double check to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

iv tryed to find out if theres a new driver in the past but the support for my card is crap, i have a trident cyberalladin 32MB 128 bit integrated graphics card. the manufactures web site has no info but other sources have been conflicting on wether or not there has been an update.
    i had a issue before the upgrade to 0.3.13, all the textures were compleatly dark but i fixed it by using the \"-fullbright\" option in the shortcut target feild.
    if its not a driver issue any idea what it could be

If you have an integrated graphics card, you do not meet the minimum requirements - thus things will not show up correctly.

I managed to even develop for planeshift with only a intergrated gfx card :) However, the rest of my system was above average which helped take up the slack.

If you are using the -fullbright workaround, try without it. I have heard of incompatablities in that, and it should not be needed as much with the newer lighting.

Does it look similar to the screenshot here? Maybe you have the same issue.

iv tryed the removing the -fullbright option already, it hasnt helped i think the whole darkness problem might have been sorted with the new version, this problem is a different issue i think
