Shadows, or Render Distance? I dont know.

So with the new GTA update comes the massive wave of everybody having issues. Usually, I dont have all too many issues. However this issue that I'm having is driving my OCD crazy. I dont know if its shadows, or distance scaling, or what, but its weird, and sort of hard to explain. 

 

Basically, the closer I get to an object, shadows and cars start to load in (Instead of always being there). I compiled a few clips from a two minute drive around the town to help explain myself in more detail. The video quality isnt all that great because I zoomed in really far on certain objects (Sorry about that...) but its still clear that Shadows and Objects are popping in, and overall making the game look bad. I mean, when you are driving, and you see a wall with no shadows on it to your left, then all of a sudden it becomes darker... its weird, and it never happened before (Atleast I dont think it did...). Hopefully you guys can tell me what I need to change; Maybe something in the graphical settings? Cant be an issue with my computer - I have an i5 6600k, GTX 1070, and 16 GB RAM. 

 

Heres the video:

Try tweaking soft shadows setting to 'soft', adjusting traffic density and variety, and turning distance scaling down to about 1/2.

Some people found their games run better with -disablehyperthreading and setting GTAV.exe's priority to high in the task manager.

A lot of the weird shadows and graphics pop-in weren't as bad in older versions in the game (v350).

Otherwise visual mods can also improve the game.

I appreciate your comment, but it did absolutely nothing. I even tried contacting Rockstar and they have been 0 help as well. 

 

So annoying.
