Nothing that I do solves the IDIOTIC Reflection Problem

Rendering

I’m using unreal engine 5.6 and have been having this issues since 5.4. The reflections are just not accurate at distance not in raster not raytracing, even with all the settings at high everything turned ONN for ray tracing, glass material does not show proper reflections that are not directly in-front of the viewer or really closeup. Sometimes it does the opposite as in the Ocean water material, on raster the water does not show up when I’m closer to reflections but does gradually fade in when I move far away, on the other hand when set to ray tracing water material don’t show up at all.

I’ve tried everything that i was able to find, be it CVARs or Post Process settings, this is the problem that I’ve never been able to solve.

Can it be some other issues of Drivers? because I’ve updated everything to latest from motherboard to the GPU.

Even though there is one thing that concerns me that there is a rare chance of this causing the problem but it should be very rare that I’ve changed my motherboard from ASUS to MSI and from AMD to Intel, but the m.2 storage has been the same so can this cause problem?? I don’t know, can somebody PLEASE HELPP!!!

Project setting in Rendering :-

translucency set Raster :- water reflection shows up when far, it also happens to other objects like the mesh gets darker specially in white materials when moved away from it.

translucency set ray tracing :- As you can see the water does not show up at all it ray tracing, and ray tracing supposed to be ultimate so i should be able to see reflections of reflections in any glass materials so why is this happening ??
