RamBoRaideR 1 Posted August 28, 2012 Hi there, i got a problem while playing - i cant change my View distance. or rather more accurately - when i change my view distance it changes, but the second i get in the sights the view distance changes back to 300/400 meters. tested on Fallujah Insurgency Night time (10PM Game time) tried changing the View distance both through the Insurgency "Radio" Controls (at the Map) and at the MCC, none helped. also tried to run without recently downloaded mods, didnt help aswell. Thank you very much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnowSky 12 Posted August 28, 2012 Sorry I didn't understand your problem very well, so please tell me if I am wrong. You changed the view distance in a mission while playing? If so, perhaps there is a problem with a script, and by the way, if you change it in a mission, it would get reset to the value you entered in the game options once you stop the mission, if I remember correctly. So better set it in MainMenu: Options -> Video options -> Distance Can you make a screenshot so that we can see where you set your view distance Options?

RamBoRaideR 1 Posted August 28, 2012 The view distance is set during a multiplayer session, examples to where i set my view distance will be the "Settings" scroll wheel option in Domination, Etc. it did not happen before, and i got no clue what changed since the last time.

SnowSky 12 Posted August 29, 2012 Hmmm, and the option says 300/400m? or is that the distance you can see effectively (in that case, it might be also the weather setting - more fog = less view distance)? Are you running the latest stable release or the beta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bates 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Hey Rambo. We play on Takistan Insurgency and one of our players is also noticing this happening. It's a problem with the mission. I'll look into what might be causing it, might be worth notifying the mission author on his thread here, which I will probably do in a day or two if I can't find the fix. Also try another mission just to make sure this isn't the only issue you are having. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BasileyOne 10 Posted September 1, 2012 some mission makers hard-code viewdistance on-purpose and/or provide ability to tune them before mission launch. other did same for terrain grid resolution. with similar reason: provide consistent/immersive gameplay and ensure fairplay. thats why also, some server admins enforce grass on servers, despite whine of owners of Arma2-incompatible-PC's[read single-core CPU's].

I'm familiar with my unit's server, and the View distance was not set prior to mission launch, i'm mainly awaiting Bates to post his results, thanks alot.
