Graphical Artifacts with Bright/Light things
« on: June 11, 2013, 12:30:13 am »

I get nasty graphical artifacts that tend to pop up whenever there's anything bright in the scene, such as sand, snow, the sun, the sky, etc.

Examples:

This is on an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT, with the latest drivers.

Any idea what might cause this, and/or what I may be able to change in the game settings, or my video card's settings to fix it?

Edit: It seems that it's being caused by the "Sun color & intensity" variable. Setting it to 1, and setting Ground reflectance and Exposure to their maximum values makes the graphical glitches go away.

It's probably the bloom issue on the older Nvidia cards. The bloom effect can be tuned off only in the eng.cfg, bloom_power set to 0.

Yep, that's exactly what it seems to be. Problem is gone with that set to 0. Thanks!
