Then you'll be automatically able to view maximum view distance, and more... for most games.
Messing around with the game files really includes knowing what other criteria your computer needs to have. In other words, it can bork up your game if you change stuff that your computer cannot handle.
Okay, part bragging / part explaining; that it is better to upgrade your computer's components to handle the best settings, than to try to force a low powered computer to handle something that it isn't really suited to manage..( sorry if this applies to you, congrats if not! )
You can however find certain guides and tutorials, here on Steam, or youtube / google, that might have a way of...optimising your visuals... certain mods also might help.. I know what you mean though. This game is also pretty old by today's standards, and the tech wasn't designed for what we're acustomed to today :P
I think it is a case of the game design at time of tech evolution that might be the issue...and here we find ourselves at your predicament..Yes, but just bear in mind, to back up your .ini file BEFORE you try tweaking anything. Then, if it does go balls up, you can re instate the back up .ini
:D
Did they use ugrids in the Morrowind build? If so, find this and up the value :3
You just need to understand that this is somewhat unorthodox practice... and so, if you do run into problems, you have your back up .ini <wink>
I know no fear...for the Emperor protects, vile alien!

*gets impaled by flesh hooks* Awh :(
Thats right, originally this series was PC only, and it was quite common that newly released games would at best play at halve performance on a brand new 3000 euro gaming rig.
It would take such high end gamers at least a year after release, wait for technological progress to catch up, and THAN pay those 3000 euro, to be able to do that, for the rest it was an even longer wait.
That was also why there was a much longer time between the original game, and it's expantion packs than we see today : 9-15 months between the vanilla game and it's first expantion pack, and oneother 6-12 months for the 2d, and sometimes even 6-9 months after that for a third, was no exeption, but the rule.
You didn't buy your games digitally, you bought them retail, and in such retail shops you saw at best 1 small corner for all console platforms combined.
Gaming was the PC's empire, pure and simple.
Such retail games back in the days also had no rotten steam forced upon you, nor other such means of limiting your rights, just a simple instalation code, alowing you full freedom to later sell or lend this disk to friends.
To be able to game, you had to bring out a lot more cash than today is the case, because games were pushing pc power to it's limit's, that was why games were one platform only, and most of the time that ment PC.
To give you the idea :
This are the amounts of money you had to cough up to join the gaming community on a gaming rig in those days.
And a gaming rig here means just whats in the casing, not your imput-devices (like your keyboard), not your output devices (as your monitor) and not including any money for software (like windows)
LOW-end : 1 new rig of 800-1200 euro's every 3 year, (and after that it was just trashed)
Or put differently 300-400 euro's every year, on your rig alone.
When you just bought it, you may be able to play SOME games that arived 9-12 months ago, at minimal settings, but mostly you would be playing games of 12-36 months old, at minimal settings. Games older than 3 years you may be able to run on medium settings, any maximum settings you could just forget.
And playing any games released after you bought this rig you also can just forget, have to wait at least 3 years for that,
MEDIUM-end : 1 new rig of 1200-1800 euro's every 3 years (and after that also trash it)
Or put differently 400-600 euro's every year, on your rig alone.
When you just bought this you were able to play the latest games, be it though at low settings, and maybe even the games that will be launched in the next 6 months at low settings, but after that your luck was out.
Games of over 1 year old, you would run at medium settings, and games of over 2 years old you might be able to run at medium, but high setttings was out of your reach.
HIGH-end : 1 new rig of 1800-2400 euro's every 3 years (and after that also trash it)
Or put differently 600-800 euro's every year, on your rig alone.
When you just bought this, you were able to play the latest games, at medium settings, as well as most games that would arive for the next 6 months, and the games that would arive the 12 months after that at minimal settings.
You might even be able to play games of over 2 years old at high settings, and games over 4 years old at max settings
MASTER-end : 1 new righ of 2400-3000 euro's every 3 years (and after that also trash it)
Or put differently 800-1000 euro's every year, on your rig alone
When you just bought this, you were able to play the latest games, at high settings, and you would be able to play all games that will arive in the 2-2.5 years after this, in decreasing settings.
Games of over 1 year old you could run at max settings.
Oh there was internet, actually Morrowind was one of the first games to have downloadable content, called "official mods" but those you just downloaded, and pasted copied in your game folders, and it was free.
It also had an inbuild link to PES, where you could upload and download mods.
(but still had to copy-paste them yourself in your game folder)
Oh how I miss those days, when will gaming finally return to those days, as THAT was gaming as it should be!
