Restore Elden Ring's LOD/Drawing/Shadow distance, closer to what was shown, pre-release..
[Preamble] 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.
[Install] Backup your existing regulation.bin. Place the lod regulation.bin into your \steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game.. folder.
[Uninstall] Remove the modded regulation.bin / move the original regulation.bin back into \steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game folder.
[Optional Files] [Merge with existing regulation.bin] 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.
