What does this setting do?
With fog the island feels denser and more threatening, because danger appears late. Without it players gain sight lines — an advantage that mainly benefits snipers on PvP servers.
Fog is also a performance question: it costs frame rate on weaker machines. On servers with many casual players that is an argument for switching it off which should not be dismissed.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
On. Atmosphere at no real cost.
Classic PvP
On. Fog is one of the few natural forms of cover.
Hardcore
On.
What to watch out for
Removes a lot of mood
Turning it off buys sight range and frame rate but flattens the island. If frame rate is the reason, look at the affected players' graphics settings first.
