View distance does nothing whatsoever!!!

[isone]

tried changing the view distance to zero.... did nothing at all. literally no change. didnt speed up my game whatsoever. not the tiniest bit of effect. restarted the game to see if it would do anything but nope.. not a thing.. why doesnt view distance work for me? i've tried it on a few different computers with the exact same result... nothing... is this a bug? or did they never implement the ability to change the view distance at all? what's going on? i dont understand. i can turn water reflections off with a tiny bit of performance increase but view distance has no effect whatsoever.. why?

View distance works. I don't really understand why it doesn't work for you, but I do know it works....

View distance should only affect the objects in this game. But your actual view distance as in ground is still the same.

As Red said its only for objects, so for example if u see a mountain for away and dont wanna see it either because for some it lags if so many things are on screen at once, or just plainly u dont want to see it. Then u change ur view distance. Its more of a Lag deter then anything

no.. it literally does nothing at all.. i can see things far away just as if i had max view distance.. it does literally nothing whatsoever. no performance increase at all there is really not a zip of a change for me. i tried changing view distance from max to zero and literally nothing happened.. even when i restarted the game.. it did absolutely nothing

[Redlinelies]

The performance boost isn't that great unless it's a map completely filled with objects.

Also keep in mind, if an object is placed within the map and has the "Object Is Big" marked to it, they will not be affected if you lower the view distance. Only small objects will disappear as you lower the view distance.

well I can't even get on the plains.. and it has no effect in cape or ficho caverns whatsoever. even the small objects appear perfectly clearly to where they're just a spec on the screen i can still see them with zero view distance. it doesnt do anything at all. even in bonfire island which i only gotten onto once magically somehow had no effect when i changed the view distance it still lagged at like 1-5FPS and cape of distant worlds lags like no other. its about the same as bonfire. temple of dreams lags like nuts too but its a tiny bit faster. and ficho caverns is mostly perfectly smooth.. ficho tunnel is even worse than bonfire and just like before. view distance has literally no visual or performance effect at all doesnt change the framerate by 0.1FPS is it because i dont have a graphics card as new and as powerful as the nvidia tesla or something? 3:

Try downloading and using game booster ~ Might help you

[isone]

lol im using linux that's not gonna do a thing

[Ouuka]

Then theres nothing really to do to fix it, update ur graphics card or better computer if this one cant handle all the stuff :/
