I have had the same thing happen many times, and not just with this patch, from day one.

I am not sure that they disappear from the game or just from my view.. Because one time I did see them appear to disappear, only to look much harder and see that they were still there, just very Very VERY faint. If that is the case each time than the problem is in how the 'dot' transitions occur. As the distance changes, the game loads different LOD of the plane.. Clearly during one of these transitions color of the dot goes from a 'dark' dot to a different color.. And depending on that color the plane can seem to disappear!

As noted, sometimes I can see them after the transition and sometimes I don't so maybe sometimes they do actually disappear from the game?

In either case, they really need to work on those transition colors, it should go from dark to not so dark to light.. not dark to light.
