I currently found what I believe is either due to my options being turned down, or something that Overwatch has setup internally for what we will consider 'balance' - Just a few minutes ago I spawned on the edge of what myself and others have come to refer to as "Gay Forest" or the rather colorful forest directly North of Stary. Upon spawning there was a crash infront of me, and I seen no zeds to signal a player there until I walked to the literal edge of the forest (315m~ from crash) before they appeared.
Now just to make this clear they didnt SPAWN, they just straight up appeared, one by one and I am in a VERY bad spot if this 'problem' I found isnt server side. Anyhow they appeared and were already walking in my direction a good 50m+ from the chopper - this is where I decided to just bail as they wernt my spawns which puts a player fairly close to me.
I did end up finding and killing him, and snagged a Rangefinder - which I then used to quickly test something. In Overwatch the zombies do not appear until we'll say around 300m or less - and same with certain floral types disappearing around 400m. Now my biggest concern is; Is this intended via server settings/Internal Overwatch Option, or is there an option I need to boost to 'fix' not being able to register zeds very far? If the later, this goes back to old DayZ and the strongest PC wins debate going to fire up all over again.
Anyhow, heres a few quick screencaps I snagged before being fired at again and running away like a little school girl.

Zed Distance = 370m (Moving Towards me) -

Got same results in First Person as well.

I havnt tried to see exactly the distances these events happen due to high population at the time, though will likely hop back on to a sub10 player server and try to get some exact numbers on things disappearing.


Okay, so figured out ZOMBIES disappear exactly at 300m, and Animals at 240-250m.
