mofokk 6 Posted July 19, 2012 Would love to regain the ability to increase view range. view range never really impacted performance on my machine but boy does it affect immersion when your surrounded by fog on a gorgeous sunny clear day.Some servers even have view range tweaked and you can see much much further. So if people are tweaking the values to suit their own server how about actually giving us back what we had previously(max view distance option) for the sake of cosmetics and immersion. Then leave server side view distance settings up to server admins depending on their own hardware limitations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangere 9 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) What are you talking about there was fog in the game from the beginig.If it rain it gets foggy so visibility go down. If there's no rain and visibility is low it's because of server. Visibility on most servers in around 1800m but some servers change it to some lower number. Arma 2 support visibility up to 10km you can try it out in single player.. Edited July 19, 2012 by Starngere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zorg_dk 30 Posted July 19, 2012 yes, view distance in dayz is too low. many other arma2 mods lets the user set it. chernarus runs fine with 4500m on my rig, so it sucks being limited to 1000 or whatever it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amok2kk 25 Posted July 19, 2012 The view distance in dayZ changed with the new update and that sucks hard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All players should be FORCED to see a maximum range that the server dictates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scene 36 Posted July 19, 2012 All servers I have been on in the last few days have a max view of about 900 meters before you can't see anything past the fog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangere 9 Posted July 19, 2012 The view distance in dayZ changed with the new update and that sucks hard.Really? I probably played on older version that's why i didn't notice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigger (DayZ) 24 Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah, I hate the fog. Also hurts when you are navigating by large mountains. On a normal day, you shouldn't have problems seeing 50km, let us see at least 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fearz0r 128 Posted July 19, 2012 I've not noticed it, but saying that the server I was on last night had sheets of rain, so I could hardly see my hands in front of me let alone anything around me.Will keep an eye out for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
