Draw Distance

[melvindorf 4]

So i noticed that the draw distance of trees in standalone is far shorter than in arma 2 for me, but I thought it was a feature to better optimize the game. However when I was playing with my friend I was asking him what he could see looking from Klen hill to Black mountain and he said he was seeing trees all the way to the castle while I was looking at bare terrain surrounding it.

Is there a setting I have missed? Because I think I have tried everything and always get the same draw distance any suggestions/fixes would be very welcome.

Turn up scenecomplexity in cfg, or object detail in options

[melvindorf 4]

Object and terrain doesn't change the distance for me. I can't see scenecomplexity in my .cfg file. is it in documents>Dayz ?

[flobie 2]

go to C:\Users\COMPUTERS NAME \Documents\DayZ Other Profiles\YOUR IN GAME NAME WITH LIKE WEIRD STUFF and then open that config file and search for view then it should say preferredObjectViewDistance that for if you see trees or building and viewDistance is how far you can see

[obsidienne 7]

weird ... Maybe something to do with AMD cpu ?
