Weird aura around players and zeds

[fearz0r 128]

Hi all, I'm new to the game (sorta) and I went on a server yesterday that displayed weird circular white(ish) auras around Zeds and players, which I could see through walls and other objects for a distance around me.. it was like a wall hack almost. Is this legit, and what causes it?

cheers

Yes, it gives you a kind of wh for zeds :D

For low difficulties it's suppose to represent seeing something out of the corner of your eye, or something. When translated into DayZ, it'll mean you'll be seeing a lot of white circles everywhere.

Its called "peripheral detection" and its a thing to mark nearby entities/players that aren't in your immediate view but off to the side. It is set to on with recruit difficulty.

I see. Well I noticed it appeared on the edges of my screen on one server, and then in my normal FOV on another..

It's a different setting than difficulty afaik. It's also on some veteran servers, it simulates your RL fov because your monitor only show part of it.
