Pathtracing foliage issues

Hello. i have 2 issues with my foliage actor in UE 5.3 using pathtracing. As you can see, grass close to the camera at the bottom of animation is behaving weirdly, kind of popping up and disappearing.
Second issue is with wind at megascans trees, it looks like its “lagging” in some areas. I used globalfoliageactor for megascans trees to simulate wind.

Console commands i used:
r.PathTracing.ProgressDisplay 1
r.Raytracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.Culling 0
r.Raytracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.EvaluateWPO 1
r.RayTracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.SimulationClusterRadius
r.RayTracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.SimulationCount
r.Raytracing.Geometry.InstancedStaticMeshes.Culling 0
r.ScreenPercentage 200
r.forceLOD 0
foliage.forceLOD 0
foliage.MaxTrianglesToRender

I dont have solution to wind, but maybe i have solution for ghost foliage (didnt tested it). In project settings search for velocity pass and set it to “write during base pass”
