Road LODs Look Ugly or Glitching

Symptom

When zoomed out, road LODs are either:

• Showing wrong color (e.g. they look more like gravel or concrete)

• Turning in to massive spikes that reach in to the sky (usually at junctions)

Causes

These issues aren't caused by TM:PE, they are caused by other mods.

Wrong colors can be caused by either:

• Issues with road (or other network) assets

• Loading Screen Mod sharing textures

Large spikes are generally caused by badly designed road (or other network) assets.

Solutions

For wrong colors:

• Disable "Share textures" in Loading Screen Mod options screen

• Failing that, check if the issue only affects certain roads/networks and either:

  • Remove them from the map and use other alternatives, or

  • Increase "Network LOD Distance" with Ultimate Level of Detail mod

For huge sky spikes:

• Check if the issue only affects certain roads/networks and either:

  • Clus' LRT networks (which are awesome, btw) sometimes cause this problem

  • Remove them from the map and use other alternatives, or

  • Increase "Network LOD Distance" with Ultimate Level of Detail mod
