What is the most reliable view distance setting?

Recommended Posts

What is the most popular view distance setting/number for the whole campaign?

I have everything on very high, AA normal with 3d reloution 1900x1200 and it runs great.

But i don't want to sacrifice view distance for better graphics.

What would be the lowest I can go on view distance yet not to low that I could be sacrificing gameplay.

Haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure the viewDistance is set in the mission file itself. That's what I always do when designing a mission. The mission designer knows what kind of mission it is and can set the viewDistance to maximize performance AND gameplay.

In a sniper mission for example, you might want 3000+m, but in an intense urban combat scenario with tons of units the viewDistance reduction + fog/rain can be used to ensure maximum performance.

Thus I believe your own settings are changed automatically in the campaign missions anyway, so it doesn't matter really.

Imo 2 km is enough, 3 km is..good.

Thanks,to be honest I have been playing with 6km but I will lower it as I have not gotten to any of the cities yet which I am sure will really push my PC.

If the mission doesn't already do this for you (it doesn't seem like the campaign does) it's usually best to adjust based on the mission... If you're laser designating, sniping or providing CAS from long distances, you need to increase it. If you're doing CQB you don't really need so much.
