Patch 1.03 Reduction in Draw Distance

[meat_curtains69]

Anybody else notice a reduction in draw distance after installing the patch?

I have played sniper alot lately and things I used to be able to see in the distance are now clouded over and cant see at all.

Your hacks don't work no more lol j/p but I don't know the graphics do look different this might be why.

yeah, i notice that with the helicopters, can't see too far...could be that the settings were changed to higher ones and video card can't handle it...i'm gonna check that out next time i load my game

I thought I noticed this too.. My first thought was that patching set the options back to default... Still at 100% though... I noticed it when I had parked a hummer on sharqi to ambush the Mi-28, and it pops in and out when flying over the lake.. (when viewed from the eastern shore)... Weird..

Yeah, video setting changed after the patch, I notice it was doing the "Optimizing Shaders" thing when loading up my 1.03 patched BF2.

The bug where you are in a vehicle and put your crosshair over another vehicle far away will dissappear is still there sadly.

Hmm...maybe it set my draw distance back to 75% I'll have to go back and check that out.

It was creating he shaders as the old and new version use different directories so as not to **** up too much.

Re: Patch 1.03 Reduction in Draw Distance

after every patch the shaders had to be reworked.

About viewdistance, I don't think so, always been on 100% , still is, and haven't noticd any diference,

Yup also noticed that and went to settings to check. But stil at 100%. This is highly annoying, and seems inconsistend as well (have had a couple of time where I was shot at, without seeing anyone, then move 2 steps and POP there was the other guy - far away, but not so far as to be removed from drawing!).

On a positive note, my framerate has upped quite a bit (eyeballed observation so might be wrong, but noticed it from second 1 after installing patch).

Your sig is right too. However, DICE is only the group who does the programming. EA tells them what to do. So all the thigns like bunny hopping, AT missiles and sounds are under EA's lame control. Bugs and the redtag thing are DICE's fault.

Anyway i did notice a difference. Viewing distances are much shorter, and graphics suck now.
