Weather/smoke not displaying properly


Recommended Posts

I just got me a relatively new Toshiba laptop, and it seems that the fog and high-res smoke is not being displayed properly. Here's the video specs I've got handy:

Graphics Controller

S3 Savage/IX™ 3D Accelerator

Graphics Accelerator

128-bit BitBLT

Local Bus

AGP bus (w/side band)

Video Memory

8MB SGRAM integrated

Anyone have any suggestions on how I might get the fog to show up? If it can't be done it's no big deal, since I still have my desktop which works just fine with CM...

Unfortunately you'll probably be out of luck in getting fog to work with that video chipset. S3 hasn't been known in the past to have very well written drivers, so this chipset probably doesn't support fog-tables and transparencies properly. This is actually a common problem for laptop graphics chips since they aren't geared for games and often lack support for features that games use.
