Draw Distance

[w01fy]

Hi guys

Just got a quick question.

I've got my draw distance on high (low settings, then i put the res to 1024x768 and the effects detail to high + 100% draw distance)

Yet when i'm gunning with the occasional person(last time was in a cobra on fushe pass) the pilot can see further than I can. (I was on coms with the guy, and hes like TV missile that tank, i can't see it, he starts doing an attack run, firing his hellfires and then I can see it, and it was a large distnace)

Does goemety or anything also add to your distance?

Or is it something else?

Re: Draw Distance

I am not sure but i think the better your graphics card the better the draw distance:)

I have the same problem and i have tried all settings on high and there was no difference in draw distance just loads of lagg:cry:

Re: Draw Distance

yes geometry increases draw distance. i got my draw distance all the way up, my geometry and dynamic lighting on ultra high, and everything else as low as it goes without being off. rarley chop, but it seems to be server based.

Re: Draw Distance

ah makes sense with the geometry, just orded some ram that should allow me to play on atleast medium, i hope so will check then, thanks for the info

Re: Draw Distance

I am also pretty sure the attack helo pilot can actually see further then the gunner as well. I regularly team up with a m8 in the choppers and often experience the same thing, i call out the target yet he can't see it untill i get a bit closer. We both have identical detail settings.

I know it makes no sense because the gunner is actually in front of the pilot but perhaps it was even designed this way to give the pilot an extra second to line up the target before the gunner can kill it, or maybe its just a bug.

Re: Draw Distance

texture filtering high
draw distance 100%
geometry high
graphics card with at least 256mb memory

i went up to this and found I could see alot farther when sniping, maybe 100m increase

Re: Draw Distance

a little heads up..

if you set your draw distance to more than 100% like alot of player used to do, punkbuster now actively scans for that,

so please be careful

Re: Draw Distance

just turn up your draw distance, I thought it was as simple as that

ah cheers for the headsup, i was looking in the video con wondering about that, as just read about putting the level upto 4 to get ultrahigh (not sure if it does anyhthing though lol)
