REMOVE THE F**KING GRASS

[🅱attletar🅳]

What is the point in having grass when the enemy who is 10 meters away doesnt have the grass appear, while I cant see him right in front of me because of all the grass right in front of my face. This is what used to piss me off with ARMA. It is a STUPID feature of the game, if you'd call it a feature, and should be removed. Either have grass for EVERYONE or DONT have it at all. Obviously its going to be a massive performance hit for people to have grass render everywhere so just REMOVE IT.

Best to keep to hedges then eh.

Yep, grass will only blind you and aid the enemy.

It sucks because it feels really immersive crawling through the grass to potentially flank or get a sneak kill. Completely ruined by the fact it doesn't render and at such low distance levels too. might aswell remove it if it doesn't function. Out of all the milsim games I played HLL seems by far the worst in terms of grass render distance levels by a large mile

Agreed 100%. Sad part is so many players don't know this.

This is my PC gaming pet peeve. At least on consoles everyone is seeing the same thing.

Grass and wheat fields should render for everyone, maybe a dev can confirm if it does or not?

Even in Battlefield V you can have trees and bushes disappear at a distance... it's an issue, but devs want people with lowly PC's to play this game, so to be on even ground low settings is often best.

I don't like it, but i ain't playing at a disadvantage when latency is already an issue.

Lets hope Unreal 5 can fix that problem.

Its not an issue with the engine. ARMA does exact same thing. To be able to draw moving grass, exactly the same and have it render at exactly the same time on every single players screen will create massive performance issues. I say until they work out a way around it, REMOVE THE F**KING GRASS

It doesn't have to be the same tho, you ain't really going to be seeing a single blade of grass from 100metres out, it's a matter of doing a decent LOD of it for set distances, rather than just having it disappear.

i mean this is a realistic game you cant turn off grass irl

True. Your never safe in there. This is why i never crouch too long and far in the grass, unless i really have no choice.

That is untrue.

Leave the grass

[Doyle]

Let's be realistic, they're NOT going to remove the grass. There are some work arounds though. Doesn't Arma have the person laying prone after X distance actually sink into the ground from someone elses perspective so they can't be seen? It creates the stealth element without removing the grass. Until then, don't lay in grass. Lay in cover.

The only grass that has ever really worked was voxel grass and it was only ever used a handful of times in very old games , namely Delta Force [2].
