Lighting Problems

[barber shop heptet]

I've recently been encountering some mild light changes since I completed Water Hazard.

It seems to always be fullbright when I change maps now?

Does anybody have this problem and how do we fix it?

do you have the +mat_dxlevel 95 in launch options??
this problem seems rife at the moment

I have the same problem, where I need to change something ?

+mat_dxlevel 95

I also found out that turning sv_cheats to 0 helped too.

I tried using +mat_dxlevel 95 but it didn't seem to work for me.

There's a discussion called "stuck on directx 8". Click on it, read through it and you'll get the answer. Look for Sir Whiskey

Nah, I just change them to high for graphic detail.

Oh wow thanks a lot. I played almost half of the game with WHITE walls :P

One problem though, it's kinda bright still imo, when I change a setting from the Advanced area, it goes darker, just like I want. But it ruins everything when I load a new stage :( Is there a way to set the light up a bit darker? I tried changing the values and nothing did anything really.

maybe your graphics settings in windows or on the monitor try using a calibration tool, theres also a slider ingame to adjust the brightness you may have missed it
