Can you reduce draw distance in 1.011?

[King Allant]

Sup guys, I just wanted to know if there was anyway to reduce the draw distance in 1.011.

My computer is TERRIBLE, even with every thing on low/DX7 with the resolution set to 640X480 I can only get 20fps in combat.

I have to set my battle size as low at it can go so that it can at least stay at 20fps. I think if I I could turn down my draw distance I could get better fps. When ever I'm indoors or I look towards the ground in combat my fps leaps to 40, 50 or even 60+ fps.

Despite all of this I'm enjoying the game A LOT. I've barely slept over the weekend. It's damn near everything I could want out of a  game.

I hope you guys can help.

I typed this in a hurry so be gentle.

No, there is a mod that removes trees, and some other things, that improve FPS.

Thank you... So much!

I'll go try out those mods, bro. You guys will be seeing me around a lot.

Not a problem, good luck and have fun.

The other mods seem to work but I can't get the actual draw distance mod to work.

I'm using dx7 if that means anything.

edit: Will installing the dx7 mod make dx7 run better or just look prettier?

The dx7 mod won't improve performance, it just fixes some of the graphical bugs when using dx7 mode.

Try opening the mb.fx file from the draw distance mod with notepad and checking the settings.

I screwed around with the setting and didn't get any results.


I'm trying to using it with the native expansion mod.

Did you end up installing the unofficial Dx7 patch? Could be a conflict between the changes to the shaders.

Other than that I'm all out of ideas, sorry.

Edit:
Ah.
The draw distance mod only works in Dx9 mode. Sorry, pretty big oversight on my part.

I think I got it to work.
