    I have a 90 bucks GPU and no performance issues with draw distance.

    I am aware that the engine is poorly optimized but adding config options for people with ass old hardware is going too far.

    What's wrong with adding more options? They already did it once. Oh, I guess they went "too far" then too.

    Apparently making the game playable on a wider range of computers isn't a good thing for the game.

    I agree with this suggestion. I also would like to add that they axe the out of game configuration tool altogether and make it accessible within the game. It's annoying to fine tune your settings when you need to keep exiting out of the game.

    There has to be a limit. If he wants to play the game on a 4 years old computer he should at least try the lowest settings, not go to draw quality 6 then whine that his framerate is too low.

    Look, I'm trying to make the game look as good as possible without making it look like I'm on a funky old PlayStation 2, which is what the gfx look like when you lower the settings too much. Futhermore, this computer is only 1 & a half years old.
