This has never happened before the latest update, the further away from the mobs I am, the less visible the nameplates are. If the body of the enemy is not visible their nameplate will also fade out really heavily. Thats. Pretty bad. http://prntscr.com/m3g8gu Comparison of closer and further away target. http://prntscr.com/m3g8y0 Completely different alphas for the nameplates of the same mob type but in different range away from me. If this is a feature revert it or let me turn it off, because frankly I can't find any option to deal with it. Cheers mate.

I assume you found the options?

I simplified how KNP draws on nameplates, which leads to some of the game's built-in behaviour being inherited.
If I disable that behaviour automatically, it would stay disabled even if KNP was removed.
So I use the "allow knp to modify cvars" option to 'ask for permission.'

It's a change from the old behaviour (although if you hadn't been using KNP you'd have encountered it before) so I tried to make it clear without putting messages in chat (which usually get missed anyway) or other such intrusive things.

I did in fact find the options of the addon after a bit of digging. I'd assume an option like this would be inserted into the fade rules tab of the addon, but since I've found it and tackled this option I have decided to close the topic.
