Annoyingly Low Render Distance

Hello,

 

I'm not sure if this is a game problem or not, but whenever I play Skyrim and wander into the outdoors, I always find that not so distant terrain appears as blank ground, with grass or detail etc. I've got a Leadtek Winfast Overclocked GTX 560, and the settings are set to Ultra, with full anti-aliasing ect. I'm using a patch called Antifreeze Patch 9 by Boris Vorontsov which apparently improves frame rates slightly. Since the 1.4 patch, the game runs flawlessly and is beautiful indoors, but everything is spoiled outside. Is there any way to max out render distance? Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Gaah, It wasn't much of a problem in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, as most of the outdoor world was barren wasteland anyway, but this really irritated me in Oblivion, and now in Skyrim too. Especially because I'm playing it on the 360, and have no reliable way to change the game codes. We'll just have to hope for a patch-update that deals with it, even if none were released for any of the other games. Edited by ThomasBlaine

Editing your Skyrim.ini file found in your games folders (the one in the user's folder, not programs folder, and not the SkyrimPref.ini, just Skyrim.ini).

Change the following value or add these lines if they aren't already there:

[General]

uExterior Cell Buffer=64

uGridsToLoad=7

 

For more info on how this works and why, as well as screenshots before and after, see:
