This has gotten a bit out of hand... We are absolutely not going to automate draw distance.
This got started as a speculative discussion that forked off of the draw distance slider in which I asked whether or not it might be possible to create a system that _if_explicitly_requested_, some smart software could look at what factors in a users configuration might be changed to improve FPS and advise the user on changes that might improve performance. While DD might be one such parameter, the system I asked about would not be an interesting contribution at all if it were the only factor, and I never envisioned a system that would actually change anything automatically - it would inform and educate the user as to what settings changes might be made to improve performance. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
