Hi, I cant see anything since the last server update.  Fixing brightness doesn't help.  In some places it is completely pitch black and I can't see anything. Here are my stats

where exactly cant you see? screenshot?

[Halifae]

anywhere there are shadows.  And I turned shadows off
The stairs to the tavern in hydlaa are completely black and the forest is compltetely black

[edit]

a screenshot would be pointless.  If you know what a black screen looks like there's your screenshot.

well since the server has very little to do with the brightness of the maps i have no idea what to suggest.

It happens to me too depending on the time of day in-game.

I dont know if this will help guys but i get this happen to me on my PC i have a Nvidia 7300le graphics card. I found if you turn the gamma up in the graphics card settings suddenly it comes to life then you can turn the gamma back down its a bit wierd i know but give it a go see what happens

Have you tried -fullbright?  I stopped using it because when the game is working properly, the lighting looks really good, and -fullbright makes everything boring, but if it's a lighting issue then -fullbright has been known to solve lighting issues.

please dont recommend to anyone --fullbright anymore, it does not work as has been posted many times already.

News to me.  Thanks for the tip!

Is there any way for end users to get it working again?  I used to use it all the time when I encountered darkness bugs.

no it will NEVER work again due to map changes nothing the end user can do to get it working again.

Rest in peace, -fullbright.  You will be missed.
