Fog "bug" in Silent Hunter IV

BuddyFromMoon · 08-17-13, 11:47 AM

Hello, fellow sailors!

I have encountered a problem, it pisses me off! The problem: Some kind of a fog, which limits my visibility range about 50-100m and this fog never goes away! It makes hunting and detecting ships impossible! Unless you are in a collision range with the contact. >: (

Mods i'm using:
- Improved stock Environment 3v (When i disable the mod with JSGME, the fog still dosen't go away)
- ShipPack (This dosen't effect it, fog encounter was way before i installed this mod)

Here is also a picture of this problem:

Awesome! You've died and gone to submarine heaven, where every day is foggy and all the enemy ships are completely unaware!

I'd remove all mods with JSGME, then reinstall the game. Check it out to see if the fog is fixed, then add in each mod, in turn, to ensure that fog hasn't come back. Seems like you have some kind of mod soup (copyright Kapt Lehmann) issue going on here.

Does hitting Control+N reset the weather?

I reinstalled the game

Fixed the problem perfectly, although don't know about the weather reset :P (Ctrl+N)

Thanks for helping me out!
Good hunting!

Ohh... i've encountered that problem again, but the weather reset (Ctrl+N) fixed it!

Thank you for your help, fellow sailors!

Good hunting!

Do you have the volumetric fog option ticked in the graphics options? If so, I would disable that. Was always a problem, especially with the "see through" deck watch crewmen issue.

As a side note, fog is a reality in the game, so you will get those conditions from time to time. You will get to appreciate the sloppiest conditions as time goes by. Trust me!
