I Found A Fix! (Intel HD 4000 Lighting Bug)
After doing some research on the game, I found it was built on the Unity Engine. After that, I looked at different commands I could launch the game with to try and see if something would work. Lo and behold one of them got the lighting working. For me, -VertexLit and -ForwardRendering didn't work at all. But, if you run the game with OpenGL instead of DirectX, lights seem to render properly.

tl;dr
-Go to your Launch Settings for the game
-input the command "-force-opengl"
-Start the game
-Lighting should now work

Wow, thanks Jeff the Duck! I can't believe I didn't think to try this, it makes perfect sense. Thanks, and I hope this will also work for others!

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. (I beat the game in 1 sitting and I have to say it was fantastic)

Jeff,
Are you running Windows 8?
Le Meme Man 30 Oct, 2013 @ 5:22pm 
No, I'm running Windows 7, but it was the exact same bug being described, so I can only guess it would apply to Windows 8.

Can anyone verify that this solution works on Windows 8 for this issue?

took a risk buying with windows 8.1 and intel hd4000...worked with no issues and did not have to use the fix mentioned above. really enjoyed the game =)

Hi. So how does this bug look? I use a laptop with an Intel HD 4000 and I finished the game without this fix. I think it looked OK but maybe I missed something?

You are awesome! It did fix it. Only problem is that the game now crashes when I save and quite.

Basically, everything is completely dark. The light sources don't render at all. If you didn't get the problem then you're definitely lucky.

This worked perfectly! Thanks so much. Spent the last 30 minutes trying to find a solution and this was it. You're awesome!

Takes the game down a few notches in polish, but makes it playable, even at high settings. Thanks for finding this.

You are the man, thank you. I can finally enjoy the game as it should be.

I just wanted to thank the TC for this fix. I put this game off for far too long and now I can finally play it.

It works! Bless you! I've been wanting to play this game forever and when I finally had the time and spare $20 I ran into this lighting bug. You saved the day!
