I know you guys are going on about snipers but this is a huge issue with railgun turrets both for tank snipers and installation operators like I occasionally am.

I actually pull out a sniper which has further rendering distance than most turrets in order to scope and sight targets before just firing at nothingness with my installation to take things out. (Yes, it actually works because the round travels beyond render distance somehow).

Still, it's odd when I notice my tank driving allies or myself are getting shot by railgun rounds coming quite literally from nothing so we shoot back at the nothing and mystically destroy an invisible militia tank that was seated there.

It's not just infantry, it's everything. I've killed invisible installations, invisible vehicles (LAVs, HAVs, Derpships), and of course invisible infantry while in a railgun turret. It's cute and all but, as I know how frustrating it is to be on the receiving side, render distances are something that still need tweaking.

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. I believe what you're experiencing is the side effect of an optimization we did in Uprising.

The optimization is about only simulating the characters within certain distance around your local player, which is a very common technique for games that have large maps. The view distance is partially tied to the weapon the player is using since for instance players using an assault rifle don't need to see as far as snipers.

I'll talk to the relevant devs about this. In the meantime, can you guys provide a list of weapons that are most annoying?

just wanted the #100 post. still waiting on a response and status of this ridiculous problem that they never should have had. 24 days since Dev post.

. players using an assault rifle don't need to see as far as snipers

That is so completely wrong it's not funny. Explain to your community the reasoning behind this. I find it absurd. Not only do sniper/scouts have a decreased scan profile, now they are not even rendering? If he can see me, I had DAMN Well be able to see him. Give everyone the same render distance. Just Cuz I can't shoot past 100 yards doesn't mean I'm I'm not actively looking for sniper bumps on the horizon to flank or point out.

I have an idea why instead of using only the reach of our weapon why not also use the reach of the enemies weapon too.

That way we can see the people who can kill us and prevent that.
