Local Height Fog always comes with black pixels in foreground

[Philiop14]

hi there

as you can see, my local height fog ist always surrounded by black pixelated blocks and is always rendered in the foreground. it usually works fine. I didn’t change parameters, that would affect this (knowingly). in a new map within this project, I have the same issue. in new projects, it works as supposed.
I think it just appeared after a project packaging, but I can’t really tell, since I tested different things and had the Local Height Fog turned off for a while. what might packaging do, to cause a permanent issue?
i don’t feel comfortable yet, to report an official bug. I also don’t want to waste to much time with this. I could rebuild everything in a new project, but id rather solve it in this one.
on top I don’t want to run into this issue again, since local height fog seems to be a mess sometimes, especially on Mac - most problems are unsolved, unanswered even.

system (14" MacBook Pro)
m3 max 16/40 core, 64gb (I can do almost anything and the fans won’t even turn on - its a wonderful experience so far - so please no Mac hate)
ue 5.3.2

thanks for your time

I found out, that deleting the project and starting a new one under the same name keeps the problem.
where are possible files, that could store such an issue?

NOT TRUE, “SOLUTION” IN NEXT REPLY

I found the problem:
Local Height Fog is completely dependent on having a Volumetric Cloud Actor + having checked “Visible”.
Why? Idk. Please confirm this is a bug and that I didn’t miss the dependency.
Cheers.
