Reinstalled game in a vain attempt to fix some of the client crashes. Set graphics to low to try to avert crashes (low and high basically run the same for me).

On low sometimes mechs at 1200 yards or so will not be rendered. I found out the hard way when an invisible Gausscat started sniping me. I saw the Gauss rounds materialize in midair and come towards me. A few moments later a light got within sensor range of the cat and I saw an empty red square where a mech should've been.

I think I've fixed this by raising some the graphics settings. Shouldn't happen on any graphics setting. I noticed this a while back too.

This happens to me as well. Jenners are often not rendered for me when they are in firing range. It's hard to tell if they are behind something or not. Usually I realize they are just not rendering and are in the open.

Try adding this to your user.cfg.......

e_ViewDistRatioCustom = 100

e_viewDistRatioCustom : sets view distance for the "custom" group, which basically can be whatever objects and stuff are set to be in that group, but it seems the mechs are in that group, as setting this to 10 means you can't see mechs until they are right in your face...ie it wont render them.

So setting this to 100 or something may help you possibly if somehow its not set right........I don't see why it wouldn't be tbh tho.

and this

e_MaxViewDistance = 2000


e_MaxViewDistance : pretty self explainatory.......higher number increases how far you can see basically.....(in meters afaik)



I don't really expect these to fix the problem you are having, but it might............so its worth a shot I guess........ :P
