Lost in the dark...

[NOSKills]

I keep having issues with some maps being too dark in certain areas. For instance, when I am playing on Sharqi, if I go into the TV station or the construction site, I can't see squat. How can I change the settings so that I can brigthen my graphics up without changing the settings on my monitor. I tried changing the settings on my monitor and it sorta helped but when I went back to my desktop, I needed sunglasses to bare the brightness.

BF2's video setting options are not very straightforward. So can someone tell me which video setting to change and what to change it too? Is it lighting/dynamic lighting? Or is it just suppose to be so dark that I can easily lose my bearings in these areas of the maps?

Change dynamic lighting to at least medium, high if you can. I believe that fixed it for me.

Also, make sure your video drivers are up to date.

GO to options, video settings, i forget which one, but The lower levels of the carrier and the TV station are darkened areas. THe terrain was better than before, but it lagged my gameplay, so i switched it back to medium

Same here. Its almost like someone turned a light on inside buildings. The first time i noticed it was looking into a hangar on clean sweep, was bright as day.

Re: Lost in the dark...

eh...I bet you what you're seeing is exactly how it's supposed to be.

Several corners and allyways in this game are indeed very dark. This is the effect of static shadows, but players can easily gain a MAJOR Advantage over users with graphics on maxed becuase with "Lighting" on low or medium(?), These very dark static shadows are completely removed, and dark, black areas are transformed into amazingly bright, vibrant, contrasted areas.

I personally was flabberghasted by the difference, but Just can't stand the terrible look.
