"View distance"

[-Shifty-]

Hello all,

I have view distance set to 100%.

But, now that graphics are high, mountains seems to be half hidden until I get closer...

Also, how can I make it absolutely MAX view distance? Because I got all on high.

And how to get rid of that "fog" effect...

Thanks for any info!

Hacks only way lol. The fog is there for limiting your view of things far away or it will get too easy for jets and helis.

They can be done in a mod, but it sounds like you want to play on vanilla servers with them so I'll neglect to include them in my post for now.

get too easy for jets and helis - its easy enough as it is

Re: "View distance"

the fog is there for performance reasons....the farther you see, the more things your computer has to draw on screen. BF2's has some of the poorest "optimizations" in a game I've ever seen....the fog is just another "fix"....

Geometry - Set to High

..and some maps just have a wall of blue sky at a certain distance. No matter what.

OK thanks, I have other games where you can see miles...I guess this one is just "crappy" but I still play it everyday xD !!

Yes there is. :nod:

Without fog your computer has to render a lot more things at a lot bigger distance, which decreases the performance.

With fog your computer only has to render a soft white cloud over... everything :lol: .

Are you perhaps thinking about the CS smoke grenade ?

did you ever do the no fog thing in single player? no fps decrease here....

Re: "View distance"

That only means either 1.) DICE employed the worst 3D programmers in the industry since they are rendering triangles inside a fog zone, or 2.) you are CPU bottlenecked and all you are doing is reducing the VPU's idle (wait) time.

This is what they ARE doing...:shakehead: :laugh:

Re: "View distance"

Oh so I can't get it further... damn...I had a game with better graphics then this and 2km view distance, I also ran it on the worst PC ever (my mom's).

And I had no problems.

So now on a 3000$ PC and a game with cheap graphics, it would **** up my PC ?????

lol, I don't get it,

great graphics+bad Pc=2km view

sh!7 Graphics (compared to the other game OFP)+Great PC= 400m ?????

I am happy and grateful to DICE for making this game, but something smell bad...
