How to remove fog from Train in CS2

Train in CS2 was released on November 14, 2024, featuring significant visual updates to the iconic map. The updated design features a darker, rain-soaked atmosphere, however, one thing that seems to bother some fans is Train's somewhat foggy appearance.

Players may be referring to the colors looking a little bit faded and unsaturated on Train, making it look as if it's covered in a thin veil of fog. The good news is, you can get rid of this so-called fog and improve visibility. This article will explore the simple steps required to do it.

To remove the foggy appearance on Train in CS2, you need to adjust the game's gamma settings. This will help saturate the colors a little bit more thereby, improving the visibility for some players. Here are the steps you need to follow to get it done:

• Fire up CS2 and then go to the Settings menu.
• From here, ensure that your game is in Full-Screen mode. To do so, go to the Video option and then to the Video tab in the Settings menu.
• Next, go to the 'Display Mode' option and pick 'Full Screen' if it's not already selected.
• Now, go to the 'Game' option in the Settings menu and pick the 'Game' tab.
• Here, enable your Developer Console by selecting 'Yes'.
• Now you can return to the home screen and press the (~) key to trigger the console on.
• Type the following command in the console: "r_fullscreen_gamma 3.3"
• Exit the console and enter Train in CS2.

Changing the gamma setting in CS2 will significantly impact how Train appears in the game. The colors will look a little bit darker, and more saturated, and the brightness will also seem appropriate for the best visual reception. The foggy appearance of the map will completely disappear making visibility a lot better than it was previously.

By default, the gamma setting is set at about 2.3 in the game. The particular feature is responsible for adjusting the mid-tones between light and dark in the game. This is the reason that adjusting it helps with the game's overall appearance.

Naturally, you can expect the appearance of other maps to also change when you change the visuals of Train in CS2. This is because the gamma setting applies to Counter-Strike 2 in general and not just a singular map.
