Have they fixed the tether distance yet?

My friends and I gave up playing PvE on a private server because the tether distance was like 50m or 100m or something tiny it made it unplayable for anyone joining the host due to getting pulled around, and the host would often get stuck due to someone teleporting inside them.

Survival Evolved had the tether distance option and you could put a value of like 10,000 and hit enter and it'd let you go anywhere without issue, but the tether distance setting doesn't do anything on Ascended

No. The only options are to either run a dedicated server on owned hardware, rent a server, or join an existing server with your friends.

u can change tetherleash in gameusersetting.ini
Copy ListenServerTetherDistanceMultiplier=900000000000000.000000000 in there( somewhere on 2/3 down the doc) gives abt 1000 mtrs.

Survival Evolved I'm pretty sure required more storage requirement which allowed for this plus a little less demanding.... people complained about the amount of space it took up so the devs trimmed it a little

Naah thats fake, the devs just removed the option "tether distance" like the "Fav"tab without patch note or info, is just a big fail

They removed the tether options because the HOST PC has to render everything you see. Meaning the further away you are from the host they have to render their area plus yours so it boggs down the system.

It is defaulted at 800m caves suck, volcano is buggy but everywhere else its ok. Best advice is to run a spare PC with 16gigs of ram to host your server OR if you have 64gigs of ram just dual host and play on the same system there is a guide for it.

Idk I never had a problem with the original playing with 3 friends and my PC was below recommended at the time. Now it’s well above recommended for Ascended and I don’t even have the option.

PC gaming has always been about customization, options and choices. Just because something isn’t viable right now doesn’t mean in 2 years it still is. We used to he given the choice of letting our game run like crap for some cool features and it seems game devs are too scared to do that which is ironic seeing as every game in the last 5 years could have run better but nobody cares about making their game run well anymore.
