tankibanki Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have noticed that infantry models disappear if my camera position moves more than 400-600m away from them even though they should still be visible given their size. My graphics settings are pretty low due to playing on a laptop. However, I have tried playing around with the settings and have not been able to get the models to show further away. Is there a setting that changes the visible range for graphic models? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillLight Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 As far as I remember, the engine adjusts the level of detail (LOD) dynamically based on your performance not based on your settings. So if far away infantry are turning into stick dolls it means your graphics performance is getting too weak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm running a Core 2 Quad 9400 2.6GHz with 4gb RAM & a PCI-e GTX 460. I can run ARMA 2 at full detail and over a mile draw distance at a smooth framerate and if you've played that one you know how intensive it can be on computers. I still get this issue. The problem isn't one of graphic power. When I click on the part of the battlefield where the soldiers are they suddenly appear. Then troops in other parts of the battlefield disappear and I have to click on them. I can still see the tracers and smoke, etc. from the invisible part of the battlefield, but not the troops or icons. It's very annoying and strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 1. Arma 2 is directx, cmbn is not, it is opengl. 2. As an experiment, turn shadows off and see if it makes a difference. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medlinke Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm moving all my updates and posts over to Tech Support, where I've got a specific thread about this. I will definitely give that a shot Rune. I've just been messing around mostly to see if it's a feature and not a bug with my troubleshooting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
