Question on player map

[Knoxvilles_joker]

Is there a way to force the map to be fully uncovered for all users from the start of the game?

No. At least, not without a mod. And I'm not sure if a mod exists for that.

The biggest complaint I have had for console users is the constantly disappearing uncovered map areas. Were it to be compeltely uncovered it would fix somethings.

This is a limit set in the server config. For consoles they may have a local forced limit that overrides that due to the very limited storage allowed.

MaxUncoveredMapChunksPerPlayer is the setting in the dedi config. The default of 131072 allows 32 km² can be uncovered. Once that max is reached, then it removes the oldest visited areas. Be aware that increasing this will have a negative impact on sync times when players are connecting to the server, and may cause problems for low-end hardware.

Dedicated server config settings differ from the console settings. I guess the next question is what is the max supported on consoles.
