Title: Terrain draw distance seems very low
Post by: J Lynch on July 18, 2018, 06:00:11 PM

Hello all,

I've been noticing this problem I've been having with Arma where only the terrain close to me is in high detail, and anything farther than ~100m is in extremely low detail. I'm not sure if this is normal for the map I was playing on, but I have noticed in happening on Altis and Tanoa as well.

I've looked through and adjusted my video settings a heap of times, and as far as I can tell, nothing changes the low detail. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere? I included images showing what I'm talking about, as well as images of my current video settings. I thought it was just a draw distance issue, but those are all cranked to the max.

Not sure if it's needed as well, but my system specs are as follows:

i7-8700K
EVGA 1080ti FTW3
32GB Corsair Vengence DDR4 2666

I greatly appreciate any help!

ACE also has settings which effect your draw distance, you can check those under Addon Options. Perhaps that's set quite low?

Is it the ACE View Distance Limiter? I set that to 10000 and it looks the same unfortunately.

Yeah that was what I mean, just couldn't think of the words.

Ah I see. Yeah it doesn't seemed to have changed anything sadly.

Make sure that in ACE, you are adjusting it for on foot. just altering the base setting makes no difference.

The on foot setting was what I was adjusting.
