Increased Draw Distance

Increased Draw Distance

Changed every Draw Distance Scale End and Shadow Draw Distance Scale End to 1. Should make every entry in LoadBalancerNewDrawDistScaleParam_win64 always visible or at least stop them from going invisible/semi-visible or changing lods too soon.

Based on my findings while testing Increased Draw Distance for Enemies and NPCs (Former True Invisible Enemies and NPCs Bug Fix) and Performance Boost For Potato PC. (Plus guides and more), it loooks like the value 1 makes things always visible. Enemies and NPCs were invisible on previous versions of the game cause they were using 0, where 0 means don’t draw/render.

Some entries like Big Trees and Small Bushes are using 0.5 or 0.8, so that means that after a certain distance their models will change to lower lods or stop rendering/drawing.

The Max Draw Distance variant is highly experimental. Apart from maxing out everything in LoadBalancerNewDrawDistScaleParam_win64, I’ve also maxed out the values in PartsDrawParam. There’s definitely a difference (most noticeable on shadows and trees). But I’ve lost 30 frames lol. I’m playing on a potato tho (3200g radeon 8 with 16gbs of ram).
