Description

No idea how much extra network strain this will cause, but it does improve the viewing experience from a birds eye view so I would like to test it. While the cost of this feature isn't yet known I've added a convar sv_neo_pvs_cull_roaming_observers for toggling it, but I think it would be better if this was either permanently on or removed down the line.
