I did some research and found THISthis
If you go to about page 4 you will find this post:
Great news lads! :P
I've managed to decrease draw distance... And I will show you how to do it in few simple steps!
Go to (for example on Windows 7, installed on drive C:): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings
(Replace <username>
with yours)
In "settings" folder you will find a file called client_settings.ini
—right click on it and select "Open with", then "Notepad"
My file looks like this:

My file looks like this:

MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old RepublicSo... Now u have to find "PlantDensity", in your "client_settings.ini", and INSERT
Code:Republic
Now find PlantDensity
, in your client_settings.ini
, and INSERT
FarClipScale = 0.3371195ABOVE "PlantDensity".
(You can also try 0.1371195 or 0.5371195, but I know that 0.3371195 works perfectly for me!)
Don't FORGET to SAVE your "client_settings.ini" after u add "FarClipScale = 0.3371195".
After you've done that, close your "client_settings.ini" and right click on it - > Properties. On the bottom of Properties window you'll see a check box "Read-only". Check it! Now you should be ready to play!
I hope this helps! "
This appears to be a fix for increasingABOVE PlantDensity
on its own line. (You can also try 0.1371195 or decreasing your draw distance0. A little research and trial and error may have to be done to ensure you have the right setting number entered5371195, but this seemsI know that 0.3371195 works perfectly for me!)
Don't FORGET to be an effective fixSAVE your client_settings.ini

After you've done that, close your client_settings.ini

This appears to be a fix for increasing or decreasing your draw distance. A little research and trial and error may have to be done to ensure you have the right setting number entered, but this seems to be an effective fix. I am not home so I cannot try it myself.
Also make sure you are displaying hidden folders, because APPdataAppData is a hidden folder.
