Dark gameplay?
I know what this game is supposed to look like as I played it a bit on a laptop (that couldn't really handle the game) and although it's dark, it has color. In this PC I can barely see the sillouetes of things and changing gamma only gives it a blue tint.The screenshot cle

I took a screenshot, I just don't know how to put it here, in this thread, to show it.

Open steam and go to "veiw" then down to screenshots.

Find the game you want in the drop down list and click on the picture you want.

In the bottom right is a button called "Upload", click it (d'uh) and once it's done its thing it will change to "View Online", click that also.

Right click on the image you get and click "Copy Page URL". You can now right click and paste (or just crtl+V) the image into the forums chat.

Both an example of how it will look once posted when done right and how this game can look like at night.

Thank you! I added the screenshot to my post.

Looks like your level isnt getting loaded/started properly. Normally the game starts off dark like that and lights up half a second later.

Is there any fix? The game crashes in the cutscene after this (this is th tutorial level). This also happens in the meld tutorial and I can't even finnish that one without crashing

And only now do I realise I put in a screenshot of the wrong game.....

In the comment where I explain on how to put in screenshots from a game.

Hello irony, my old friend.

I already did both of those things. Didn't work.

I think I have the same problem (AMD card?). Try setting Fog of War to Low.
Lafezko Aug 11, 2018 @ 11:04pm 
I had a similar problem. I decided quite simply. Just changed the window mode from fullscreen to without borders.
I have a radeon graphics card.
P. S. Sorry, this is Google translate.

I gave up and unistalled but I may try those things in a near future. And yes, AMD GPU and CPU, RX 580 and Ryzen 7 1700.

I can confirm, having had the exact same problem and almost exactly the same system (2x rx480 and ryzen 7 1700), that Lafezko is correct, and running in windowed mode fixes it. I suspect it is the latest drivers, as I hadthe problem exactly after updating them, and our systems are very similar.

Did your PC also bluescreened short after tutorial mission completed (in the following cutscene) or during the meld tutorial mission?

Bit slow on this. Had this issue too, tried almost everything from verifying game files, deliting config files and etc. Only switching from fullscreen to windowed or borderless is fixing this issue.
