imperistan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Anyone making headway with this? The absolutely pitiful draw distance has to be the only thing (besides how water works, which I can ignore) I don't like about Skyrim's graphics. I imagine there will eventually be a graphics extender (which I would also think would have such a feature to extend the draw distances) so I wonder how far that's off, and generally just what anyone else might be doing to this effect outside of that.

Anya29 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Do you know about the line uGridsToLoad in skyprefs? I have mine set at 7 but it can be more, however increasing the ugrid number and saving a game you cannot go back to an earlier save game using less ugrids. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/549784-annoyingly-low-render-distance/page__p__4472192__hl__ugridstoload__fromsearch__1#entry4472192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anya29 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yep, forgot about that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectVRD Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have tried that process to go back a few times, it hasn't worked for me. I might be doing something wrong but I went through the instructions each time so I am not sure it is 100% foolproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectVRD Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So is there word of anyone who is actually looking at this uGrids thing to make it more stable, extend outwards further and make it easier to revert back from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrollTron1c Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Seems like you have tweaked the FoV, which makes the view distance seem like half of what it is with default FoV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
