half life 2 Draw distance help

[sykokilla77]

Does anybody notice stuff popping up when you are a mere 20 feet away from it if so then what do I do to get it to stop this. In other words increase the draw distance.

I use r_lod -7 (which gives more detail to objects at a distance)
so thats not it.

I have a RADEON 9800 pro with dx 9 enabled.

current level that i noticed this on was Sandtraps with the mountains

I have a similar problem. When I am about 20 steps away from a physics object, like a barrel, it is not there, but when I zoom in, it becomes visible and I don't like it.

Here you go, your solution: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=56985.

This should be sticked, so DX7 GPU owners could eliminate this if their PC can handle it.

Glad I could help :thumbs:. It was annoying when for example I saw some combine soldiers and wanted to shoot them with the crossbow and nothing happened. I zoomed in and saw, that they were actually behind these big washing machines that had a shorter draw distance so I could see the combine with unlimited draw distance through the invisible at this distance washing machines.

I just noticed you have a radeon 9800. I'm surprised, I thought this happens only on dx7 GPU's.
