I can confirm that this issue is getting worse. Yesterday, White House even did not load at all for me!
Ubisoft, can you please fix the issue? This is really ridiculous as your game is sometimes looking absolutely horrible on PS4, even worse than some Playstation 1 games. Many of us pre-ordered the game with the believe that you will fix this issue as it has been reported repeatedly during all betas, but it has not been fixed at all.
For me it also feels like the texture problems are worse than before: In the private and open betas I only remember seeing broken textures on the door trucks in front of the theater settlement but now many signs and posters don't have proper textures and it takes like 10-20 seconds for them to load when standing in front of them.
I can confirm this is getting worse or I am noticing it even more the further I play. There have been moments when every tree, bush, object changes 2-3 times while I approach (and from very short distance from player)
There are spots where I have pulled a sniper scope up and then entire buildings and npcs have appeared while I’m in ads.
I have had 2 friends decide not to buy the game because of this issue in fear it won’t get resolved soon or ever. Couple of friends are on the fence still.
This is truly the only problem many have with the game, but it’s a big one!
Digital Foundry clearly are bothered by our problem as well. Many people will check this out before spending their cash.

Yeah, it is getting much worse by the day. In Private Beta I hardly noticed it at all, just some minor lag as it loaded assets in the Settlement. After launch it was certainly worse, but still tolerable. Now? Every time I fast travel into a stronghold or the Boo I am looking at like PS1 textures for all the more minor details really unless I just stand there for a minute or two. Whatever they use to stream the assets into the game is being over loaded or is fundamentally broken. It definitely is not a case of 'the system can not handle it because it is old'. If that were the case it would not have gotten progressively **MUCH** worse over the past few days. Sure, it mighta been better in beta because it was a smaller area to load but its an apples to apples comparison between the first two days of early access and this weekend with much worse system performance.
