On some maps, render distance is built into the bsp's worldspawn flags, and can't be fixed without recompiling. If you mean the PVS-style map disappearing thing, where you're looking at another VIS node that shouldn't be rendered due to hints or some such magic, set these:

Code: Select all

r_noCull "1"
r_facePlaneCull "0"
r_noVIS "1"


Cheats need to be enabled, so it can't be done online. Unless cheats are enabled.

It doesn't fix every single situation, but I don't really know why the situations that it doesn't fix aren't fixed. They are rare though. You can render the entirety of av-df, rustgrad, and a few other maps I've tested. Some maps can really tank your FPS though.
