Disappearing clouds in 1.02 fixed!

[finiteless]

Tired of your 1.02 fluffy clouds disappearing when you don’t want them to? Well, I found out how to fix this annoying bug!

 

It had to do with the LandLodDistances settings L01 and L12 not being set properly, but now the clouds no longer disappear. Download the file given below if you also want your clouds back.

Backup your original, then place this new file within the folder

graphics.cfg file cloud fix

 

 

(BTW, I use medium visual range setting with a 9800XT)
