the island, but doesn't give any further information and it's not until I can reach out and touch the island, the higher-poly / more-information version of the island loads.
I run on PC with max settings, 60fps and haven't changed any of the settings since this started happening. Can anyone else verify? or have I broken something my end?
