Draw Distance

[logic1422]

I know that this question probably has an obvious answer... IO search the forum though and couldn't find one. Is there a command to change the object fade/draw distance in HL2 single player?

thanks, i will try this... is the fading only because I'm using dx7? If so, it doesn't seem right that valve is adjusting fade distance based on your dx level and not the more important factor of what video card you have (not to mention other hardware like cpu and memory) and not even giving a cmd to change it :flame:

That makes no sense. Valve cannot customize to every possible CPU/GPU/RAM/Resolution/Etc setup possible. MOST DX7 boards are weaker than most DX8 boards, which are weaker than most DX9 boards. It was a fairly safe option to do what they did for the sake of the gameplay experience. All I can say is be happy you CAN change it. A lot of games do not readily give you the option to begin changing small variables like that.
