Volumetric Fog No Longer Working

Development Rendering

I have a strange issue that has affected me and my collegue while using UE4.
At different times using different versions of Unreal Volumetric fog has stopped working entirely. Even projects that used to use it no longer have functioning Volumetric Fog. We have updated our graphics drivers, upgraded our versions and nothing seems to fix it. Even when we make new projects we can’t get it to work. But if we move to dfferent PCs volumetric fog works again, which is a nightmare since we have our designated work PCs and can’t just go moving to other computers.

Is this a known issue? How would we go about fixing this?

Finally figured this one out. Our Shadow settings were at “Medium” for performance reasons, but apprently volumetric fog doesn’t work on anything lower than “High” settings. So if you want volumetric light effects, definitely make sure that it is no lower than High.
