Terrain Detail/Visibility Distance

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I've been searching for a solution for this on google and inside the forums but nothing is coming up that is working.

In Arma 2(not OA) I'm trying to set my terrain detail to 'Very High', but while my visible distance is over something like 4900km i can't set the detail above 'normal.' I've been reading about how this could have something to do with the cfg file and how its not setting the correct localVRAM information. I checked it and I set it to the correct number of bytes for my graphics memory, but still no luck on alleviating the limitation.

Is my hardware not going to allow this? Or is there another bypass?

syspec:

AMD x4 955 3.8GHz

2.6GHz NB

4GB 1600 7-7-7-24 RAM

Geforce 480GTX 1.5GB DDR5

Thankyou in advance for the help!

AFAIK you can't change that. It's just a hard-coded parameter.

I remember I read somewhere on here that Anistropic filtering has a bug caused by the driver itself.This causes that hard line where the grass just stops.Poster uninstalled driver and reverted to a previous and then used AF setting from the driver itself and the grass went out way further.Thats what I remeber...I am sorry if I imagine it.

I think the VD limit where A2/A2:OA automaticly switch from very high to high terrain detail is ~3450 m and thats the reason why I have my VD set to 3415 m.

:( stinky business. ok, well thanks anyways. at least i sorta know that i don't have the option now, and I'll stop messing with it until something changes. I'm finally getting good performance with Arma after numerous upgrades and overclocks. War is fun when it with smooth framerates and no real bullets. The AI seems to act a little more intelligently when the processing power is there to help them make decisions ;). haha i was just curious to see if I could get the "full effect."

That issue was present in the 258.69 driver, but was fixed in the 258.96 one.
