Is it pitch black (no textures, just black with character models visible), or is it just really dark? A lot of Planeshift is dark and I have to adjust my monitor\'s brightness controls accordingly. Whilst in the Sewers I have my primary monitor at 100% brightness, or if I\'m playing on my secondary, 50% brightness because it is much lighter than my primary one (stupid $20 Dell CRTs).
There is a
known bug in which the textures for the map will not load, or at least that is what I have gathered from my readings. The result is plain black with only character models and areas illumiated by lamps visible. Please use the search feature at the top of this page before posting in the future because the darkness problem has already been covered.
