Have to manually adjust increased view distance every game?

[Venkman]

Seems like in order to keep view distance at maximum (my 1080ti can handle it) I have to manually adjust it back to max every time I load in.

Is this just the way it is for now? Have to do it manually? Thank you

Specify your preferences via a custom cfg file.

You're looking for stuff like

sys_spec_ObjectDetail
Sets the overall quality of most objects. This will change the distance and detail at which objects render. Major impact on performance.

e_LodRatio
LOD distance ratio for objects. By increasing this value objects will look better from further away.

etc.

I'm pretty sure that there is (was) a setting for max view/draw distance as well but didn't see it in the cfg guide and can't remember where I saw it. Been a while.

Edit:

Found it in an older cfg file.

_maxviewdistance
r_terrainMaxViewDistance

but doesnt it mean if its not a whitelisted command in the cfg guide then adding it to a config file it wont make any difference anyway (being as its not whitelisted - therefore blocked)?

I seem to have the same issue - my view distance keeps resetting to default - everything else stays set

We are working on more complete video/ game settings menu so you'll not have to do this manuall method. No ETA though

@oochy_coo tbh I'm not sure. I think it used to work but that was many moons ago. Perhaps FullOUt or Coral have more info on those parameters.
