faron13: That worked. Well the fog part did not but i was able to toggle the day cycle off and it worked well enough to make it playabe. Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.
I'm glad at least the menu was able to help. I wish I knew which specific setting did it. The day/night cycle toggle is an all-in-one package that includes fog, lighting, sky, weather, etc. Let me just explain what was going on behind the scenes there.
When designing an outdoor area in this game, the designer has two options -- a dynamic day/night cycle where each time of day (out of 5) has its own set of fog, sky, light, and weather settings, and a static, unchanging suite of settings. The latter can be used for areas that are always the same time of day or night. Usually, when a designer uses the dynamic day/night cycle, they leave the static set at the defaults, because you'll never see them. By using that toggle, if the overland map has dynamic day and night, then you switched it to the default suite of weather settings.
