Model Details stuck to Medium / Notice about VRAM (Streaming Textures - NONE)

Since yesterday, atleast I noticed then, my model details are always on medium as soon as I start game. Despite changing them to low (I wanna have settings on low), nothing changes. Also every time after starting game, I have red notice as error about high vram usage over 4gb vram, despite having Streaming Textures on NONE (as soon as I change none-low-none notice goes away). If I don't do that I do get performance loss which is not there in case that I make that notice go away.

RX570 4GB (1300/8000)

16GB DDR3 2133MHz

I7 4770k 4.5GHz

Ok, the only way that I found to fix it is to edit file "videoconfig.txt" (Documents\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local)

You need set "setting.r_lod_switch_scale" to any number lower than 1 but not lower than 0 (for example 0.6) Than lower is number than lower model details will be.

My model details are stuck on high and I can't set them to low or medium because after applying and returning to the video settings the setting is on high again.

Also @zimzimbre assuming the setting works as worded, setting the streaming budget to "None" should remove a limitation on the VRAM. The setting is called "streaming budget". If you have no budget then you have no limit of VRAM consumption, meaning it's a higher setting than the one all the way on the right. I suggest you just set this to 4GB.

That is not true. If you set to NONE textures are completely blurry and without actual coloured textures. That is lowest possible setting.

The wording of "no budget" is too easy to interpret in either direction.

Didn't consider trying the config file since there should be no reason it isn't writable. Mine was set to 1 and I went and checked the minimum number required to set it to Medium. Below are all the setting minimums:
0 = Low
0.8 = Medium
1 = High
Setting it to anything via this method will still result in the settings being stuck in-game but it's a nice workaround for now.

Hello! I was wondering what you did to fix your vram problem.
Thanks.
