World Fog? Can be disabled

Is there any way to disable the annoying ugly fog that is in most of the AOC world. There are no more vistas or distance to see, unless it is in a relatively close area say town or such, it is foggy and looks like crap. Tested this in Prison colony area, go up and look over the valley, the distance / area all looks grey and washed out. Same thing seems to be in any zone where you can see a distance.

I want to see the world, not a faint foggy crap version. I used to be able to see the world, for the longest time its been grey and crap however (dreamworld ish)

Currently using a 7980 vid card with all settings on max.
DX10
View distance maxed

SweetFX removes it. Although I can no longer get it to run under DX10 currently. :(

Use SweetFX to get rid off it

Trees looks always bad in this game, damn 2D lol, so unprofessional looking
