I can't tell for certain, but I think the TL (don't know what that means -- maybe TnL) mode maybe disables hardware fog. The other mode definitely looks smoother, but I didn't hunt around for a nice open area to check the horizon curvature.
I did notice that the non-TL mode seems to come to a crawl with 16bit colour, because it's emulating it I would guess. The TL mode probably emulates it as well (on my hardware) but seems to perform better so any slowdown isn't noticed. I mention this because I think I discovered SoM looks much better in 16bit colour. It just looks more lofi, which is kinda how I take my KF 8)
