Minecraft Bedrock for PC, recent update/beta has reduced render distance

I have a fairly high end laptop, I usually am able to run the game with the render distance maxed out without problems and while in The End it is very helpful.

However the recent beta update has reduced the render distance from 70-72ish to only 40, that is nearly half the render distanced taken away. the video tab for changing the render distance caps at 40 chunks.

I understand that other users may not have high end laptops or may being using  budget PC's but render distance should not reduced/ taken away from those who can use it just because others cant.

 

additionally while in The End, after defeating the ender dragon, the end city areas are not able to load in because they are too far away and the render distance has been chopped.

I hope in the future there is an option, or video setting preset, that allows users to change the render distance without having to worry about reduction in updates.IE low settings would reduce the render distance to very short, while a very high setting would cap the distance at 70 perhaps.

Still love the game though.

  There official "reason" that 40 chunks render distance could cause a low framerate is a extremely big lye for every owner from a newer gaming PC! To have such a high render distance was one of the reasons to play Bedrock insted of Java.

  How knows why they take away much loved functions from the game, because there official reason is clearly a lye. Some People buy High End gaming pcs just to play Minecraft, so please give respect to them mojang (microsoft)..
