    Do dynamic fog lower the performance on Xbox series s. I have it turned on in my setting. It killing the performance in tsw4. But when it turned off it ok. Actually I like the dynamic fog but since I have the series s. It really struggles. But again I have it turned off. Kinda thought dynamic fog wouldn’t have a problem with the system performance. But I guess on series s it does.

    Yes, dynamic fog does impact performance. That is why the option to disable it was given.

    Source: TSW4 launch stream.

    Hope that helps!

    Fog isn't a problem, but rain will completely destroy your performance on XBOX Series S.

    If you have weather set to rain storm, every route will become a slideshow.

    Are you on series x. If you are I bet it awesome to have such cansole that can actually do what it supposed to do. Maybe in the near future I will upgrade to the X.

    On my series S I don't see a difference in performance between having the fog turned on or off.

    Lucky you don’t have to worry about the low performance.

    Just checking.

    Are you running an XBOX Series S or an XBOX One S ?

    I just ran a Blackpool Branches timetable on XBOX Series S in fog between Preston - Blackpool North, and performance only dropped when Blackpool North was loading-in on approach.

    Do you have games downloading in the background while you are playing TSW, or is anything else using the internal SSD?

    I’m gonna give it a try again just to test it out on other route. On Edinburgh waverley it seem not to do it as much.
