Planes not rendering until very close.

[Master Cat]

Enemy planes are USUALLY not rendering in until I am less than 2km from them, sometimes less, sometimes more.

I am using no mods or any modifications.
I've tried meddling with the graphic settings in every way I can.
I tried a clean installation of graphic drivers.
I tried manually reinstalling the EAC.

This has been a problem for at least half a year, but it did not bother me too much because I only played lower tiers.

Anybody got any idea whats up ?

Thats because your Crew's visibility does not allow further sight?

They changed how Visibility works to combat ESP Modifications, if you cannot see the target, be it by obfuscated view or out of sight distance it will not render in.

Hi,
Can you please first try the options below and see if these fix the issue.

Please update Windows as indicated by both AMD and NVIDIA FIRST. As indicated at their sites - then:

https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Knowledgebase&oldid=164658
Please clear the cache, verify the files and remove all custom content.

If this does not correct the issue, please do the following.

Can you please remove the current graphics driver(s) using DDU (or similar). https://www.wagnardsoft.com/

Please ensure that you follow the instructions and use Safe Mode.

Then re-install/install the latest driver(s) and re-test.

We need the game version, screenshots(taken using the in game screenshot function and please do not change the filenames), Replay's(both client and server), clog, & dxdiag.
Please ensure all custom content is removed first and that you are running a 'vanilla' version of the game.

Video's can be useful, but they DO NOT negate the need for the replay files. Can you please mount video's on a streaming site. Most of the Technical Moderation team are volunteers. If we were to download every video, in each report, most of us would exceed our monthly ISP download levels and either end up losing, or paying extra for our connections.
Whilst one small video is fine, multiple large videos could quickly become an issue given the number of reports that we handle. Your consideration with this issue is appreciated.

Can you also provide the steps to replicate the issue.

If the above does not correct the issue then please report it to the Technical Forum here https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder Select your Operating system etc. Or you can report it from the game under the Community tab in the hangar.
In order to investigate issues thoroughly we need ALL the files asked for.

Also include a screenshot of your graphics. BTW it is extremely difficult to see many aircraft at 2 kilometres in real life too! :)

Thanks

The cache seems to have done the trick, but please tell me how much is normally expected to re-download after clearing the cache ? Because I feel like 18GB is a bit too much for a cache.

Thank you.

That is all the models. It would be good if some who think the game doesn't take up memory actually note this! lol
