Technical View distance doesn't affect players

[Alcmeon]

Hi !

So here's the thing : when I change my view distance setting, it changes the distance at which I can see objects and landscape, but doesn't affect players or NPCs. This is annoying as **** because it seems to always be set on Low, even when my view distance is set on High, which means I can see the world, but not the people in it.

This is a real problem for me because I can't see players really far in a BG or in certain arenas if they are on the opposite side of the map. I don't know where are my enemies.

Is there a way to set it differently ?

Thanks !

If I am not wrong that is setted from the server, that is why you can't change it

Really ? Normally this should be setted by the View Distance cursor, why is Warmane different for that ? And why is this setting so low ?

Any staff answer ? Did anybody solved this problem before ?

Which realm/expansion are you playing on?

You mean that you can't move the slider... or what?

I can move the slider, it actually changes the view distance, but it only changes the distance at which I can see the landscape. Units (players, npcs) only appear at a very low distance, as if the view distance setting was always set at Low for units.

I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to explain, English isn't my mother language. :/

Can you post a screenshot from your video settings?
