dooks 1 Posted June 21, 2012 Since the server sets draw distance for the clients is it possible to have a server setup with max draw distance for those of us with the hardware to run such settings? It is possible that it is the server that cannot run the higher draw distances at smooth frame rates. If that is the case would it be possible to have the server setup something like this: Draw distance at max for players, grass and that kind of thing, Any loot/zed drawn only if already spawned, Zed spawn in at whatever distance you have now, Loot spawns in at a reduced distance say 800 meters. Reduce the player count slightly if you have to no less then 40 though.I am willing to provide such a server just wondering if it is acceptable to Rocket, and if it is doable.

There is quite a bit of a hit to frame rate in single player arma 2 between 5k and 10k. I quite often find myself wishing I could see further. With everyone having the same distances I can't see a reason not to allow this for those that want it, like the difference between the 3rd person on/off options. Lets hear from some staff on this if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
