My Fog is black and blocky

[manu-fan]

Hi,

I'm on a Mac. Is this because of graphics settings or something? It's not at all like the white fog I've seen in pics here.

Cheers.

That's the "fog" you get when you're running on low graphics settings, and/or DX9, I believe. (Though I played the PC version, so I don't know the details for the Mac port.)

low graphics settings = black blocks.
Same with leaders. If you set the settings to low, you'll only get static images.

You have your Fog of War Quality set to minimum. If the settings for the Mac are the same as the PC, proceed as follows:

1. Select OPTIONS from the start menu.
2. Select Video Options from the top of the next.
3. At the right, fourth option, you'll see Fog of War Quality is set to Minimum.
4. Click the bottom right of that rectangle and you'll see your options are Minimum, Low, Medium and High.
5. Select Low. You don't need anything higher for a good effect and anything higher canes the machine.
6. Save etc.
7. You'll probably have to restart the game.

Hope that helps.
