Players can adjust weather frequency and intensity in a new World Settings tab, choosing from six presets including Dry, Clear, Raining Cats and Dogs, and Extreme. Fog density can also be set independently in video options.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle path system has been rebuilt from the ground up.
