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 was killed today about 20 time by invisible snipers you can't see them on map.

If the PS3 struggles to render the game as it is, I see why you have put in render limits.

However this is a really really bad idea in a FPS, not being able to see targets because they are too far to render is just plain wrong.

Not only that its not always consistent, it seems to change all the time, the distance at which things render.

We need optimisations to increase the FPS. At the same time draw distance needs to be the same for ALL.

This is one of the major reasons I wanted dust on a damn PC. None of this struggling old hardware. Having said that the PS3 CAN render other games like BF3 , and others so why the problem here?

Hi,

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

AR (Burst and Tactical versions), Scrambler, Laser Rifle, Shotgun, Mass Driver, Sniper Rifle, Forge Gun, Flaylock Pistols

Did I forget any? The grenades too thats right.

Post 1.4:

I was just in a game where I rendered a player model at 564m. This is great news! Not sure if this game was an anomaly, but is a step in a promising direction. I will note, however, that half of a large turret installation did not render at this distance. Whether that is intended or not remains to be seen..... but still. I'm happy that the player model rendered.

That have been some random people rendering at that distance for a bit now. However, the guy you saw probably had 3-4 other teammates next to him that you couldn't see at the same time
