White fog taking over the screen?

More and more often, a "white fog" quite rapidly arrives from a side and takes over the entire screen, like a rolling wave. It's more or less transparent. I'm unable to grab a screenshot, but this is a photograph:



If I reload, it disappears, at least for a few seconds, only to come back again.

I have a GeForce GTX 660 with newest driver. Latest SOD patch (didn't run SOD before that patch).

Any ideas?

    Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the fog one of the features of Siege of Dragonspear?

    @O_Bruce It is?? :-D I truly didn't know that. It looks like a graphical glitch. Have I missed anyone referring to the mist?

    @Astafas
    It was mentioned few times during the streams developers did. And so I wasn't surprised when I saw the fog.

    I have this too - it really gets out of hand sometimes although a quickload seemed to solve it for me - at least for a while.

    Yeah, it's the same for me.

    It's overwhelming in some maps, I made another post about it here before I saw this: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/53553/sod-how-to-turn-off-the-smoke-machine-in-lichs-lair#latest

    I'm in exactly that area!

    I really liked it, it hit for a bit outside the De'arnese Keep (in BG2EE).

    The problem isn't the VFX's existence, but rather how it manifests and obscures the entire screen. That is, the shift from artistic flourish to gameplay impeding annoyance.

    When you're on the map screen, you can see it come from the top right corner. It's like some smoke machine that's blowing it all over the screen. I then headed off to that part of the map because I thought it was something you could interact with and maybe turn off.

    Okay, so it's not a bug, how do we get rid of it more permanently? :P

    @CaloNord Edit your baldur.lua file:

    SetPrivateProfileString('Game Options','Enable Fog','0')

    If it's not there to begin with (it wasn't for me) then add it in.

    Woo! @Artemius_I Cheers!

    I don't want to have to disable all weather just to get the fog to tone down.

    I love the idea, but. . . tone it down a bit. . . :D
