I did some research and found THIS
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:
(this is on Windows 7, installed on C: drive :P )
C:\Users\<computer name>\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings
Replace <computer name> with your windows username!
in "settings" folder you will find a file called "client_settings.ini" - right click on it and select "Open with > Notepad"
My file looks like this:
Code:
[Renderer]
D3DFullScreen = true
EnableBloom = false
Height = 768
NativeHeight = 1024
NativeWidth = 1280
RefreshRate = 85
TextureQuality = 1
UseMinSpecShaders = true
VerticalSyncState = true
Width = 1024
WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0
FarClipScale = 0.3371195
PlantDensity = 14
SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 0.82336956
AllowDepthOfField = false
doShadows = false
doBlobShadows = false
[Game]
MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old RepublicSo... Now u have to find "PlantDensity", in your "client_settings.ini", and INSERT
Code:
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 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.
