Hi Ive had this problem from start to finish and its always bugged me. On all the outdoor environments I can see the low level vegetation (grass, bushes) spawning about 10m infront of me. This really gets on my nerves because the awesome graphics and detail creates a realy imersive and convincing environment but the fact that I can see it spawning before my very eyes kinda takes away some of the realisme.

I have a pretty decent computer that is more than capable of running farcy (and doom3) at max eye candy at 1280x1024 with 16x AF (and 4x AA though I dont need it)

All I wish to know is this, does anyone know of a way to increase the "draw distance" of the low level vegetation. Ive had a good look in the farcry configuration menu and played around with the advanced environmental quality settings but with no success http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif So any ideas would be most welcome.

My Rig:
AMD Athlon 3200+ Barton (OCed - 2.4Ghz) CPU
1Gb of PC3500 Geil Ultra RAM (OCed - 440Mhz)
XFX Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb VGA (Oced - 425 core, 1.20Ghz RAM)
Abit AN7 MOBO
Onboard Nvidia 5.1 APU
Tagan 480Watt PSU
Maxtor 120Gb SATA HDD
ASUS 16x DVD
Hitachi 48x CD-R

Windows Professional SP2, DirectX 9.0c, Latest Nvidia Drivers ect....
