Title: Mafia 2 Draw Distance
Post by: japalax on May 09, 2012, 12:12:24 AM
I'm Thinking of buying Mafia 2 after trying the demo, but I then noticed the horrible draw distance, is there a way to increase draw distance?

I don't think draw distance is the problem... I think it's more about the LOD since the city is noticeably low poly when looking at it in Hillwood, maybe someday when computers get fast enough(and possible) we can replace all of the lower LOD models with the higher poly models or just remove them.

The LOD called by the game engine appears to vary, some times there is a high quality model that is at work and with some missions like the one i am studying now, on top of the skyscraper to blow up the rival gang, the city below is distinctly low poly. It would be interesting to try to experiment with that but the engine is different from Mafia I so i dont know what is possible. As far as i have heard there isn't any way to change the draw distance but i welcome being corrected on that, It sure made a difference for Mafia I  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png" alt="(//smile.gif)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
