in alpha 20 a city would load in instantly even if u are almost 1km away.
in alpha 21 a City wouldnt load in at all unless u are really really close to a Building it would load in...
Same goes for Cars or other Game objects not getting rendered at all untill u are almost face flat in the block/Object.
its especially frustrating when driving on roads when Cars or other things pop into existance right in front of you.
i hope this is a known issue and will be resolved quickly. cuz it kills the Fun. And no i do not use any mods that change the game or world gen. just a simple Hud.image.png

 
If you then revisit the same area a second time, does it then load quicker/instantly?

Happens to me when starting a new random gen world, or after Chunks have been Reset with the new Chunk Reset setting. Maybe to do with some Cache or Render feature that only activates the first time you visit a place, then if you go back again it's already in the memory so loads instantly.

when i come to the place a second time let say i am doing a tier 5 quest that is 5+km away and come back... everything loads in really slow... everything is unloaded and looks the same as in my screenshot... i can see the Trader marking but the trader renders like everything else only when i am getting close... this change or whatever might improve performance... but kills immersion and makes the game unplayable when stuff loads in right in front of your face... its especially bad with the vehicle damage changes when u drive and suddenly a car pops in and u ram it at full speed...

 
LOD does seem to be worse in A21, though I've never had a town look like that.  I just often have the buildings load in very slowly from their imposters as I drive up to them.

Someone mentioned using the following in the console to improve things.  You might want to try it.

gfx lodbias 2

Note that I haven't tested this so can't say how well it works.
