The dev's already increased view distance for 0.6.

Agreed with this. It's already a kind of problem now. If you make the view distance even longer, it will become a serious problem.

did you even read my post, you can make biuldings draw at any distance, i am 90% sure it would work for anything else on the map.

I was talking about people hiding behind mountains/hills and being able to see them.

The Wookie sniper mod has a view distance of 1500. But stuff starts to look weird/bushes dissapear/you see lots of white stuff below trees at past 1000 meters:/

i was looking through the editor and found something about a terrain culler, i think this has something to do with the ground changing shape in the distance.

The view distance on kashan desert could be dramatical increased without getting any lag because most of the map is only desert and hills.

I tried Zangs view 4km view distance on a local server and it looks awesome. Can see the bunkers from US main. Wish I could test it out on a full server for performance test though.

So does it or does it not work with PB?

No because its part of your local server files and will be flag by PB. You can try if you like

The one thing BF2 did do right is catching hackers with this setup, this would be considered a hack. You can set the view distance on your own map (or others) and play it locally only. But you will have to rename the level.


Also asking how to get around PB is not allowed here
