We've been over this. If he can't fix it he's incompetent, end of story. It's solvable. Solvable like certain calculations being done beforehand.

For goodness sake, do some research. There are no calculations done 'beforehand' because it's procedurally generated. It's the nature of the tech behind the game.

So what keeps them from procedually generating a certain radius beforehand? You know, like every procedually generated game that has ever existed is generating the whole level before you enter it.

They already use a radius with precalculated assets or else you would see every blade of grass pop in at every step you take. There is no technological reason why that radius cannot be expanded.
