The most significant visual differences come from adjusting resolution settings. For instance, when fog volumetric lighting is set to its maximum, the game reveals a remarkable increase in detail within the lighting and shadowing on intermediate fog volumes in the near to mid-field of the camera. This enhancement significantly contributes to the realism of the game world. A similar story unfolds with cloud quality; maximizing this setting reduces the potential noise in the clouds, providing a smoother and more visually appealing experience.
