The thing that fixed it for me was to lower down the "fGrassMinStartFadeDistance" to a 1000 and set "b30GrassVS" to 1. lucky me the first google link solves my problem - the same you had. my b30GrassVS was set to 1 but fGrassMinStartFadeDistance was like 7000. Also using Serious HD Landscapes. Anyway, THANK YOU for solving the issue
