Not really a big suprise considering ATI's crappy driver history. But it's worth mentioning if you haven't bought it yet.

According to the tech board at Rage3d it does work for the rare user (usually on Win2K), but for the rest of us it generates a scary looking bomb that you're supposed to paste into an email for Xicat.

Disable fog where? In the game? I can't start the game to disable it.

There's no option in the latest 8500 WinME drivers to "disable fog".

In powerstrip under performance profiles it shows that fog table is disabled under D3D anyways. It still doesn't work.

it's not ati's drivers.. it's gothic's lazy developers.

It works just fine for me most of the time except for the crashing problems when there are a bunch of creatures in the screen. It automatically disabled fogging for me. I'm running WinXP pro with a retail 8500 @275/275 on a duron @1000 system.

I figured out what was causing the crashing on my system, its my damn live value soundcard. I changed the sound type from eax/miles(both crashed) to directsound and havn't crashed since. Oh, I play @1024x768 with full details, and view distance @ 300%, it runs just fine.
