Texture / Lighting Problems

[{GD}Shmoo]

Update - I uninstalled everything ATI related and just installed the ATI 6.11 driver and nothing else (I use PowerStrip anyways so do not need the Catalyst software). Played last night with no problems but did not get to any of the maps where I had real problems. I will update once I play more and let everyone know if I had to go back to the 6.9 driver.


FYI - I have the ATI All-In-Wonder X800XL 256MB PCIE x16 card

On Muttrah (and other maps) the shadows are so dark, but the soldiers on it are lighted - only by is this problem ?!?

I had similar problems with 0.3 particularly on night maps, turning made dark areas light up and light areas go dark and the sort of psychedelic sand bags with 2 Nvidia gfx cards 6800gs and 7600gt.

Haven't noticed it in v0.4 but then again I haven't played a night map yet in v0.4.

I guess this is a problem with the textures (black textures / no textures at all?), and/or with the lighting (no lighting on ground / too much lighting on grass?). I don't know. I've never seen this before in vBF2 or PR 0.3x. So far I've had this problem with AlBasrah and Qwai River.

Does anyone else have these problems?
Does anyone know how to fix it?

My video settings:
- Lighting: Medium
- Dynamic Shadows: Medium
- The rest: High
- 1280x1024
- 4xAA
on an ATI RADEON X850XT PCI-E with Catalyst 6.10 drivers.

I got the same card and the same problems!

I'm going to get that older driver and try it out.

6.14.10.6542

This is the current driver i have.

PS can anyone explain why ati doesnt have their own files on their website? im sorry that's just retarded!!!!!
