Broken Light Sources

[Lolzcat514]

Been playing for a few hours feeling like something was missing, and finally confirmed it while watching the IGN review. My flashlight does not illuminate. It's just a static beam that does not affect the environment. Have also had random travels to heaven during daytime as everything becomes extremely lit, even without a light source. Would like to hear I'm not the only one with this problem at least, haven't found anything on Google.

Sounds really odd, your system should be fully supported and have no probs. Do you have the latest drivers? recommend grabbing from here: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx

Pirating stuff is bad mmmkay?

Pirating stuff is bad mmmkay?

Whats wrong with Virtual Drives?, they are not only for pirating, they have other uses. For example i got games that need the disc in to play, i create images of those discs and mount them in virtual drives so i can play without the hassle of inserting damn discs.

Slim chance I guess. I've been a PC gamer since early 90s and I don't use any discs for games.

:confused:

I apologize if you're not a pirate.

Forgot to note that I do have the most up to date drivers. Been messing with brightness to no avail, guess I'll have to wait don't want to ruin the experience of a game based around light with a broken light source.

Yeah i remember back then they didnt have this Securom crap and other DRM bs, i played my games happily after installing them without hassle. Now its companys trying to get greedy putting these intrusive DRM's in games hurting even their legitimate customers, actually they hurt their legit customers more as pirates hack the DRM out anyways. But yeah i miss the late 80's and early 90's.

Seems like some AMD players have been having trouble with older left over files with their drivers. It's a stretch, but I'd suggest reinstalling ATI drivers from scratch using DriverSweeper in safe mode to clean the remnants of the old stuff out.

No worries, this game is purchased, or else I really wouldn't be putting an effort into fixing this problem.

Ooh thanks, I'll have to try this out in a bit, this is the first update I tried through Catalyst manager instead of through the website. Will update as soon as possible.
