Remove Peripheral Vision Indicators (PVI)

[Marine (DayZ) 13]

I have searched all over google looking for an answer to this, but no one seems to have an answer that works.

So for those that KNOW what they are doing, here is the question.

How do I remove the "Peripheral Vision Indicators" from my server?

Before I get the classic outdated answer.... Change your difficulty settings. Let me first start by saying this.

As far as version 1.7.3 is concerned

Regular and Veteran settings: No matter if you change every setting to the OFF or 0 value. This DOES NOT remove the Vision Indicators.

The only setting that will turn them off is the Mercenary setting. Which has all the same settings as Regular and Veteran BUT, they all are set to 0 and you cannot change the ones you want. I want 3rd person, I want waypoints to work, I want tags off, I want the vision Indicators off. But basically my only options are Veteran the options I want enabled exception of the Vision indicators... or Mercenary with my options i want disabled and the Vision Indicators off.

Peripheral Vision Indicators are terrible. Might as well give us all a big radar in the upper corner of the screen, it needs to be turned off. At least on my server it needs to be. I shouldnt be able to spot players across the map out of the "corner of my eye(screen)". The peripheral vision on my eyeballs work just fine in game, I dont need this handicap.

Naw man, I already read through this thread and found none of it useful. I have tried about every combination to the difficulty settings profile and server config file to try and get these dots to go away nothing on that thread worked. HFB told me to try changing the Recruit class (Since the others have preset values that cant be changed) to all 0 values and using it seeing if that works but it didnt either.

We are also having the problem that we cannot deactivate these dots - I am sure I played on official dayz servers where peripheral vision dots were off - any success in disabling them so far?

i approve.

these, along with waypoints & all the other obvious easymode crap need to gooo!

in standalone we trust, i guess :S

Used to be able to turn them off, but as of the last recent DayZ version(s) you cannot.

I had them off in 1.7.2.5 on the old Atomic Gaming servers.

We have now managed to get rid of them - finally!

It seems like the game hoster did not correctly config the difficulty mode which we had already stated as "mercenary"; you definitely need to run this specific mode in order to get rid of the peripheral vision dots. Now our server appears correctly with tag "MERCENARY" in the server list.
