ok, well basically, im having some probs with my css since getting the radeon 4850, mainly the game being too dark (i have now fixed this as it was stil to dark even upping settings in settings in css).

however, atm, i cant see into some places because of the light stuff, it seems i now have to realistic settings , for example when i look into the rafters on nuke:



what do i need to turn off to stop this from happening? because i play lots of wars on nuke and need to be able to get them camping cts ;P

That would be the HDR IIRC. Look lower down in the settings, under AA and AF IIRC

??? lol

High dynamic range is already set to none

Increase your brightness and contrast, either in game, on monitor, or using the drivers.

the problem isnt darkness, its the light coming through the windows at the top etc.

Hmm, just fiddle with the settings till it goes away. It's probably something like lighting or shadows.

the darkness i can fix, ive ready said that

but the light coming thru the window makes it impossible to see into come places like the rafters as shown in the screenshot. all i can see is beams of light >.<

Mess with the low-high settings in the advanced bit of CSS options. I can't remember what options there are, but it's probably something like lighting or shadows. Just change the settings one by one till they go away.

i will have a fiddle around later.

You can't fix it it's dynamic lighting! :O

It's built into the map itself, it's brush.

God knows why he didn't see it before...

it must be able to be turned off etc. because before this graphics card it never existed and i could see into the rafters and into b tunnels from b site (ZOMG!) just fine

It's quite a fancy effect, so it should be a setting somewhere.

Max the brightness on everything out

It's not an effect, it's a texture that's already at near max luminosity.

as you can see, i have solved this problem. just in time for cut throat!
