Re: [BY DESIGN] Glass from windows and doors becomes white when far away from it

Here's my usual in-game graphics settings, the issue is still present on lower settings and on the Ultra graphics quality.

    @crinrict Yes, it happens in all the worlds I got. I believe this issue is a model issue since the pre-Batuu update. I will try to fix an affected window later by changing the mesh and will write about it here.

    @crinrict Oh ok, I will try on another PC later today and ask some people if the issue is present in their game.

    Please put all settings up to the highest possible and see if it still happens. I cannot reproduce in my game.

    @BluebellfloraIt is still happening on the highest settings for me.
    The Lofty Arched window from Moschino is the only window that isn't affected by the issue on this wall, I know it because I can see the pattern of the wallpaper behind it. The glass from the other windows either became white or gray from a distance.

    @HyperJSTA 

    Thanks and how strange. Maybe it's your GPU. We need someone to test with the exact same one.

    This is mine:

    @Bluebellflora Yeah, maybe it's my GPU. I'm currently installing the game on my laptop to see if the issue is on it too. I will also ask friends who play the game.

    @Bluebellflora My issue could be happening only on AMD GPUs, I tested on my laptop with an AMD GPU on max settings and the glass from most windows turns white or gray just like on my desktop PC.

    Here's a screenshot of my laptop:

    I asked a friend who got a laptop with an Nvidia GPU and it the issue is not happening on her laptop
    Here's a screenshot she sent me:

    @Bluebellflora Oh ok, my desktop PC and laptop both got Windows 10, I don't have a Mac. I will ask more people if the issue happens to them later, hopefully we will find the cause of the problem.
