Alpha to Coverage settings can be abused
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

Similar to FOV slider abuse, turning alpha to coverage to 'disabled' or to 'Arrowhead trees and grass' essentially takes the half of pine trees away, making it much easier to find hidden camp items and people hiding in trees.

Steps To Reproduce

Adjust Alpha to Coverage settings, the detail of the terrain or objects are irrelevant. This doesn't affect performance much, if at all.

Additional Information

I'm making this private to KEEP people from abusing this, I believe it's an unfair advantage for people who don't desire a good looking game.
