Mord Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey fellas (Is everybody psyched or what?!)...I haven't had much time with the game yet...just tooling around in the editor for about a half hour (got slmammed with stuff to do like the minute the game came out LOL) and was wondering has anybody tried the fog settings on a map to see what they look like? I am using this ATI Radeon 4560 and was worried seeing they've had a known history with CMX1 fog tables... I tried setting a map with fog in the editor but can't really tell if it's there...least not like in CMX1. Could someone with a non ATI card take some nice, hires screens for me so I can compare? Post them in this thread. Thanks! Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have an ATI 4870 and it looks like the fog is there to me... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Red Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Mord: You may be confusing ATI with nVidia. When AMD bought ATI years ago, they made ATI include support for fog tables, and about the same time nVidia dropped support for fog tables. Since I use ATI cards, I do not know if nVidia ever picked up support for the fog tables again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelley Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have a nVidia Card but didn't check it. Does anybody know if it works with nVidia? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 The old ATI cards wouldn't show fog at all at least during CMBO and even CMBB, I think...I remember hearing they fixed them a while back...But the fog is so slight on the map I was looking at I couldn't tell if that's what I was supposed to be seeing. The in CMX1 you could tell very easy. The only way I'll know is if someone can post a screenie or two for me to compare. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Red Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 AMD bought ATI the summer of 2006, and if I recall correctly, ATI started supporting fog tables in their Oct 06 drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 LOL...guys I just need to see a picture. LOL but here this might be better....ok, here's what mine looks like set to light fog. Ok, when anybody else sets a map to light fog is it this thin looking? Is this how fog looks in the game? If it is different can someone show me what it is supposed to look like. Thanks fellas!

Agua Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Yeah, I run nVidia gs 7800 and it looks identical to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The effects seem to be super light compared to CMBB where fog would actually really limit your viewing distance in the display. nvidia gtx9800+ Mist seems almost non-existant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Mord, I don't see it very well either, but it might depend on time of day. When I tried it last night, it started out OK (time set at 6:30 am), but got progressively thinner as time passed. It might also be heavier with rain??? nvidia 8800gt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Crowley Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have nVidia GTX 470 and get the same - essentially light mist. I'm guessing this is fairly accurate for June to August in that region? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Ok, thanks guys. I am guessing everything is ok. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might also be heavier with rain??? nvidia 8800gt That gave me an idea so I set the temp to cool thinking that might help it...but nope...and no on the rain, I tried that last night. I am thinking the light fog looks more like a mist...But that's cool, just wanted to make sure I was seeing the right effect.
