Setting the client view in code does change it still for anyone wondering.
Out of curiosity, why would you set both world.view and client.view at compile time? Are you setting world.view as a means of controlling the range of step_to() or something?
In the game feed, I limit the world view to 1 to save cpu and just use the client.view and write my own get view/range/oview code using block. Little handy trick I started using for pixel games.
Bump.

I did some messing around with world.view and client.view. It seems regardless of the number, client.view defaults to world.view.

A workaround is setting client.view under client/New().
Oh thanks a bunch I didnt try that. Now I can move forward with byond updates it was the only thing holding me back.

Bumpage, still happening, annoying.
I'll put this on my 510 look-at list to see if I can get it dealt with soon.
