📋 About This Mod
Restore Elden Ring's LOD/Drawing/Shadow distance, closer to what was shown, pre-release..
This is a proof of concept. It works fine but needs time and tweaking further to optimize where is most needed. This will obviously have a performance impact, depending on your system.
Also, this is editing the regulation file. Recommended for offline.
See https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Elden_Ring for info on playing the game from the eldenring.exe directly, for improved performance.
I am essentially sharing here so that others can also be aware and also be looking into.
Backup your existing regulation.bin.
Place the lod regulation.bin into your \steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game.. folder.
Remove the modded regulation.bin / move the original regulation.bin back into \steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game folder.
I have included separately the csv to import, if you have the needed tools.
These can also be used as a reference for what has been changed.
