Surraven Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 How do they expect people to enjoy playing a game that they cant see anything for 1/3 of their play time. It seems every 5 mins its foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayde Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 On which map are you playing? We have the fog 2 times per hour on official The island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkCreation Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 we play on an official island server. If its not foggy its night time with rain. And even what seems to be a clear day there is a blue haze over the map. Distant mountains and terrain have this mostly. When you are flying around its more noticable. It is also hard to see beacons in the sky without a flying mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Default gamma. After the atmospheric fog patch the sky brightness / fog / ocean literally gives me headache. I have to see that intensity of brightness every single ark day cycle. Dear developer, does it fuken look immersive to your liking now? There's so many threads about this in the forum and on Reddit and none of you comment or give opinion on this. @Jat @TheRightHand Launch Option: -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -lowmemory -novsync -high -nomansky -sm4 -d3d10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniak Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I like the fog, thanks. It makes the island feel more dangerous, mysterious. Fog actually invokes primal fear in humans that evolution has given us via watching our distant anscestors get eaten by x animal hiding in fog or falling etc. just the fear of the unknown. Anyone else willing to accept realism In their survival game? 8 facepalms! Going for the record ladies and gents. Still <3 the fog ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yekrucifixion187 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Fog on the island is fine but fog under the water was not. Hopefully they fixed that like the patch notes say (just got update for PS4 but haven't got into the water yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughtilly Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The fog in THE CENTER map is ridiculous, it's so thick you literally can't see whats right in your face for at least 5 or more minutes. Also it stays foggy for a long time in general and the map is really not well seen which is a shame because it really is a beautiful place. I hope they do fix this.

Mistermjay Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The fog and brightness is overkill. Was on a tuso a few days ago underwater, came up and the brightness of the fog (a fog, with brightness. A fog. With brightness. A FOG. WITH &#$(@& BRIGHTNESS) literally blinded me for a few seconds. I thought it was a graphical glitch but it wasn't (relogged/relaunched game, same thing). The only things visible were water creatures. Non-scenario-wise; The fog does add a sense of realism, however all the time is not realism. Perhaps in certain biomes?

Ralphy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 How is this realistic? you must be living on a different planet. The dev released atmospheric fog w/o testing how it affects players with -sm4 -d3d10 In short, they "fixed" = raptored up what's not broken. I dont mind fog, but blinding bright atmospheric fog? really?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't doubt this was intentional to "friendly nudge" players to turn down the gamma where they don't have night vision 24/7... but just speculation. Or it could just be a TV/monitor issue my kids game tv is rediculously bright regardless of settings, I could use the thing as a spotlight.

Zomg Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 On the center I cant see 5 feet in front of me... and the underwater fog is so bad i cant even see jelly fish till it's too late. You know that fog they "removed from underwater". Also the underwater fog is now the new weather for 90+% of the day/night cycle on the center its utter bull crap - i thought fog was gonna be awesome but it's literally the most annoying thing ive ever dealt with in a game.

SwordrowS Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Try remove -sm4 -d3d10 from the launch options, it was the only way i could improve that fog. Guess that people using this commands will suffer in terms of performance in order to solve this fog issue. At least it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Unfortunately my fps becomes 15 and the game becomes unplayable w/o -sm4 -d3d10. Maybe this is what the dev means by "optimising" the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isho Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I was able to deal with the occasional fog once in a while, but now they've increased the chance of fog during rain on top of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuiet20 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Playing on Xbox the fog literally happens 2 to 3 times a day. Also it happens instantaneously changing the color of the entire map and destroy the games already poor visibility. This needs to be addressed.

Zerina Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I hate the fog. It seems like every time i step outside on the center its foggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfin Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I hate the fog too, it makes the game too bright and eyestraining. Should implement something else for the fog instead of making it washed out like that. The dark is also too dark that we have to use gamma setting, then there is FOG ! high gamma + fog = too washed out, why not give ppl better light source or implement something else. I get it that the game is trying to be realistic but come on, it's annoying. Give better light source for darkness instead of us using gamma anyway and use different technique for illustrating fog, if forgot to change back gamma to normal and combined with fog, it's just so annoying and sometimes will only realize after some time.

I've been tracking over the course of play this weekend on PVE306. Since Friday Evening EST, literally EVERY day/night on the Island has seen either a period of rain and/or fog. @Jat In other words, over the past four real-time days, every "24-hour game-day cycle" has had at least one period of rain or fog, and sometimes both. It's gotten to the point that we're joking about it in-game chat by offering to sell umbrellas for 1k ings. The frequency is set WAY TOO HIGH - check your server settings, because somebody screwed up a decimal place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonie1 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Every time it fogs, I make the same comment on skype... "Fog is the dumbest poop I have ever seen added to a game". It literally forces everyone to stop what they are doing and wait until its gone. Yeah thats fun. Might as well just lock up the screen and flash a big TIME OUT sign across it.
