Slow or no texture loading causes FPS drop
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Textures tend to load very slowly or sometimes not at all. This not only has an effect on the FPS but also on the overal appearance of the environment. I've seen assets that fail to load hires textures even when I'm standing right next to them.

Steps To Reproduce

Stand in the middle of a dense forrest. Don't move until everything is loaded and the FPS counter shows a stable number. Then move at least more than 90 degrees in any direction and watch the counter go down because of texture loading, and back up when it is finished.

Additional Information

You probably are using some kind of occlusion culling, unloading textures as the assets that hold them are outside the FOV of the player, but I've never seen this being so much of a problem in other modern games.
