Hey everyone,
I just did a clean install (4 disk ed) and downloaded all of the patches (1.1, and all Quinn patches) and I'm having a problem when starting a new game:
Whenever I move around my characters the fog of war (black cloud that usually should go away once you explore an area in the game) re-appears when i move away from a given spot. It's really annoying, and I'm not really sure how to fix this problem.
Anyone else encounter an issue like this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Is the new "fog of war" transparent? Or solid black?
If it's transparent, that's the way it's supposed to be. You can still see any permanent fixtures in an area you've previously viewed, but you can't see the details such as any creatures walking around that area unless you have someone close enough to actually see them.

The "fog of war" was black (not transparent) at the beginning of the game. However, once I got out of the first area (where you kill the zombie w/ the key) the bug seemed to have gone away. Hopefully it stays that way.
Thanks for the quick response!

UPDATE: Ugh, the bug seems to have come back when I reloaded the game
It's weird, sometimes characters in the game are viewable through the black "fog" even though the environment is not.

Very weird. You are playing in 640x480? Not using widescreen mod or any other mods like that?

Yeah, I'm running in the default resolution. Also, I did the full-install (copied CD contents), but I wouldn't think that would be what caused it.
Do you think I should just try and reinstall?

Eh. It strikes me more likely to be a video card/driver problem. What kind of video?
Other than nudging you in that direction, I'm afraid I'm unlikely to be much more helpful regarding this.
Getting some sleep, so don't stay up for my response (which probably won't add much anyway, I'm afraid

Noticed this thread over at the Ars forums, I suspect it might help.

I believe the fix they're referring to is here:

And no, the install order shouldn't matter.
