People lowering graphics to get an unfair advantage over someone playing with all vegetation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

So i've noticed a few people i've been playing with being able to see more things/people than me. A few finally confessed and said to turn off trees and grass. This is really unfair advantage to someone who wants to play at max graphics settings imo. there has to be a way for the server to specify a minimum graphic setting.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Turn off trees and grass.
  2. See everyone hiding in vegetation.
  3. Kill everyone who can't see u.
Additional Information

Seems like one of the easiest fixes is to make it up to the server owner whether players can play on minimum settings or have to have a certain graphics setting to be allowed to play on a server. I understand some people's hardware can't handle all the graphics but to someone who wants to play the game in all its glory, its an unfair advantage.
