Tweaking View Distance and Object detail

[Bre3ze 13]

So i've been playing DayZ on a normals Laptop for a while now, it is playable because I have watched the FPS increase tutorials in YouTube. (i play at about 25 fps) 

My viewdistance in the DayZ notepad is sceneComplexity=100000; viewDistance=1600; preferredObjectViewDistance=1600;

And my Object detail ingame is on very low (i think its how far it renders, Very high = very high view distance)

Will this affect the distance I see players from? Does this mean I can't see players very far off, thus putting me at a disadvantage?

Yeah it does effect it abit, For example i also game on a laptop and use the same config settings as you and when i try to look at people from far away i sometimes see like only the bottom of them or like they would be see through, It doesn't effect it if you zoom in though

If i remember right i read somewhere a dev saying game renders additional ground layer in distance to compensate lack of grass and other detail what would be hiding him in closer range.

 

I have both view distances set to 1000 which i think is enough in any situation.
