QUestion is in title.

Basically I have all but Shadows and PostAA set to low and noticed that small mechs aren't rendered when they're farther away than 700m and bigger mechs when they're beyond 900m. I regularly get shot by sniper that are clearly farther away than that so there must be a away to get a higher viewing distance.

I think what you are looking for is to turn off ALL post processing of any kind. It seems they deprecated the user.cfg overrides but here goes, since this was probably lost with closed beta. This was the fps tweak for forest colony. Paste in user.cfg. I have disabled joystick settings by putting a ";" See how it goes.

Note: I am not going to give support on this.YMMV. It's in my user.cfg but anyones guess whether it still does anything
