JTR7....is twelve bells an FM...does it have another title?.

I don't know about an FM, but that's the number of times the bell in the bell tower rings at the beginning of Life of the Party (and Eavesdropping, too, of course).:)

Interesting and good to know, Dan. What I've noticed since I got my Vista64 machine is that whenever I read a book, check the map or go to the menu screens, when I come out, usually my gamma setting reverts to very low (much lower than I have it set at, anyway). I have to tap the + or - key to bring it back up to where I have it set normally. I wonder if the two are related since it's the changing screens that seems to trigger both? Anyway if anyone knows how to fix the gamma problem I'd be indebted, it's pretty irritating.

This exact same thing happens to me exactly as you describe it, except I am running Windows XP with NVIDEA GeForce 8800 GT. Like lots of people I guess, I never had any video problems until I bought the new video card last summer and needed to use DDFix to get the game to run at all. It is kind of annoying, but I'll take it just to be able to continue playing.

Just edited this post to add (for what its worth) that I can see fog in missions.

Scrooge, could you post your TrayTools fog settings here for others to try out?

I indeed use AtiTrayTools to manage the Video settings, and I've not installed CCC at all.
In the advanced D3D tweaks, I've enabled everything EXCEPT:
- W FOG enable
- Discrete fog enable
- Export W buffer

AtiTrayTool is the latest beta 1.6.9.1382 ((http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=275077))

I tested with the FM Stronghold

Hope it helps

I wonder would this work with an nVidia card.... I shall test it with my GTX280

Does TrayTools work with something other than an ATI card?

Adjusting my settings to match Scrooge's, I saw no difference compared to the basic instructions to enable Table Fog and Z Fog only. I still get "Wall of Fog" effect. It looks okay at certain angles for some screenshots, but not most, and not when moving around.

Anything here of note?

Sorry, Yandros, back to you.

Yandros on 3/3/2009 at 11:07

The point was to get fog at all in Vista. You're XP I take it if you had it before changing the settings?

Sorry, Yandros, I interrupted, back to your concerns.
