Description

Description:

Set rendering distance. Setting view distance to >= 0 resets the value to the client's options (set in Options → Video → General → Visibility → Overall).

ⓘ

In previous versions, client's max view distance was limited by the server's view distance.

⚠

View distance also defines the maximum distance between a unit and any other unit they can know about. Higher view distance will involve more AI simulation cycles for every unit, which causes low performance. See Arma 3: Performance Optimisation.
