Streaming Bug Workaround

Since PL introduction the game has a really bad stability issue, where it loads big chunks of the world and never unloads them. Thus the game has almost twice as many nodes streamed-in all the time. This on it's own is responsible for most seemingly "random" crashes people can experience in vanilla game traversing the map (like when you go from Japan Town to Lizzies and similar cases).

Fun part - it's not a constant problem that exists throughout the whole game. Instead it's something that most seemingly can be triggered by a quest. And in some of my own testings could be "fixed" by completing it. However, the potential list of those "triggers" is rather big. I've tried reporting it to CDPR, but the only way to actually show the issue - using mods. And using mods, your report is most likely gonna be ignored, simple as that.

I'd like to show you a guide on how to check if your playthrough is unstable atm:

• []Enter photomode (this way you don't immediately fall through the map)[/]

  []Use this command in CET console:

  GameOptions. SetBool("Streaming", "ForceUnstream", true)[/]

• []If your save is fine - world will unload completely except for distant traffic/crowds: demonstration 1[/]

  []If your save is affected by this issue - world won't unload properly: demonstration 2 [/]

  This simple mod provides a workaround.
