polar highland has insane flickering going on in the far plane;

as i too am a programmer i know this is because you are having z fighting and you are running out of precision in your depth buffer.

cryengine probably works by reversing the near and far plane so you get linear depth and it can do a fine job, but when you are working in big scale you need to do better so this game desperately needs a logarithmic depth/z buffer implemented;

I guess, you use Radeon video card? Then it's problems with your card - not with game. Games usually don't use depth buffer to render terrain - it's possible to use Painter's algorithm instead, cuz terrain is usually grid-based. Z-buffer is used to render complex models only.

I see it, too, on a GTX 980Ti.

One only has access to the depth buffer in the training grounds, but you could install ReShade, turn on DisplayDepth (and check the Depth Settings under "Globals,") to test your theory …
