Research direction

The report is a rendering bug where rock edges vanish only at the High Draw Distance setting, with Medium and Original correct. The payload names no source files or tests, so start by finding where the Draw Distance option feeds into the renderer's culling or level-of-detail path. Done means the rock geometry renders the same at High as at Medium, confirmed with the attached reproduction video.

What happened, and how to make it happen again

Description

When Draw Distance is set to High, parts of a rock's edges disappear or become invisible.

Switching Draw Distance to Medium or Original restores the missing geometry.

Steps to Reproduce

The missing edges become visible again.

Expected Behavior

Rock geometry should remain correctly rendered regardless of the Draw Distance setting.

Actual Behavior

Parts of the rock's geometry disappear when Draw Distance is set to High, while Medium and Original render correctly.
