Can we start banning people abusing render distance?

[Anonym]

So I would like to explain myself, I was hiding in the bunker near Hemlock. Bounty was inside and fighting, out of nowhere my friend got killed in the white house from 110m through wall. I then got hit 3 times inside that bunker through wood even though he could not see me or know about me.

His steam profile was private so I could not get much but he had 3000 kills and 7KD+. 3000 kills is alot so I dont he was cheater but just derendering textures and I do believe things like this should be banned just like cheating.

Good job again Crytek

Yes of course you may.

There is no difference between abusing render distance and using ESP. You will see when someone makes viral video about it on youtube and Crytek gets scared because of bad PR and will fix it just like RESHADE.

For now I simply hope it will be fixed with the engine update. Funnily enough you don't even need to be very far away - depending on the spot certain objects even derender in completely normal situations, I'm talking less than 30m distance. Derender is one of the biggest issues atm.

I could not disagree more. If it was SOOOO advantageous many many many more players would be doing it.

What we have is the stat junkies raising their K/D to improbable heights and basking in the accomplishment of it.

They are such a small part of our community I think this issue is near the bottom of the priority list.

what issues have bigger impact then? Only trading comes to mind.
Derender is basically a free, abusable wallhack for certain types of players, which no one can say is a small issue regardless of how many people abuse it. It's actually quite insane how many walls derender even close range, not even mentioning stuff like, the 300m compound isn't rendering and I can now know where a team spawned.

I would say finding a solution to the networking issues faced by many players [that are outside the player's control] should be put before something as inane as de-rendering stat junkies.

At that distance just playing on low graphics settings will do that stuff sometimes. It would be impossible to police.

100m is right around where random stuff starts dropping out. It might just be one panel on a wall or a shutter or something else but right around 100m is where it starts getting funky. There really should not be an advantage for playing on low graphics but there is.

What networking issues? Game runs flawless.

Yes, it really is a shame.
I mean, everyone can try it for themselfs.
Sett object details to low - go to davant ranch - view in direction of healing waters.
And look how many bushes and fences are missing and sometimes even walls of healing waters.
Its crazy.

there is a massive difference

ESP you gotta install third party software to gain an unfair advantage

this "render distince" exploit only takes you to what? adjust your settings in the main menu?

should we start banning people for increesing gamma for nighttime too? sure its cheezy but its far from cheating

sure its cringe to be taking advantage of setting options but unless crytek decides to add other things to the ignore list (e.g players arent affected by render distince but PVE is)

then its nothing more than a settings thing which btw iv already gave a method it can be patched (if it really is that problematic)
