I raised the view distance a little and the game became unplayable

Seeing a bit farther sounds cheap, but the work and memory grow much faster than the distance does. This entry lets your AI work out how many areas are really loaded for a given distance, and what the largest setting is that your budget allows.

Why this works

Loaded area grows with the square of the distance. Knowing the count and the cost per step lets you choose a setting by arithmetic rather than by trial and a frozen game.

When not to use it

Do not use it for games that load fixed levels instead of an endless world; there, memory is set by the level, not by the player's view.
