Half Life 2 draw distance

[my_computer]

in episodes 2 my draw distance is really bad. is there a way to change this?

 

[iBot]

I dont think so.

Word of warning though, dont talk down on the orange box. It's regarded as a flawless game here and any negative comments about it gets you trolled on every board you go to

You can check some console commands but I dont think there any to increase the view.

 

[RumbleBee]

hehe. Not just every board, but future employees will be notified too.

Seriously though I'm not aware of any draw distance adjustments that can be made in the options. Have you seen the game elsewhere to confirm your distance is 'wrong', or does it just feel bad

 

[my_computer]

the orange box is ok, i wont be negative about it..

yes, the draw distance just feels a bit poo.. nothing to compare it to.. just noticed in the driving sections that the draw distance isn't that great

Of all the games in history that i've noticed draw distance problems in, half-life 2 is one of the last i would consider. I'll have to reinstall Ep2 to get a look at what you mean - watch this space.

I haven't noticed any issues in EP2, here is a screenshot of a pretty long view:

Same as above, have never noticed draw distance problems in any source game.

I think HL2 is good - playing it now 1600x1200 high - nice graphics - I wonder what EP1 and EP2 are like?

How dare you criticize orange box Any more comments from you two and I will have you reported under anti-terrorism legislation!

i only noticed it when driving.. bushes etc appearing quite close to me.

Only when you deliver criticism in a completely moronic and cretinous fashion. Think about that.

Never had any issues with draw distance, and i'm not aware of any options for this. Perhaps check your graphics drivers or the HL2 site for known compatability issues?

It's mostly when you're driving around in the countryside with all the trees by the riverside. There's a hideous amount of popup, even with everything maxed out. Screenshots aren't exactly going to convey this.

 

[FrenchTart]

Ah yes, I remember the fun of the popup. I'd be interested if anyone does know a way to improve it - have tempted to replay HL2 atm.

 

[my_computer]

yeah this is what i mean /\
its nothing major.. i was just wondering if it was an issue with my pc, or something that could be tweaked

anyway i just finished episode 2.
good stuff

I've only noticed it when you fire the gnome miles ahead of you with the mavity gun. When he reached full distance he seems to disappear. Although, if you zoom in, you can see him again. Nearly got the little ****** to the rocket now.

When was the draw distance becoming a probelm for you?

Could try:

cl_maxrenderable_dist

In the console, default is 300 I think.

 

[Participant]

Can't be as bad as Crysis.

I don't remember any draw distance issues.. infact, I thought the draw distance was pretty good!

There may be some when driving fast, but no more than you get in any rally game/driving sim imo
