    Question about lighting

    I've never really messed around w/ my detail settings too much. I think i have most all set just to medium w/ AGP off. I tried bumping some up the other day, and the game still runs smooth but my only problem is w/ the AGP. Whenever I turn the AGP on i get such horrible lighting. If I'm inside a building or something it's pitch black and I cannot see anything. How do I change the gamma, or whatever i need to get rid of this?

    AGP? What the hell? I think you mean AA. What are your PC specs?

        Don't use AA at all - you'll kill your performace on a machine with specs like yours!

        Try something like this and work up/down as needed:

        Res: 1024x768
        Terrain: Low/Med
        Effects: Med
        Geometry: Med/High
        Texture: Med
        Lighting: Med
        Dynamic Shadows: Off
        Dynamic Light: Med
        AA: Off
        Texture Filtering: Low/Med

        This should keep frame rates up, and keep the goodness like dynamic lights that help you spot the enemy easier.

        I prefer these lower details and 1600x1200 to lower resolution and high detail (With my 9800XT).

          Never use AA If you have probally... 9800 Or Below.

          Play around with your settings, set the res on about 1024x768.. Stick everything on Medium and play around with whatever
