But then why render 18 miles away? That's what I'm also puzzled about. You can barely see anything past 8 miles. Why not reduce it to 10 miles?
you are just arguing for the sake of arguing now. get up in any airplane up to 20 or 30k then look at the horizon. then try to imaging what the game would look like if it would only render to 10 miles.
and btw the reason you can barely see past 10 miles is that you have a low end processor matched with a low end video card. if and when you invest in something newer then you will see why 18 miles rendering is good.
I think this thread should be locked as you just keep on repeating yourself. you will never admit that the reason the game doesnt look good for you is basically your computer. what you should be concered with is why your computer doesnt look as good as others, instead of others are having problems. like I said before, if there was a big problem with the game then it would affect all of us and not just a few. but until you understand why your computer cant play with 8196 shadows then it doesnt matter what everybody tells you.
