Far LODs load in "vignette" around screen, but not in front of camera

As seen in the image, far away chunks don't seem to load in front of the camera but they do load in a sort of radius outside the crosshair. I am standing at an angle to show that it's circular, turning the camera shows this more clearly. I assume this is some setting I need to change but I can't find any. Changing FOV keeps the circle relatively the same size so it lets me see more of the terrain . I'm on multiplayer without a singleplayer world to load LODs from.
