Exponential height fog only showing in game mode

Hi, It seems that recently, volumetric fog and my lights contribution to it is not showing up in the viewport but only in game mode (G).

Using 5.0.3

Hey there @PieterCornelius! Welcome to the community! That’s a bit odd, unless the fog is set to be hidden in game that’s definitely an odd one!

Are you using the exponential height fog or another volumetric system for the fog?

Thanks!

I am using exponential height fog.

I tested on another project and all works as expected, with the fog showing up in both the viewport and in game mode.

I also opened a new level in our existing project and I have the same issue, I only added default outdoor lighting and the exponential height fog.

This tells me it must be related to some project settings.

I think you’re right there! Was this project upgraded from UE4?

This was a new project as far as I am aware.

I found the solution.

It seems that show fog was disabled in the viewport under the Show —>Fog (Alt F)

Thanks for assisting.
