Ray tracing performance optimization

Reduce the number of objects with ray tracing, limit the effect to the area where the player is, and try to force the game not to render objects that are out of sight of the player or too far away.

RayTracingPerformasse

✨ **A practical mod focused on improving the ray tracing performance of "Hogwarts Legacy"! **

This mod won't work miracles, but it will make your game run smoother with smart tweaks. Its core principle is: **Reduce the number of objects with ray tracing effects and limit the effects mainly to the area where the player is**. At the same time, it will try to force the game not to render objects that the player cannot see or are too far away, thereby freeing up valuable GPU resources.
