    All of the little boats to enter POT's that are islands are missing. On Novia and Mistrendur.
    The ferry's to the island overland are still there.
    Example the POTS between the mainland and Spindrift Island.

    Can't get into some pots without a port. And nowhere to enter a siege.
    EDIT
    Found the spots where the boats are and was able to E or double click.
    Checked my video settings
    Toggling GPU occlusion didn't help either way.
    But my Level of Detail setting has been all the way down forever and when I move it up about 1/4 of the way the boats come into view.

    Running RX580

    Not a blocker it was just an unexpected change since the latest patch.

    Title: LOD Slider can hide POT Overworld Boats & LOD slider saves when changing quality levels
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Yes
    Details: It seems the LOD slider position is Saved when Quality level is changed. The slider doesn't adjust position when switching Quality levels, so it could be set to lowest but appear to be set to highest..or vice versa. Thanks to @vulcanjedi for noticing the missing POT boats.
    Steps to Reproduce: Go to the Overworld where POT boats should be. Set video to 'fastest' - if you have never set your LOD level before on fastest, it seems to default to lowest setting..if you see boats, set it to lowest. Boats should vanish. Now raise the LOD level higher. boats should appear. Switch to another Quality level, and see if the boats appear.. if not, raise LOD level. Now set your LOD to lowest, and the boats will disappear. Now go back to Fastest, and even though the LOD detail was(is) set to lowest, the boats will appear.. since the last time you were on Fastest your LOD was higher and was 'saved', although the position of the slider remains unchanged.

    Verifying this. See my repro steps for more details of the bug and how the LOD slider is saved when changing quality levels, but slider position doesn't move when switching quality levels.

    This came up on the stream today, so I thought I'd post what info I have on this issue. Note that my cursor isn't visible in my screenshot, but it is visible in the game. I'm hovering over where the boat would be, and that's why there's a "tooltip" for "Beran's Reach."

    Title: Island POTs missing boats on Overworld
    Reproduction Rate: Since R86, consistent
    Blocker? No
    Details:

    The small boats on the Overworld meant to take you to Island POTs are invisible.

    Interestingly, if I go into first-person on the Overworld, I do see the boats.

    Also, if I move the camera around, very infrequently, I get an angle that will show one or more boats.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    I updated to R86, and the problem began.

    Same issue in Mistrendur as Novia.
