I have no fog of war for some reason. Its quite annoying.

I dont have any grey colored fog over the map of the part I cant see. Can't see enemy units in the fog however.
Does anyone know a solution?

Not any idea of changing anything important.

If you lowered your graphics it may be why as on low graphics settings the FOW is not grey it's just a bit darker. I know this because I have to play on low graphics all the flippin' time.

I play everythin on lowest settings. But I didn't change graphic settings for a LOOOOOOONG time. Only resolution. I changed it back but didn't help.

Ill screw around with some other settings..

Despite nintendo 3ds graphic settings, looks fine to me.

You can see different ground in sight of your inf and different outside of it. Matter of too low settings I guess, so you can't see the contrast that well.

It used to be a lot more clearly what is fog and what not. I screwed around with Mod Tools, but that can't be a problem, right?

Might not be the same issue, but there was a similar thread recently:
http://www.coh2.org/topic/44607/bug-causing-fog-of-war-to-not-display-properly

They seemed to get it working properly again, so maybe the same steps will help?

took a moment for me to figure it out but if you look at the minimap there's a squad providing LoS to half the screen but it all shows up as fogged.

i have seen someone else mention this issue but i don't remember where or if they had a solution.

Validated game cache => no fog
Updated drivers => no fog

I think this problem started after installing Windows 10.

Have windows 10. Don't have that issue. I also play on a surface pro so my settings are at the lowest.

Do you play on a laptop or with multiple graphics cards? To fix the problem myself(I made the other thread btw) I had to force it off my Laptop integrated graphics which unfortunately led to 30 minute crashes due to the other GPU being god-awful.

It's possible that your driver's didn't install correctly when you installed windows 10. Uninstall your Video Card Drivers and reinstall them.

Also, does your motherboard have a Graphics Chip? It could be overriding your Video Card.

Reinstalling the drivers fixed the problem! Thanks!

I also had a small fps boost. \ :) /

It worked when I completely reinstalled the drivers. Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall the graphic drivers. Restart the computer and then install the drivers again.

Hope it works!

I always do it like this and this is my personal preference. I have this program called Display Driver Uninstalled (driver sweeper), that you can get from Guru3D.com . Then I restart my pc and boot up in Safe mode and in safe mode I uninstall video drivers and i also use CCleaner to make sure registry has no errors. After I have done that I boot up again and now I'm ready to do a clean install with no trace of my previous drivers.

Sometimes if you just go and uninstall video drivers like any other program, you might be left with some nasty registry errors or so and it will start messing with your new drivers.

Now i know this method takes a little bit longer, but you want your games to work right? I will not guarantee that this will fix your problem tho.

Let us know how it went! GL
