As am i... that demon Rage3dTweak never decided to work on my Radeon... i'd kill him, but his not a physical life form and virtual killing doesn't give me much pleasure.

Yeah, I have a Radeon as well. I don't mind not having fog - I can better see whats coming at me :D

I had the enormous pleasure of testing Love Story IV - without the fog! :)
I've since discovered ATI Tray Tools which works a treat for me.

Many of us haven't seen fog in our Thief games for years.:(

Wow, I didn't even recognise Calendra's Legacy from the non-fog shots.
Fog works on both my computers, though my laptop's ATI X300 Mobility took some playing around with settings in ATI Tray Tools to enable it (one of the fog settings had to be left off, IRRC, and the rest turned on). My desktop's nVIDIA 8800GT also displays fog with DDFix.
Anyway, ATI Tray Tools is the way to go for ATI. I can double-check the settings on my laptop and post them if anyone needs them.

Well I've just double-checked my ATI settings (which I haven't used for a while) and they're all enabled so I'd appreciate them NV. I don't quite remember now, and can't find, where I got the right settings in the first place.

I have no fog on my new PC, because I only have on-board graphics (no video card). If anyone knows if fog will work with that, let me know, but I'm guessing not. I'm going to buy a new vid card soon anyway. Any recommendations? I've always had nVidia but I'm open to ATI too.

I think I might have spoken too soon. The settings, as are listed in the technical FAQ, are Fog Table Emulation: On, W Fog: Off, Z Fog: On.
Those do work, but for some reason they only work when I'm not using DDFix.
Fog works fine with DDFix on my desktop's 8800GT, however.
The fog on my laptop also seems to look more like that old "wall of fog" effect which ATI fixed a few driver versions back. Maybe I lost the updated drivers at some point? It's been a long time since I ran Thief on my laptop other than brief DromEd sessions.
I might poke around with the settings some more tomorrow.
