The only mods I've added to GWX are the GWX ones (Dec update, no medals on crew, XXI hydrophone fix) and danlisa's IXC skin. I saw this lack of fog effect in the pure GWX original version as well, so I don't thing any of the mods affects it. I don't know I'm open to any suggestion really.

I haven't altered anything but, menu interface (by adding 6 dial simfeeling mod which only effects the menu/gui directory), sound, and a few textures files (posters). Everything else is GWX. My friend is experiencing the same thing with his clean GWX install with 23rd Update.

I had same problem in the vanilla, but that was long time ago and really dont remember how i fixed it.

Either it was that i had installed a new mod for the sky so i had to unistall it again
or i had changed driver for my grapich card. So i had to unistall and find some other. At that time i had a ATI Radeon card.

So only advise i can give if you dont have installed any mods is to try some other, or newer drivers for your card. It might work.

This sounds familiar actually. :hmm:

Are all you guys that are having the problems running ATI Radeon cards? Just a q to determine whether to rule it out or not.

Yep mine is an ATI Radeon 9600/9700

I'm using Nvidia Geforce 6200 OC with latest drivers.

My card is a gf 6600 gt with 77.72 drivers.

perhaps is related with drivers or cards. :hmm:

Strange. In GW 1.1a I had no problem at all with the fog. Unless the devs change the scene.dat files I can't see why it should be affected by the graphics card. :hmm:

the only problem i had with fog was this one:

but figured it out, and for me the heavy fog works fine, but i hate it when the damn destroyers get me first *lol*, but hell thats life :)

Btw.: my card is a 8800GTX with 97.92 drivers.

@melnibonian
"I can't see why it should be affected by the graphics card."
maybe not by the card, but drivers can be strange sometimes .

Mel...IIRC we both not only have ATI Radeons but didn't we both also receive a scene.dat file from a close associate shortly after the release of GWX ? :hmm: ;)

Yes that's true but I don't use the 16K atm. I'm using the default 8km. I don't know if that makes any difference though. The strange thing is that during the Beta Testing I had no problem with fog. Strange very strange :hmm:

Hmmm....:hmm:

6800XT 256mb 256 bit card here with the stock cd drivers( Forceware 84.26) and I have the rain on a sunny day bug. I posted a screenshot earlier but no one picked up on it.

I've only seen clear skies and rain the one time in GWX, never in stock SHIII. Didn't check on mssg about fog at the time.

Well, I was about a week into my first GWX cruise. I went to load up my career today and...it was gone. It didn't exist, and only the profile 'player' was shown.

How to explain the disappearance of my saves?

I was running the original release of GWX with no mods or updates.

if you remember the name you saved it under...do a 'search' :arrgh!:
