COTW looks very pixelated/blocky even on max settings, Sound directions are still bugged

[ripe falcon]

Vegetation looks very pixelated even up close. Whatever was changed it wasn't like this before and it's not a new issue either. Screenshot was done in night vision to make it more visible but it's the same without, it's also there in the daytime mostly when foggy. Is this some kind of optimization to save on rendering in the sense that there is fog so we can turn down quality? If so it's not working and is very obvious. Someone already made a post about this issue on Reddit over a year ago (link below) so it's nothing new. Please fix this it's very distracting to see low resolution vegetation everywhere.

Is there any update on a sound fix? It's been ages and the sound still comes from the wrong direction despite many here reporting the bug. It's so bad that currently it's impossible to locate anything without visual indication. Again please fix.

Edit: The Discord compression makes it look way better than it actually does in the game by blending the pixels on edges. It looks way worse in the actual game.

The sound bug is something that's been around for a while, everyone has it. Directional sound is incorrect. You have a dog on the right of you but hear it barking to the left or behind. Same thing with animal calls, footsteps of animals, anything sound related.
It's been posted on bug help and feedback many times over the months with no update.

Thank you for clarifying that.

I've responded to your latest thread on the directional sound not working properly, and I'd be thankful if you could raise a support ticket. That way we can investigate the problem with the rest of the team, and potentially work towards a solution.

Thank you for your understanding.
