Is there a way I can fix view distance?

    I wanted to get back into crossfire as it's been about 5 years.


    I was interested in the single player, installed the whole mod with a fresh installation of Freelancer


    But when I play the game itself it runs just fine. However objects beyond 200m drop LODs really fast. A cruiser just 300m away looks 50% invisible with no weapons on it. I can see distant space battles like the one at Willard research station from over 16k away. But ships/objects 200m are ugly.


    I've tried launching multiplayer to see if there was an update that would fix it but I've had no luck. I've tried different shaders, and I've tried putting the graphics to low and back to high. I'm running the game in 2560x1080 (not sure if that'd make a difference)


    When I play on Discovery or Vanilla I never get this issue


    Any idea on something I can do that might fix this?

    Last time I heard about such a problem was ~8 years ago.

    Back then it was related to a graphics card or its driver. The test conducted at least showed that it ran fine using a different card from a different manufacturer.


    - The vanilla shader option would be the one default FL uses (and also discovery). Worth a try switching to it.

    - Also worth a try is to check if a driver update does lead to better results.

    - deleting the AMD or NVidia shader cache also is an option to try


    What windows version do you use?

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    I'm currently on Win 10 home 20H2


    I can try again on a different machine to see if I get better results but that might take a day or two


    I've updated my drivers and seen no improvements, I also deleted my shader cache and also saw no improvements


    I've tried every shader option in the launcher and have had no success so far.


    But thank you for the suggestions!

    what are your Hardware specs?

    I remember playing Crossfire a few years ago without issue

    I used to have a very similar setup without any issues a few years ago.


    Most suggestions I found online were about updating drivers.

    But I also found some suggestions which have fixed similar issues in different games by changing the texture quality to low and then back to high.

    and also

    shader size limit (not sure if that helps)

    I have tried it on the steam deck but couldn't get it to launch. But I have Arch on a laptop that works fine for some reason


    My main PC is windows though.


    It's not the most unbearable issue it's just very noticeable and I can't seem to fix it
