Are there the usual benefits of lower quality = better visibility?

[lickitysplit]

Does this game suffer from long distance objects not rendering for those playing on low foliage and draw distance? Will a dude proning behind a rock, bush, tree, or tall grass be in the open?

[Zashra]

Not from what I've experienced.

I dont think so.. havnt really looked though

I play at everything low (laptop) and I still can spot enemy's at 300m - 500m (1080p)

Less foilage= more visability. Effects on Epic = better aim cause you can see your bullet impacts. View distance is the same

There's the benefit of seeing like daytime during night missions by maxing out your gamma, which is annoying.

Do the devs intent to balance the low to high foliage setting? I find it really annoying lying prone in the gras and I can‘t see anything while I‘m a sitting duck for others with lower settings.

Thing is, they can't really do it without *severely* increasing the minimum specs for the game. To achieve similar foliage coverage, you'd need to render *all* the vegetation for several hundred meters. For example, that's why bushes are good for concealment at the moment while grass is useless, and why you get shot even if you think you can't be seen through the grass on the hillside.

Also, to make it truly fair, you also can't really have LOD (level of details) scaling by distance, because then for example the high-LOD tree right next to you might be far worse at concealing you when seen by someone far away who sees a low-LOD version of it.

As for the OP, I don't really know how much of a difference it makes since I have to play on mostly low settings just to get a playable frame rate at the moment.

I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is some sort of advantage for the lower settings. When playing in proper matches you must have "Shadows to at least Medium and View Distance to at least High". Make of that what you will

Even at low view distance vegetation is being rendered 350m away. If someone can hit you at that distance they kind of deserve the kill. Maps with fog nothing is visible more than 350m away anyway. If you stand up or run around it is possible however that vehicles can spot you.

Ironically smoke grenades stand out beyond 350m since they are rendered and vegation is not so it will draw the attention of vehicles wanting to supress or kill you from a distance.

ALT F4 draws a highlight around the enemy players you can see (sorta like individual gamma)... doesnt work for those you cant see only those in field of view so you dont get anyone hiding behind an object.

I heard of games that regulate settings from server side. I.e., the minimum to join a server is „high settings“ and everyone below that can‘t join that specific server. That would be nice to see to be honest.

Another solution to even the odds could be with adding fog to the lower settings to limit visibility to the same level of foliage blockage on epic settings. Cause if there is an epic setting implemented into a mp game but it constitutes a disadvantage for the user it‘s just plain unnecessary.

This setting is already in the game and its enforced by server owners. its called
Tournament Mode if I recall, and it basically enforces their settings over your own.
So anybody can join but it forces your game to render at whatever settings the server set it to.
The limit is if its enabled your server will only show up under "Custom Servers"
