Setting /vis_scale to 4.0 or higher values may not be wise on older hardware. Setting vis_scale to 3 or higher renders almost every object in the zone at once (but not every detail of every object). Your frame rate may be very low and this can make it tricky to reduce vis_scale again.

Slash Command

/vis_scale [0.5-20.0]

Controls the distance at which world details are rendered.

  • Default = 1.0 (100%)
  • This command alters the World Detail setting in Options--> Graphics and Audio tab--> Advanced Graphics Settings.
  • The World Detail setting in the Options window limits the world detail to between 50% (0.5) to 200% (2.0). The /vis_scale command allows you to increase the scale beyond the conventional limits, up to 2000% (20.0).
  • Any World Detail setting greater than 2.0 will currently not be saved and will revert to 2.0 upon restarting the game client or opening the Graphics and Audio tab in Options. However, the setting appears to be retained if merely quitting to the character select window to choose another character.


Command Line Parameter

Any setting, including those above 2.0, can be made more or less permanent by running the command automatically at log-in as a command line parameter. For example, -vis_scale 5
