Missing NPC's, half-rendered zones, blah blah

Whatever they did recently to the "low memory rendering settings" needs to be undone, because it's getting to be a god damn clusterfuck. I'm running through cities where half the geometry is flat-out missing where there wasn't a problem before. I go into buildings and the floor is missing. Not unrendered; MISSING. I try to finish quests, and despite patches the NPC's just aren't there where I can see them, ever. Fabulous way to completely disrespect and waste my time, there's no fucking way any of this shit was tested.

This might go some way to explaining why the caged iksar in Kunzar Jungle isn't actually in her cage, and hasn't appeared to be since I went to do that quest at the weekend. Every time I've been back to get the "talk to her" update, she's not there. And it's not because the entire zone is suddenly doing that quest. :/

I couldn't turn in a part of my epic quest yesterday cause all I could see was the book floating above his head...

lol I deal with this everyday since RoK came out.

If you know where something should be, just camp out and come back in to fix, especially for NPC's. Anything else, shit out of luck.

This is flying into the Howling Stones sokokar post. The missing area to the right is the mountain around the sokokar post, and the missing area in the distance straight ahead is Howling Stones cavern. They all did render though as soon as I was ran up to those spots. I've just chalked this up to my lack of an awesome computer.

I swear I opened the door into the SQ stables last night and the floor wasn't there. I was like, bah, just a clipping glitch like that one you always get halfway through Feerrott. So I walk inside, and no shit, I fall through the world. There were three NPC's in Kunzar Jungle that tied me up (Bax, Rhodoqiz/etc, the sporconid hostage) but those got fixed yesterday. However, the EFP NPC for Freeport->Qeynos betrayal was missing. So I had to call it a night.

Try adjusting your /cl_lod_tridensity settings.

Since the last LU I have been leveling up my Illusionist and along the way noticing that many quest NPC's are missing. Finally, last night I noticed that one of them was in the ground apparently because I could see the tip of the book just outside the floor.

I did a quick /camp charactersname and sure enough the NPC was back to the right place. This happened to me 3 times in TG last night and everytime i camped and came back in everything was corrected.

I have no idea what or where that is, though I just did /cl_lod and tabbed for it just now (I still don't know what it is).

Just started getting this tonight. Qharbor was a mess and Antonica was missing its Griffon NPC's (had to run).

BFG 7600Gt if it helps
