Methods and systems for selecting a level of detail visual asset during the execution of a video game

A computer readable non-transitory medium comprising a plurality of executable programmatic instructions wherein, said plurality of executable programmatic instructions are executed by a processor in a computing device, a process for selecting one of a plurality of level of detail (LOD) visual assets is performed to render during gameplay in a multiplayer game being executed on a client device, wherein each of the plurality of LOD visual assets is associated with a switch distance, the plurality of executable programmatic instructions comprising:

• accessing data representative of at least some of the plurality of LOD visual assets and switch distances associated with said at least some of the plurality of LOD visual assets;
• monitoring one or more variables related to the client device;
• based on said monitoring, determining that one or more corrective factors should be applied to the associated switch distances;
• and
• based on the determination, applying the one or more corrective factors to the associated switch distances in order to generate modulated switch distances and select one of the at least some of the plurality of LOD visual assets based on one of the modulated switch distances.
