Hey there =)
I had this bug since day one. I thought it was normal until I saw a video on YT and their cartographer was clear as day.

I don’t know which setting is the culprit. I haven’t been able to replicate it. (on purpose)

Go into your save game files. and delete your options. then open the game again. It will make a new options file automatically. Fixes it every time.

Hi SGTJUMPER, does this bug exist if you update the game to the current version?
If you are trying Santeria318’s fix, I would suggest making a backup of that folder first in case.

Backups never hurt.
My island creator is currently hazy/foggy V1.0.6.0.17

Hi Santeria318 and SGTJUMPER

Can you provide your hardware specs please, including GPU/CPU models, RAM and OS.

In this case the next time this happens it might help to send both options files (the one before deletion/with issue and after a new one is created) to us here.

Sent to bugs@beamteamgames.com

I sent a bug report to bugs@beamteamgames.com in April of this year with both options files. Also reported it on steam forums. Maybe it got overlooked.

Before and after deleting options file.


I didn’t even see this! Sorry
