Short visability distance in multiplayer

Recommended Posts

Not really sure where to look as I just played multiplayer for the first time last night.

Scenario:

2 players. Both have Visibility Distance set to 10k

I created a game with the Internet Option

The Takistan map weather was set to no fog, full sun.

When playing the game we could not see enemy units because of the fog, however they were able to fire on us.

When I play Single player Visibility works correctly at 10k.

What am I not understanding?

Thanks

In MP the mission sets the visibility (in SP too, but you can change it afterwards with your personal settings).

There are addons to allow you personal visibility settings.

Thanks for the reply. So I should create my own server, install the Vis addons and set it accordingly?

The addons are client side, like:

However you need to find a server to allow them to be used (the server will be red if

not, if you have addons loaded not allowed).

You can host yourself a dedicated server on your same computer or make a local server

(MP-NEW-Create Server).

Been playing with InstantViewDistance, from one of the links you sent. Perfect fix.

Thanks.
