### Issue Type (Required):

Visual

### Issue Description (Required):

A lot of the rooms in Smelter Complex HL-17-36 during the vent purge modification no longer have the fog that missions of this modifier should have, furthermore in these rooms there is a big lack of any shadows.

Sadly have no pictures to provide as supporting evidence because it has left the board now but this is the second time it has happened and another player in the game was also commenting on it.

For reference here is a video of gameplay of how the map used to look under this modifier [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m22K1pUJuW0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m22K1pUJuW0)

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Load into Smelter Complex HL-17-36 with the Vent Purge modification
2. Play the mission

### Mission Name (Optional):

Smelter Complex HL17-36

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Mission came back on the board so I have been able to get screenshots to accompany this now.

Start of Mission.

Now this is where it gets interesting this next image shows a room with no fog, but the next room does.

now if we look back into the room from image 4 it has fog but walking into it disappears

It’s been like this for ages.

Maybe if I let slip that people are getting their vent purge penances in easy mode because of this it might get some attention - even better, tell them it makes paid cosmetics look bad, that will get it fixed :^)
