Don't see avatars within draw distance

[annejonsson]

Hello everyone! I have a question. I have my Draw Distance in Firestorm set to 1024. If i even click on some avatars on my radar that are 3000 m away, it cams there and i can see the buildings, objects, but don't see avatars unless i am about 100 - 130 m near the avatar. So when i am about 200 m away and cam someone, camera moves there and i see the buildings and objects, but i don't see avatars at all. Is it normal or can i change something in settings to make it work?

No, I would say it's not normal.  A view-distance of 1,024m would kill most people's fps completely, if not their graphics card.  Avatars, being generally more 'dynamic' than objects are handled differently by the servers so I'm not suprised they aren't visible at 3 kilometers but, having said that, you should be able to see them from more than 100m.  The 200m you mention should be fine, for instance.

So is there anything in settings, i should pay attention at, to see them from at least 200 m? Or is it just because my computer/graphic card is too weak for that?

Thanks everyone, after relogin, i can see avatars even 3000 m far, not all though. Don't know what was that...

Are you trying to view avatars on their own property when they have their security/privacy set to not allow that?
