(PC) where is the volumetric fog? they fooled us again? | Forums

[wootwoots]

I've found fog, just not the cloudy fog like in that trailer. The fog has dimensions as I move around it, but it is so thin I can't tell if it's capturing light rays or not, but it doesn't seem to be. I wonder if my hardware isn't meeting some threshold for rendering the fog.

I wouldnt bother questionning your hardware, its only crap shader, so coding ( considering the amount of resources that stuff requier )

And that's more "volumetric cloud" than volumetric fog / light like GTA5 have as exemple... that game doesnt have a single piece of it ( in 2016 that's very meh ) I even doubt WD2 have any GI...

No wonder why the visual doesnt look that amazing, thoses volumetric light - GI are such "visual changer"

I don't care about those videos nor do I care what the developer said It doesn't HAVE to be there just because they said so. That's the part you fail to grasp.

The developer could decide to only have a phone that has one hack on it and they would have done nothing wrong.

You and others somehow think that because something is said, IT MUST 100% BE DELIVERED. Nowhere does a developer even have to deliver any mechanic, setting, option, look graphics, etc they are only required to deliver the game itself and that's exactly what they did.

It is 100% not relevant what was said prior things change all the time a developer can say anything they want it doesn't mean jack!

As I said none of you have any business complaining because you don't really have a complaint. You can not like it all you want, but the fact is they did nothing wrong and nothing unusual. You guys are just taking it personally because you feel let down which is basically your own fault.

want some advice..NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy into hype and believe what you read or what the developers say. The only real thing that matters is if if they delivered a hacking game and that's exactly what they did.

So again STFU!

Just like how the developer can choose to include guns and have done nothing wrong.

Hahaha! Marcus is also a registered gun owner too, but since he'sa hacker, it must be one or the other!

they said this will be fixed on 1.07
well, its not.

me and a friend tried sleep several times on couch and nothing shows up... we also double sure it was turned on under game settings and we looked out on the right time of the day

this seems to be very buggy or just downgraded.
maybe a lie?

Its there, but you need to do somes on/off screenshot comparison to see the little difference ( and the WAY too big performance hit ),

Yeah it look more like "downgraded", but to beginning with thoses guys added that effect with such a insane crap optimization job.... that... i dont think it worth play with it, except if you just wanted to do nice screenshot session.

i saw the fog yesterday it still good and better than we had, but it's not the same from nvidia trailers
it is a more dense fog, but nothing like the one they sold for us.

I agree with you, maybe they can reach us and say the truth at least? "We can't add the fog like we show on marketing trailer because there is no PC or at least a very minimal percentage of machines that can handle this with an acceptable fps, so we downgrade the fog"

this would be MUCH, so much better than they keep lying about it.

Not sure about the fog but I have watched the sun go down and the water (this is on console) is amazing .

This game looks stunning in almost every way possible

If you're trying to find Karl, here's a tip from Patch 1.08:

"San Francisco Fog (aka “Karl”): Fixed a timer bug that was causing the iconic fog to appear less often than intended. On the days it appears, it will show up around 6PM and disappear around 2PM the next day. In a future update, we’ll adjust and randomize its appearance times, so you can enjoy it more often. If you are eager to see it, you can always make the time pass faster by taking a nap on the sofa in the HQ."

Hi Rawrena, thanks for posting
I tried this multiple times with a friend, and we couldn't find this:


Take a note this is a screenshot used on steam to advertise the game, this is the fog we are talking about on this topic and the fog we found on the very last patch is not this one
so, there are some possibilities here:

1) this fog never existed for final users, because nobody saw this on their games
2) this fog receive a big downgrade, because this might be extreme demanding for "normal people" ran on our machines, since the game is already in a very bad shape about optimization, something like this could kill the performance in a unplayable level
3) we are talking about the same fiasco of E3 where the game was advertised and showed something that wasn't delivered for the public
4) if this really exist on our currently game, how we can see this? not mention the many times we go sleep on couch, this never going show up, there is a cheat to make this appear?

I think this was an unwanted downgrade. I too was looking for this fog, where I would only be able to see the top of the bridge.
What we have now is nowhere near what we're waiting for.

What we have now is a pretty basic normal fog where you can see only the things in front of you at a very short distance. But when looking at Karl from either sides of the bridge, there's nothing but fade to white.
