Is it possible to change max draw distance?

[Falling]

I am really sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find a thread on the matter so here goes.

Is there a way to reduce the max draw distance of the game? Seeing as my laptop can't really handle anything but low graphics, this "retail" version shipping without a slider to adjust draw distance makes the game unplayable for me...

Is it possible to reduce it to minimum? and is there a list somewhere of how to set everything to minimum? Only seem to find ways to set stuff to max...

In the client, atm, there is not the option.

That said -- you can work on trying to modify the option via the .INI file in your program files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\ and so on until you fine the .ini with graphics settings.

I have one called 'defaults.ini'.

But here are settings you can ADD and adjust :

[Renderer]

Height = 1200

Width = 1920

WindowX = 0

WindowY = 0

DynamicLightsLimit = 2

MeshLODQuality = 1

TextureAnisotropy = 16

FarClipScale = 3.9371195

PlantDensity = 150

D3DFullScreen = true

NativeHeight = 1200

NativeWidth = 1920

doShadows = true

doBlobShadows = true

UseMinSpecShaders = false

EnableBloom = true

VerticalSyncState = true

FullScreen = true

TextureQuality = 0

AllowDepthOfField = true

GammaRamp = 1.037854

SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 1.25

The Farclip Scale may help you here.. I haven't, personally, changed this setting.

Lowering resolution WILL help with FPS, turning off shadows, and so on will as well.

Good luck.

Seeing as I have everything ingame on low or 0, that's all fine.

I basically need to know if there is a line I can enter into the .ini file, which makes the draw distance of the game, lower, so that it only renders the environment close to me, and puts the stuff further away fogged out.

As I said, the only thing that MAY work is Farclip scale, in above post.

Otherwise, they have not implemented a Line of Sight rendering distance modification 'yet'.

Silly, but true.

Ok Sucks that they removed one of the most important settings when it comes to shitty computers... It was there in the beta client, so was hoping for a .ini temp fix seeing as I can't seem to get the Farclip one to work Thanks anyway


And to clarify, the slider was apparently called "Clip Distance". Really, if someone figures out how to do this, please say so :<
