So in the newest patch view distance was turned down on every map to compensate for the lag. The problem is that the lag is caused by the new grass rendering which Kashan doesn't have. Kashan is the easiest to run map because there is no foliage and only simple terrain, but it is also the most open map and requires the highest view distance. My suggestion is simple, increase Kashan's view distance. It won't add any lag and will make the map much more playable.

wrong, the decrease in performance for players was caused by several contributing factors such as the lack of low detail versions for US Army kit geos.I don't get any lag on any PR map, but alot of people do, this change was for them. If teh cause is fixed, the VD will presumably be increased

Oh right sorry, forgot to add that in. Anyway, Kashan is by far the least demanding map and it deserves the highest view distance, right now it is too low. It's not that far off, but it always seems that what you want to see is just beyond the VD.

View distance was killed by a number of things, and I guarantee they will be increased once things are fixed. On Kashan Co-op I increased the view distance to 3000m and no lag/fps decrease what-so-ever. But that's because my card and cpu dominates bf2.

We have to keep a proper balance so that all players can play PR without a super gaming rig. As we find a fix problems that will cause low end PC users to lag we can change other things like view distance.

But we will change these when we can. Trust me we'd like to but we have to wait for the right moment.

Locked, because we've discussed this before.
