Turned on player ESP near a town and the screen turned into spaghetti — boxes, skeletons, nicknames, drones, everything at max render distance.
How are you trimming player ESP so it stays readable without turning half the module off? Especially at night when contrast is already bad.
Render distance cap is the first knob — I run 150–200m in open fields, lower in cities. Skeleton off unless I am actively hunting someone I already spotted.
Items-in-hand is useful; drone ESP is situational. If you are not fighting squads with drones, disable it and reclaim screen space.
Pair player ESP with item ESP battle mode when looting — fewer ground labels while players stay visible. Stops the double clutter problem in warehouses.
Nickname tags only inside 80m for me. Beyond that a box is enough warning.
Player ESP supports boxes, skeleton, nickname, held items, drones, and a render distance slider. Start minimal: boxes + nickname + 175m cap.
NPC ESP is separate — puppets and animals do not need to share the same distance as players. Splitting NPC render lower keeps towns readable.
Color/contrast is personal but I avoid pure neon on night maps — burns retinas. If the menu exposes opacity, dial it back.
When rotating between POIs I temporarily drop render to 100m. Widen again when crossing open ground. Two hotkey profiles beats one mega filter.
Forgot drones were optional — disabling them cleaned up half my HUD near airfield fights.
175m cap, skeleton off, drones off, nicknames under 80m. Readable finally. Saving as "town-loot" profile.
