Major lighting bug

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 5:55 am

I got Crysis 2 today and everything was dandy.

Now I loaded up the game and all my lighting is messed up.

I have an Nvidia GTX 560 with 270.61 drivers (I updated when I found the problem) on XP. This card has produced many lighting errors before, including no textures in Shogun 2 and errors on my custom windows theme.

Is there a fix?

Hey Ive had a similar problem back in Far Cry days with an Nvidia card - basically everything was BLUE.

If you're drivers are all up to date, try downgrading to the next-best driver that worked with your XP theme/shogun 2

Unfortunately none of them have. There's only like 5 versions of the drivers available for the 560 and they all get the same problems.

The theme problem does not occur when the drivers are uninstalled.

Think I might have a bad card?

How long have I had it? I got it on release, so late January.

It's a BFG Twin Frozr II.

hmmm... Did you always have issues with it? Or was it just recently (Crysis 2/Shogun 2)?

I mean 560 is a superb card - especially when SLI'd it kicks 590's ass

Always had the theme issue, Shogun 2 never worked. I recently discovered that GTAIV gets similar glitches in the lighting.

I found a quick fix, though, for Crysis 2 - if I change the resolution the lighting fixes itself.
