To all of you who added a 3 year old config file to a game that just got a substantial update: What did you think would happen?!
That being said, I have done some very quick and dirty updates to fix things, but they still might not be working 100%. I encourage you to tweak it yourself.
I will not provide support, nor will I respond to your comments. This config was made to fix some annoyances I had, if you find it useful enjoy. If you don't, feel free to delete it.
Does anyone know what changing the traffic from 2 to 3 in gameusersettings.ini actually does? i deleted the density and cars distance lines, do i still need to change this?
bro i just replaced the ini to my document folder didnt changed any values but my all lamposts lights are gone in GTA SA what to do however i also changed the Traffic value you mentioned in README
I have installed various mods like razed graphic mod, ROSA texture mods, Car mods, etc. Therefore there is a big performance drop with this config. It might be because I used heavy mods already. There were many people complaining about performance but it might be due to many graphic mods already installed. I think this config is good for vanilla GTA DE. I would say that if you want to install graphic mods/texture packs with this LOD config then you should have better pc/laptop than me with MORE RAM and GRAPHIC CARD, then this mod/config might be good. Cause it hits really hard on performance with other graphic mods. I tried lower config settings and changing the vram in that config but nothing worked. It might work by lowering in-game graphics but i prefer the graphics rather than LOD.
Running this mod with DX12 command line in San Andreas on my 13700K and 3090. Tweaked the VRAM setting to 24000 for my 24 gigs of VRAM. Everything is running smoothly. Only problem i've noticed is when driving in certain key areas(like the hills north of Los Santos), the textures go low quality and take 3-5 seconds to load up. Not something that happens everywhere and it always happens in the exact same trigger spots. Not sure if there's any setting I can find that would solve this. Other than that, good mod. I also love the fact that vegetation and peds are drawn farther out too.
Ok, so I found out that I can get rid of the "melted plastic" LOD's when I turn "Distance Scaling" in the graphic options down to medium. This prevents the LOD's not loading up properly while also using this config to maintain good looking LOD's and reducing pop-in from vegetation and peds/vehicles. You will need to adjust the VRAM setting to whatever your GPU supports though.
@deadman - Thank you so much! I can fly now without textures getting weird! It also occurs with the rockstar version of the config file. It happens at specific locations. This makes the game play so much better.

Diagnosed it to be this mod, and diagnosed it further that the Ped settings were causing it. So I removed
gta.peds.distance=3.0
gta.peds.density=6
Also, the streets were basically empty with traffic (yes even after setting traffic=3), so I also removed.
gta.cars.density=50
gta.cars.distance=5.0
gta.peds.density=6
or can I go higher?
