No volumetric effects
My game don't have volumetric effects even though I've enabled it. No beams of light or moody fog at all anywhere to be seen. Using a GTX 660 ti with the new driver

Try verifying your install in Steam. Then try setting to the high preset to see if that works.

I did it, still with no volumetric effects
I already reinstalled the game, change to older drivers, reinstalled the directx, set the game to low, medium, high, deleted the game profile and also set -50 core and memory clock on msi afterburner, nothing works
When I use my onboard graphic card I can see the effects, here's the screenshot with onboard graphic card: http://prntscr.com/kzaqza

*sorry about my english

This is an assumption, but it might be a problem with your graphics card or CPU trying to render it. I don't know how old your graphics card is. I'm going to assume in the pictures you presented, the bottom one where the sky is black in the background is what you're seeing in game.
If that is indeed the case, then you might need to do some upgrades on your hardware, because yeah. The intensity might be too much for what your computer can handle, and so it cuts non-vital rendering so you can enjoy your game.

I had a look on Youtube and found a benchmark for the GTX 660 Ti...

That guy sets them to on as well but they don't appear to work on his machine either. Strange, maybe the 660 is missing a feature that VS needs to work - though it doesn't sound likely to me. Try posting in the pinned patch thread with your issue - perhaps this is a bug the Nixxes can address.

Though, performance will probably not be that good on a 660 at anything other than low so as Fox states, could be time for an upgrade.

My friend have a GTX 680 and all works fine BUT there's some people who have a 680 too and have the same problem, I don't think that could be my graphic card cause how I already said, works fine on my onboard card, sorry again about my bad english

I have a 680 and volumetric effects work on every other games that feature them except this one. It's definitely a bug.

good grief what an outdated card. the 660 ti has 2gb of vram but its on 192 bit bus and uses mixed memory. that means it only has 1.5 gb of vram that runs at full speed while the other 512mb barely limps along so maybe that is the issue.

and what are the rest of your specs?

Dude, the effects works perfectly on my Intel HD Graphics and don't works on my GTX 660 ti... and it's like ZiggyTouyeul said, volumetric effects work here on every other games that feature them except Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

I have a i5 3570
16 GB ram
SSD 120 gb
HD 1TB

And problem still not fixed after latest patch...
ZiggyTouyeul Oct 15, 2018 @ 9:54am 
And yet another game that has volumetric effects that work on my GTX 680 > Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Still no sign of any upcoming fix on the matter from Nixxes...

Use DDU in windows safe mode, reboot and install latest driver.
Aca40eSete Oct 15, 2018 @ 10:42am 
I did it and it did not work
ZiggyTouyeul Oct 16, 2018 @ 9:52am 
Still not fixed in latest patch.
