Distant land

Post by VongolaIV »

I've tried to edit the settings-default.cfg to enable distant land in openmw 0.43 and nothing changed.

Code: Select all

# WARNING: If this file is named settings-default.cfg, then editing

Also increase viewing distance from 6666 to like 666666.

Also note what's written in the header - it's better to make changes to your settings.cfg file rather than settings-default.cfg.
