I just started a new game after the update today and it seems like the "Fog of War" is missing on the minimap when a map is generated.
Where is this setting so I can turn it "On" when starting a "new game"?

Thanks,

miro

Can you show a screenshot of what you mean/

See link.
Images are reversed in the link but I expected that "Fog of war" where I need to get a radar to uncover it.
If I set the enemy to be very large and everywhere - I would see them everywhere

Yep, this is a bug, i can reproduce it too: Moved thread to bug reports

The Fog of War is there, but not shown on the Minimap.

When you start a new game the map is revealed for 400x400 tiles for a few seconds, then the area outside of the player range is in the fog / darkened.

It has nothing to do with the 400x400 change. Fog of War was never displayed on the minimap, as far as I know.

I don't actually know, i've played with the minimap disabled since 0.11

I just did the tutorial and there was a grey box everywhere. You either had to walk there, or get a radar to remove the initial fog.
I'm a total newb so I expected the "new game" to work like the tutorial.

Fog of war is referring to the way that the area on the map that is not covered by the continuous scan area of radars or the player is darkened out. Can confirm that with 12.28 it is no longer shown on the minimap, even on previously created worlds.

Fog of War itself is functioning fine, tested on a new map.
