Textscreens only visible at certain angles.
Always loved the addon, however, on the server, I can only view the textscreen at certain angles? I've tried the ss_render_range but it's not worked at all.

Here's the issue:

Thanks for the report!

It looks like the model is being "blocked" by something in front of your viewport, which is causing the textscreen not to render. This has unfortunately been a known issue since pretty much the inception of this addon due to how we render: https://github.com/Cherry/3D2D-Textscreens/issues/15

There's an invisible prop that the text is drawn on top of, and if that prop is obstructed in view, it won't be drawn. This is for a lot of performance reasons more than anything else. There is technically a workaround but it comes at the cost of performance which is why I've never implemented it.

I don't think this is something I'm going to change at this point to be honest, sorry. If there's a solution I'm not aware of, I'd welcome a PR at https://github.com/Cherry/3D2D-Textscreens, but I don't think is solvable without negatively impacting performance.
