UE3 - General UDK Draw Distance Issue

[Sythenz]

Hey there guys,

I'm brand new to this forum, and only recently to UDK. But I've just installed it on a computer that is more powerful than my laptop. With the UDK on this desktop I'm having a problem with Draw Distance and for the life of me cannot find the answer to fix this annoying problem. This problem happens for both the game in UDK and the Editor and I would just like to get it fixed.

As I move closer to the sky the Black space smaller, so it's got something to do with the viewport's draw distance or cull distance of a model.

I'm going to be working with larger scale level designs that are more environmental based so getting this draw distance higher is essential.

Can anyone help me?

How large is your skydome? You should probably shrink it a bit.
Did you run UDK on the laptop as well?

Well this is a map that has come standard with UDK, and when I open the same map DM-Deck on my laptop's UDK, I don't have any problems. Both are fresh installs of UDK.

That is a bug on Geforce 6 and 7 cards. This does not happen on newer cards.

Use ExponentialHeightfog instead of normal Heightfog. The bug is related to the use of the ordinary HeightFog actor. No Heightfog actor = works on GF6/7

Thanks Hourences,
Is it specifically because of the driver? And if I downgrade to an older display driver will it work better? I'll use the other Actor instead. =]

Thanks again.
Scott.

Downgrading won't fix it. It is broken in all versions. Just use the other actor. It is better looking in general anyhow.

Alright,

Thank you for your time and helping me with this issue.
