When VV is enabled the underwater view distance is reduced compared to having it off.
I think this qualifies as a bug or at least an oversight because it’s a hindrance to anyone using VV and possibly gives players with VV disabled an advantage.
This the main contributor to this appears to be Volumetric Fog, as turning it off brings your visibility back up to normal
Reproduction Steps:
- Enable VV
- Make sure “Volumetric Fog Quality” is not set to “OFF”
Observed Results:
- Your visibilty underwater is reduced
Expected Results:
- Your underwater visibility would be mostly unaffected
Is this still an issue in the latest preview?
