between the bugged out NPCs or fade ins I'm hearing I'm not sure if I should update or not.
NPCs were loading/fading in pretty randomly for me sometimes before anyway. Even at 60% GPU usage. Didn't notice a difference.
Only ini change I had made was hairworks aa to 2 iirc, my hairworks is off too. In case that's what messed things up.
I had tried tweaking the grass before but I was getting weird graphical issues with it (grass just popping up in patches and vanishing - different colours) but I wiped the file as it caused weird settings to show in-game too.
The controller lock was a different ini that I had changed too actually. Wasn't affecting custom hotkeys (anymore?) so I re-enabled it.
Curious as to why verifying the game with GOG would create a rendering.ini file with texture mipmap bias set to 0 if it's supposed to be -1 at 1.04 :S Might have to start totally fresh but fuck that
