Nice! because of some change, the ground swallows up people on all surfaces past 200m. 100% cover while being on flat-ground.

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?

I've noticed this. Also I noticed if you're in one of those places where "the ground swallows you up" and come in on an up-link, then it looks like you've spawned inside a wall for a second.

Hi,

We've read all your posts and the video posted by Enderr Wigginn is especially helpful (thanks for doing that).
We're currently evaluating a few options to mitigate this issue, will reply to the thread once any action is taken about this.

Again, thanks for the feedback. We couldn't possibly realize how serious the problem is without hearing from you guys directly.

No offense but shouldn't all players be able to see the same distance.. How are you supposed to see where you're being sniped from if you can't see the guy shooting at you because he doesn't render.

i love how they say that but large rails have pretty hard rendering cap on infantry at 300m but they can fire 599m just like sniper rifles but snipers can see all the 599m.

Yeh we had this problem re-occur the other night quite a few times, but only seems to be heavies that are able to spawn cloaked. Lucky Lowratehitman managed to capture one when recording and did a slow motion analysis on where and what was happening. You can view his invisible Heavy here.

...This thread is about ...
It's about Mercs not rendering over about 200M most of the time.
It's about Mercs disappearing into structures, clipping through walls, into buildings and other nonsense....

last we heard from any blue on this is that its done on purpose in order to privide graphics improvments.


so wont be reverted back due to it requireing a reset back to the old graphics.


aka were stuck with crappy rendering untill ps4

The rendering systems got their share of optimization and improvement love as well

Lets hope this has fixed some of the issues!
