Rotten looking horizon

The horizon continues to look like very bad compared to how it used to look. The only way to keep it from looking rotten is to turn the fog to 2, which blurs the horizon so that you can't see the hard edges of the rendered area but that makes most of the rest of the display look rotten from fog blur instead.

Does the horizon look good to anyone that has fog turned to 3 or 4?

its always looked blah ... and no it doesnt look good now ... but its sorta like their n64 land textures its ez enugh to ignore and with client performance being so low, countless bugs, and generallly bad performance this is the last thing i would care about improving

The horizon definitely didn't always look the way it does to me now. I don't remember when the change occurred, it may have been a year or so ago. I kept hoping maybe it would get changed back.

I used to have a tolerable blur at the horizon - now I see hard edges at some visibility boundary unless I have fog set to blur everything but what is right near me.

I think this change occurred in connection with the change to the water ripple a while back. Having the water ripple turned on changes the way the horizon looks, to the point where it pretty much negates the value of the water ripple. Turning the water ripple off doesn't solve the bad horizon problem, though, just makes the horizon look a little less blocky.
