Customizable minimum chunk-render distance for StreamingEnabled

Example:

• Join this game Pilgrim Islands Reborn - Roblox
• Pick a team
• Spawn a boat and sail around
• Hit walls as they load, even if your connection, graphics settings, hardware specs are high.
• Read the comments

Great… Now that half of sealand is destroyed especially where I built I have to delete that file. MOST OF MY FILES ARE ON SEALAND. Great. Just Great.

@Malin, I can sympathise with this. Sometimes I run straight into un-rendered cliff-faces when I’m using a slide-model vehicle.

I’m slightly more annoyed about the chunk system. I didn’t even know I was sailing in front of a massive castle, until I nearly ran into it. I see the point in it, but increase the render range

Question for smart game devs:

• In the meantime, can I work around this problem by using low-brick-count models of islands?
• They would have to be positioned still within ~50 studs, but constantly be repositioned and resized with a 3D gui positioner, right? Or is there a better way to signify an unrendered island is 100 studs away?

Could you make that brighter? I couldn’t easily tell what you were trying to demonstrate, other than fancy text

Streaming has always been bad It’s not uncommon to fall through the map because your spawn area didn’t load due to streaming.

Heh well my game floats you to around 135 y with a bodyposition if you get too low. Thank you for reporting that falling through the map issue though, because I might not’ve noticed that until too late if I were to enable streaming in a different oceanless place.

You say that you have your place split into different areas (e.g. the ocean, the highland, etc) – have you though about subdividing those areas into chunks and doing a custom streaming thing? If your game is FE, that shouldn’t be very difficult to do.
