I kept my old useropts, didn't change my game settings at all and a lot of my effects aren't there anymore. Just like your problem, could it possibly be your rig? Mine chokes even at 1.25, so I made my own "1.1" setting. But it never seemed to be related to my useropts.
Well then it could conceivably be an ATI-specific problem then, huh. That stinks. I had to drop down to the 1.25 configs because they seem to display the effects most frequently while still giving me half decent draw distances. I wish I could go higher, but I do like all those effects too.
I think I've narrowed it down to these three settings:
dl_sid_prefetchradius
dl_sidi_prefetchradius
dl_nav_prefetchradius
When I drop these three settings down, my effects appear more frequently, but things stop being drawn further out. The fog is still way out there, but it looks as if bridges and buildings have just been sliced in half with a knife!Hmm,,, ill have to mess with those 3 and see if i have any similarities. Like Pylat, I also am ATi. I have a new rig with two of the Radeon HD 3870's (oc edition, with 1gb of GDDR3, runs on DX 10.1 tech, with shader model 4.1, etc) on a new CrossfireX motherboard with two of the newer PCI.e 2 (X16) lanes, with a CrossFireX bridge, to totally complete the Quad-GPU's connection. 8GB's dual channel DDR2 (four 2gb ddr2 dual channel nvidia SLI sticks) ....*gasp! , sorry, i 4got to breathe!* Well anyway, its not done yet, I'm waiting on finding a couple specific parts that i want, instead of finishing it with any old part(s)... dont wanna spend the money on something im just gonna replace soon -ya know? Too bad this Rig i've been typing about here wont enhance MxO much, if any. =( sorry, kinda got excited thinking about the completed project. It will be by far the most enhanced Rig i have ever made. As long as Pylat has the same Radeon 3870 version that mine are, im sure he'd understand. rofl

THE GODDESSES of useropts ALL HAIL!!! nice to see such lovely ladies back in the simulation.
