Is it me or are the maps more foggy?

[Jaydev]

So I tried out the maps Belgian Bog and Punjab to see the new water effects (which are awesome, BTW) and when out zoom all the way out, the map becomes very very foggy. I would share a screenshot, but I don't know how to. I've tried the Windows 8.1 screenshot (don't remember which key) and I just got a screenshot of my desktop. And my Rptr app doesn't support it. But it seems very very foggy. Any solutions?

Fog hides farther objects more. To achieve this effect, we calculate the distance and set the intensity based on it. That's why it would hide the whole map if you zoom out too much.

Ok, thanks guys! Glad to know it wasn't a bug. I had the map set on explored and thought it may be something. Anyhow, thanks for the reply and sorry for the false alarm!

Just out of curiosity (and because I like to play the game a bit more zoomed out ;-)), is there any possibilty to deactivate or modify this distance fog?

You can do it on a per-map basis, but there's currently no existing controls to disable them completely (unless you want to disable advanced graphics altogether).

I also like to play zoomed out, and I agree that, in some maps, the level of distance fog is a bit annoying and I'd like to be able to reduce it.
