SW Battlefront Draw Distance

My draw distance is screwed up.  I haven't had a lot of time to play but I know it was occurring on Hoth when I'm around the caves/mountains.  Anything not immediately in front of me is black and fades in to view as I approach it.  I have an AMD 290, i5 4690k, 16GB RAM with Windows 10, recent build, current drivers.

    I installed the latest AMD driver release 15.11 (Crimson Edition) as stated in the sticky thread of this forum.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem for me. I hope AMD will fix it with the next driver release.

  • same here, had hopes for the crimson drivers but no effect

    the lighting to medium works

    fyi: turning off CPU throttling fixed a LOT of issues in the menu's for me (and with the audio)

    this is the only game ive known to have issues with this

    just a tip

    I updated to the latest AMD Driver 15.11.1 Beta that was just released (same name as a previous one, but it's actually new).

    The new driver fixes this issue for me! I can now play the game on Ultra settings without running into any difficulties anymore.

  • Thanks for verifying!  I am downloading it and was just going to post that. 🙂

    Did the update fix it, it hasn't for me.

  • I have been seeing everything but Tatooine show up lately.  I'll post back after I've played in a bit.  I'm not a hugely active person, wish I was but a baby kills that! lol

    I had this issue, especially Endor. It made the game unplayable even though I could max out the game.  

    I updated my drivers to 15.12 and it's seemed to have worked! 

    Running:
    Amd FX-4130 CPU
    Radeon R9 280X 
    8GB RAM

    Can't believe that I'm seeing this issue in 2017 again. Disabling CFX fixes this, but as soon as you enable it, the issue returns.

    Adjusting Lighting settings doesn't help (lowering to Med). Only disabling CFX has any effect.

    Disabling MSI Afterburner doesn't help either. AMD Gaming Evolved isn't installed.

    Running the latest AMD Radeon Live drivers.

    Any suggestions?
