Draw distance/Fog removal

[digitalben]

Anyone have a solution to the horrible Fog limiting view distance? In photo mode bringing Fog down to 0 makes a huge difference visually. I know there have been mods in the past, but nothing that I can find works with the current version of the game. Anyone know which file or pak to tweak to "fix" this issue? It seems possible since you can do it in photo mode. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response, but yes this doesn't work anymore. I'm hoping for an ini or pak tweak. It has to be there somewhere.

Really? No one has any solutions for this ? I'm impressed. ♥♥♥♥ this game.

I could make one for you, it's quite easy. But there are a few problems. For example, if you are flying with your spaceship and you have the fog disabled, you can see the 'edge' of the world, where the terrain hasn't loaded yet. It's quite ugly tbh. Also, there's a problem with the freighter. The shadows get messed up.

Thank you for the response and offer to make a mod for me. I don't necessarily want no fog, just less fog. I want a little bit to hide the edge but less than vanilla because it's ugly and immersion breaking. I basically want to be able to see far away mountains and peaks with just enough fog to look "realistic". You don't need to make one for me, just need to know which file to change. I think I will just load Rayrods ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ package mod and go with it until 1.3 comes. Hopefully it fixes some of this. Mainly I want the realistic orbital and rotational mechanics that SM spoke in vast detail about and never made it to the game. And before someone says "they took it out because it was confusing people" , I don't believe there was ever a system in place for this. It would be deactivated or "toned down" somewhere in the code. It's not part of the code. Just like he said there are no skyboxes. If that was true there wouldn't be skyboxes and the sun wouldn't be the only thing that moves(only when you are on a planet btw). I'm not hating I'm just saying that was something I personally bought the game for. I was so excited to just sit back and watch this living, breathing universe unfold around me. I thought I wouldn't be able to put it down and rack up thousands of hours, and not play much else. Sadly I can't bring myself to play this game for more than 20mins at a time. It just kills it for me every time I see a moon/station/distant planet never changing position and staying static in the sky.

No it's been a year now and I'm still looking for the game that SM sold me on.

@OP,
Your thought process and your conclusions about fog and orbital system can be wrong. You must also see it the other way arround: HG has added fog not because they thought it was more realistic, but simply because of game engine limitations. The orbital system was a feature that SM wanted in the game but it turned out to be not doable. Guizin's example says it all I think.

There is a song for that, I cannot link you to it, it starts with "You can't always get what you want..."

What resolution are you running at? I'm at 4k and don't see fog. Playing the PS4 version on my PS4 Pro, though. Not sure if that's different from PC (don't see why it would be).

Is it just the planet(s) that you're on, possibly?

Ps4 pro is not 4k. :) It's rendered at 1080p at medium settings.

I play on PC, however, according to the Path Finder update, support For PS4 Pro 4K rendering was added.

No, it's not. They put in a 4k update with HDR for PS4 Pro back in March in the Pathfinder update. You're referring to the vanilla PS4 version or pre-Pathfinder.

I've ran it on both a high-end PC (3700k @ 4.7GHz / GTX Titan X Pascal) and on PS4 Pro. The game ran better on the PC but looks better on PS4 Pro because of the HDR.

If you have a minute, could you reupload the mod?
