Render distance?

[creepy-streaker]

Certain things, mainly cars and bird nests, dont render until im within something like 8 feet from them.
I know other people im playing with can see them from further so anyone know what setting to change to increase the distance? ive currently already got lod set to max and view distance is high + dynamic resolution is off.

figured it out through trial and error.

Object Quality

is was determines the render distance for stuff like fences cars bird nests etc.

Depending on your rig... this may or may not work well for you. What I did was max everything out for graphics... Ultra... then lower Reflections and water qualities to 'Low' cuz who needs to see a perfect mirror image of themselves in the water or in windows anyway? Besides, those too high starts hurting performance noticeably. And, turn Shadows down to 'High' (or Medium for less powerful PC hardware) and reflected shadows I turn off cuz again, don't care about reflections. Some other things are about personal preference... I don't like motion blur or depth of field so I disable those... it gives a slight boost to performance but, is just my preference. Game will look about as good as it's going to get this way and still perform decent on a decent gaming rig.
