KG_AGCent Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I have the Radeon 9700TX video card with the latest driver set installed. I am running a P4 2.4gHz, 512mb RDRam, Win XP Pro (completely updated with DX 8.1). I have no fog effects in CMBB. I tried toggling through shift-W to no effect. Any help to be had? Thx!

Schrullenhaft Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 None of the 'tweaks' for fog on the Radeon will work (when it comes to what CM needs). ATI doesn't support fog-tables/particle-fog effects under DirectX - the code simply doesn't exist in the driver to my knowledge. So a 'tweak' will do nothing but edit the registry with a setting that generally means nothing (though it may have been defined by ATI). Some people have mentioned here that they were certain that one of the Catalysts gave them fog-effects (Catalyst 2.4). However I doubt that was the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Carr Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 If you are a CMBO and CMBB fan then get rid of your ATI card. The fog is a nice touch to a great game. I ditched my Radeon 7500 card for a GForce Ti4600 and I haven't been disappointed. If you have the cash I and are a Combat Mission fanatic then ditch the ATI card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicides-by-Steve Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Instead of ditching the card, maybe it's time to program CM in OpenGL? Considering that Nvidia may soon be going the way of the VooDoo cards, it may be the most prudent option to consider at this point in time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 ... Certainly do not ditch your card for one game, unless that is all you play. It's the best card out there. Something you might consider trying, (I have yet to) is using the latest Omega drivers for the ati chipset. Apparently people are reporting gains in several areas over the 3.2 cats. It might just be that 'fog' has been implemented too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ok I tried the Omega drivers and they offer total stability and smooth vision 2.1 for starters but still no fog or AA in CMBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
