How to set the view distance...

[ringedingdong]

... espacially for objects higher?

A friend of myn, isn't able to switch it in the options. When he plays, around like 5 meter around him all things disappear (not the landscape, only objects).

Does anybody know, how to change that?

Thanks
Alex

I believe the following commands are it...

cl_detaildist [range] - Determines the range at which detail props are shown (e.g. grass). The higher the value, the lower your performance as more add-on details are shown. Reducing this setting can increase performance, and increasing this setting will improve image quality.

cl_detailfade [range] - Determines the range at which detail props fade into view. Increasing this value can raise performance.

But if you have a very low-end video card, those won't help the least bit, I think.
