Schoerner Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I'm wondering if CMBB will show fog with the Radeon chips, like other games do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 No. Fog in CMBB hasn't changed from CMBO. Fog-tables are still used. ATI has decided (at this point so far) to only support 'vertex fog' in DirectX. From the screenshots I've seen (which are a couple of years old) fog-tables look much better than vertex fog. Another difference may be which graphical API the game is written in. OpenGL is common for a lot of games and fog support under that API can be different for ATI drivers. Maybe, someday, ATI will emulate fog-tables like the NVidia cards do. Most likely they won't at any point unfortunately. They are focused on other areas of driver development (FSAA, filtering, performance, etc.). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barleyman Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Rage 3D tweak can be used to turn on Fog table emulation. AFAIK, it's definitely present in 8000-series and definitely not present in 7000-series. But as the tweaker comment says, use it only if you need it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Have you actually had that work ? All the times I've used it I've never seen fog. I believe it only makes entries into the registry, but the drivers never do anything (and I've enabled every type of fog setting in the tweaker). I haven't tried the very latest drivers with the tweakers and the Radeon 8500, but I've assumed that the drivers still lack fog-table support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoerner Posted September 8, 2002 Author Share Posted September 8, 2002 Thank you for your replies. I found the Rage3D Tweaker and all i could get was so much fog, that nothing of battlefield was visible, due to a grey screen. I also tried the ATI patch for another game (GTA III), but nothing changed. I just downloaded the newest Catalyst v2.2 (9050) drivers. I'll let you know, if they solve the problem. BTW: the rage3d.com forums are full with topics about fog problems of the ATI chips. Hope they will fix it, 'cause even my old TNT2ultra was able of showing fog. Since i played Tom's Battle Of The Bulge mod with light fog, i know what we are missing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I tried just about every "tweaker" going for the Radeon 8500 in trying to get fog to work in CMBO. Table-fog, Z-fog, W-fog, you name it, i've tried it. They don't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
