Is possible to return to the original render distance?

I agree completely, the resistance/war theme is cool, but it took the focus away from the survival factor, and became a bit less realistic overall.

i really hope that game receive some patch like the old times…

No, its never going to happen i would love to have a better render distance like in the first 3 years…and render in real time(some areas when you look its like they are “being rendered” like from low resolution to HD, usually objects and walls.
We might not even get a patch to fix the latest bugs they introduced in December with the official Last Update!

Can’t say that I have noticed a difference in render distance since I started playing the game back in the day, not anything I can recall anyway.
Is this a console thing or what? I play on an old PC, and just took this screenshot.

You can make out a lot of low quality buildings and things like that, but if you look at the city in the distance you can see how it’s just blank space where all the houses should be, sadly it doesn’t render buildings and machines as far as it used to anymore

Ah yes, I see now. Compared to the first picture posted by @djzerotx above, there’s a huge difference.

The game is about building bases and defending them. (NOW) You don’t need to worry about sniping anything at any distance. And because of the very limited locations of the control points, you don’t need to explore, take in the sscenery or do any overwatch.
Welcome to Gen Zero 2.0

This could be why, when there was a management change in the company, the game took a turn to be a base building game and the new management didn’t care to do anything outside the control point areas.

i think u r in right…the management change in the company has totally blasted some of the best original features of the game…

yes my screen was from ps4 pro…anyway on pc there is the same issue…if you install the patch 1.51 the downgrade will be clear(i think you are playing on version 1.00 or 1.20…

yes exactly!!!i am worried about this thing…is really possible that the game remains like this…so bad…

Render distance should be a slider.

First, this topic is not really to talk about “this” You can check the So I guess that's it then? ,this one January 22nd Hotfix Summary - New and Remaning bugs to look over and January Hotfix released (all platforms)
But just to make it clear, I agree, and the worst part is the lack of recognition from them, they broke something, they are supposed to come and say" ok guys Our supposed Last Update brought some issues, dont worry we will fix them in 1 or 2 patchs, and only then we go away forever besides the special events and FMTEL".
Its been 1 week since the patch and still radio silence about it.

At least even two, if you look at the steam hotfix, which is practically the same.

Do you remember when we were even able to see östervik from archilelago region short after we started gz? The town in the distance on the other side of the water. Who else thought: wow, I want to get there soon?

I remember this too, beeing trapped in a building surrounded by hunters with no way out, running low on medkits. Fights were epic lol

I still have nightmares of some of those situations in mountains region.
At one moment it’s silent while you walk through the woods, in the next moment it was hell with an endless stream of hunters. It’s dark, it’s cold, and suddenly everywhere were red lights, shots and gas.
And while you tried to hide in a house or to shoot them through the windows you constantly ran out of ammo and med kits. And they kept coming…
