view distance seriously low

[smellybumbum]

the player/mob view distance is terrible i have all my settings on max getting 400 fps and there is players/mobs fading in and out in front of me, it really hurts the whole feel of an open world when you can barely see whats happening a certain distance in front of you, this is obviously a server side problem/settings can we have it turned up please...

I'm pretty sure the reason for this is how the server is able to handle so many people online at the same time. It was an intentional change.

I have it on max but that's not server side.

I've heard developers reduced view distance so server can hold more players without crashing. I think that might be true considering my graphics are on highest and I still have the same 'problem'.

He is correct. The server determines at what distance mobs/NPC's will be viewable. This saves the server bandwidth, because it can reduce the amount of data it has to be sending to each individual client.

I don't think it's something they'll be changing anytime soon, with the population the way it is.

You can do it with this command:

/console SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 50)
