In this guide, we’ll explain how you can skip intro videos, disable film grain, improve mouse input responsiveness, and increase the LoD distance in Days Gone.

How To Increase The LoD Distance In Days Gone?
LoD (Level of Detail) determines how far the game has to render in-game objects in a certain environment.

Unfortunately, Bend Studio doesn’t let you do that. However, there’s an alternative to this!
- Press WIN + R on your keyboard or open Run from the Start menu on your desktop.
- Once opened, type in %LOCALAPPDATA% and press ENTER. This will open the Local folder in the AppData folder on your PC.
