Guest Tygrys330 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 What if I put the suggestion like this: Suggestion name: Increase drawing distance Suggestion description: Increase the option of drawing distance to 1 km or more. Default setting would be lower and players with better PCs are able to increase the setting. This way everyone can enjoy the game with different build PCs. Any example images: - Why it should be added?: Other players' trucks appear too late in long straights making the game look unrealistic. If there was an option to increase that distance, gaming experience would be better without out of nowhere popping trucks. Be my guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLynxster Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 -1 Because I feel that it is not needed and obviously cause more lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David E. Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 There is a similar feature already used by Game Moderators where they can see other players regardless of distance, but not sure if would works for players as could somehow cause lag.

flybel Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Guys, the lag argument is invalid. The OP meant for it to change the slider in the settings that already exists. Which means that nobody is forced to make use of the extended draw distance. Only lag that could result would be server lag. I don't know how big the performance impact is for the server when new people appear for a player, but the devs do know so they can decide in how far this is possible. I agree with DerAmpelmann that it doesn't have anything to do with the speed, but simply the fact that you want to see people coming and not pop out of nowhere as they approach you. Adds to the atmosphere of the game. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batslav Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) +1 it can be extended a little bit, not needed to be too much, like 100-200m more might be good enough, also it does not draw details like paint jobs accessoaries and so on until we are close.

CarCat Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have a potato PC, and although useful for the 60% of users with good PCs, the other 40% of us will get more lag. Draw distance increased means more strain on the server. The more strain on the server, the slower everyone gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 +1 From me, i can usually only see a few trucks in a line, and never whats happening ahead. (And i dont think people are understanding the topic, it isnt about forcing everyone to have a higher distance, thats an option.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
