viewdistance is fixed

[zoog 18]

Since about 10 days my viewdistance setting doesn't work, it's fixed at a viewdistance of about 300m (popup of trees). First I thought it was the recent beta release, but it turns out it also happens with the regular 1.4 patch. It happens without using any mods. It suddenly appeared, I didn't update anything before it started happening.

No matter what viewdistance I choose, it doesn't change in-game or update it.

Is this a familiar problem?

Use the following system (which worked perfectly before):

Win 7 64bit RC

Phenom II x4 3.2Ghz

Sapphire HD4890 1GB

4GB DDR3

Is every setting fixed? If so, your user profile may be read-only...simply uncheck that box in the properties tab.
