proof that DICE has decreased/screwed the draw distance

[t_c]

I have tried on 2 different 6800GT's, im just reporting to you what I've seen. Before people start having a bitch fest about drivers, let me tell you I've tried 4 different ones. The latest xtremeg 81.82, offical 81.84 beta, 78.01 and 77.77 (I used DriverCleaner before I loaded each version to get rid of the remaining dll files and other crap that gets left behind).

First 2 pics are before the patch, last 3 were taken after installing 1.03.

Of course it could be just my card, but I doubt it since other people were also complaining about the reduction in view distance... dont take my word for it, check for yourself

I expect the users with low end cards to have a whinge regardless.. its never a win-win situation I guess.... and yes I removed my alias, no point bringing it up..

ok.. maybe "proof" was the wrong choice of words to use..

NOTABLE Change is probably what I should have put

The change is neutral because you cant see people/hit them at that distance.

I can see virtually no notable difference. If anything the view distance in the 3rd pic is better than in the 2nd. Notice how you can see that mountain on the left? This seems contrary to your point.

Please make the pics smaller and post them side by side for easier comparison.

No, what I see is a driver or card error...

I should have realised that no good ever comes from posting on these boards, doesnt make much difference anyway seeing as how they've crippled the game with this patch.

Did you bother reading the first paragraph of the thread?, or just looked at the screenshots and decided to give a half ass'd reply to boost your e-w@ng post count.

Ahh, I see. Not exactly the clearest way to present that info. I don't get that so I don't think DICE reduce the draw distance.

so? what do we see? other than a texture error on the runnway?

With your pictures we cant say anything about the, as you claimed, reduced view distance simply because all your images where taken from a diffrent possition.

I thought I wouldnt even have to mention it because its so damn easy to spot.. maybe not

you're talking about the missing runway textures? i spent like 3mins staring at the far range on the pics trying to figure wtf you are talking about.

lol me too .. sokay glasseye the guy is trippin.., the pics are taken from different distances slightly, hence the difference in draw distance. Yeh there seems to be a gfx glitch on the runway but that seems to be bout it.

However the lighting contrast seems to be a little different, maybe this gives the optical illusion that its different from one patch to another, or again its possibly a slightly different position that changes this.

@ Drevor - of course if you reduce the image half the size of the original, its going to be difficult to notice anything wrong.



spot the difference yet ? my point is it shouldnt be like that (excuse my crappy paint skills)
