Radeon cards and CMAK dust?

[JasonC]

My burning question - does the dust show up right with a Radeon card? It looks fantastic. Will I see it?

Edit: Dust clouds (vehicles, muzzle blast etc.) Will show up correctly. Dust "fog" will not.

Vehicle dust seems to be like smoke and shows up fine. Yay.

Radeons won't show fog (desert or regular) in CMAK. Sorry. ATI has said that they will not ever support Fog Tables in their Windows drivers so its not likely to change until CMX2 when we will use a different technique to show it.

Radeons will and do however show dust clouds (from vehicle movement, artillery barrages etc...), as seen in the recent After Action Report.

CMAK actually has two *types* of fog now. Regular fog and something called Desert Fog. They affect units pretty much in the same way, reduced LOS and sound spotting.

Desert Fog is actually very fine grains of sand in the lower atmosphere but in the game it is displayed like regular fog but with a more sandy coloration.
