This problem results from having Zone rects in Eq2MAPs that differ from what's in the default map file. Any time the zone rect changes, the server resets the fog layer.
No idea why EQ2Maps wound up with different zone rects since they were available in the default files, but they are different and your fog layer will be reset if you swap from default to eq2maps (or visa-versa) and log in.
The only way to avoid this is to edit the zone rects in whichever map window your switching to, so that it matches the one your switching from. Be aware both EQ2Maps and the default map files will be overwritten if your run their respecive patchers.
Once the fog layer has been reset to black, there's no way to retrieve the previously cleared data.
