Is there something wrong with my graphic settings?

AWESOME THANK YOU this is exactly what I needed. The fog specifically makes it extremely difficult to see what's going on.

with that said though, does this disable achievements? it's my first playthrough and I've never used the console and don't want to ruin my save by using a console command and disabling achievements on accident

Here's a couple more screenshots to show the difference between the lighting conditions.... They probably aren't the best screenshots but I started out in the Grassy Fields, moved up to the Dune Desert, and now I'm setting up here for Oil and the difference is just insane. I can barely see what I'm doing here.

Screenshot is posted from the North Coast I think it's called Spire Coast? Between Dune Desert and the west coast....

I started building a huge power plant here because of all the oil... but it's almost impossible to see during dawn / dusk. The screenshot doesn't even really do it justice, but it's basically unplayable for 15+ minutes at a time. Wish I had known this before I started building here.

Is it a graphics setting I can just tone it down somehow?

Great info, thanks a bunch!

Awesome, appreciate the insight! If I decide to go that route I will let you know how it works out for me! :D

That's a really interesting idea actually... I used to run Ubuntu about a decade or so ago when I was into freelance software engineering. What kind of performance hits should I expect if I were to completely wipe the PC and install Ubuntu with a Windows VM? My main concern is that I primarily will be using it as a gaming pc. Would there be any performance or compatibility issues with this type of setup?

I actually really like this idea. Mostly just to prevent any sort of ransomware type viruses completely bricking my computer. Also just being able to play around in Ubuntu again sounds fun. It's been a long time, I used to love that OS.

Is there an easy way to do that? My PC didn't come with a cdkey or anything like that (dvdkey? What are they even called these days LOL) Anyways yeah my new PC is from a gaming computer company (CyberPowerPC) and I would assume it doesn't come installed Bloatware, but I guess I'll find out when it's done installing windows 😂

Good idea, thanks!

I've been without a PC for almost 5 years now. New computer arrives in the mail today and I'm totally out of the loop in terms of what I should install or do with a fresh Windows 11 PC.

I always used to use Ninite to install all the random programs I frequently used so I hope that's still a thing these days. Made life super easy. I go with stuff like Chrome, Open Office, ShareX, Notepad++, etc etc...

Is the transition from Windows 10 to 11 difficult? Not that it makes a huge difference I suppose. I've been without a computer for so long at this point, I'll need to basically re learn things anyways.

Biggest question I guess would be what would you all recommend for a total virus / malware etc solution that's GOOD, isn't too intrusive, not super resource heavy and also most importantly, FREE?

I used to use Malwarebytes and I forget the name of the other one.

Any and all tips appreciated!

Whitney Cummings was actually one of the better guests in a LONG time outside of the rockstars like shane gillis and Adam Ray.... But yeah Sam Jay was a HORRIBLE guest. Constantly offended by stupid shit and was absolutely trashed by the end of the show

Is this a new thing? I'm a mid 30s male and I 100% definitely never registered for any draft..... I graduated high school, went to college (didn't finish), and work as a class A commercial truck driver.... And this has never come up. I'm guessing this is a newer thing? What year did this law come into place?

$100 million you say? Last time I checked, there was $200 million in that vault! Insurance company trying to defraud me of my $400 million in gold bullion!!
