whenever i try to put my view distance scale any lower then 100% it puts it on 50% as soon as the game starts. So its either 100% or 50%.

Not sure,but it could be the PR launcher forcing a video setting.Although if your view distance is going to be at anything, it should be 100%,you'll need it there for any long range combat in PR,as it dictates how far away things render in the game. if you need to reduce video settings for performance,try changing others,but I suggest leaving the view distance scale at 100% no matter what,or you'll be getting shot by things you can't even see that can clearly see you.

If i can boost my FPS a bit by reducing the view distance 10-15% i rather have that than to keep it for the few times i use it to scan or engage at the max view distance.

Yes heldro, everyone agrees on that, will be changed as AncientMan finds time to edit his code.

any news on that? as you can see here ive got an equal problem:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr ... ing-4.html
as running in windowed mode also doesnt work i tried to lower the viewing distance. at this point i figured out, that i couldnt lower it (to the recommended 70%). If i lower it, hit apply, close the options and reopen them again its switched back to 100%. couldnt get it lower.
there might be a connection to some other problems i got with PR. Its still unplayable for me :/
