I have a problem with textures in Crysis 2. Everything is bright! Just look at the screens.

Guns, aliens and even a fence are unnaturally white. It affects the whole map. To get rid of it I need to restart computer every time I want to play C2, which is obviously annoying. I did some research and it looks that the problem occurs after playing videos/music in the Internet.

Does anyone have similar problem?

you may have brightness set too high.

No. This setting is always the same, I have never changed that.

My Girlfriend had the same issue with her nVIDIA GTX460. I think quitting to desktop and a restart of the game or maybe a reboot of her machine did the trick. She also tried to play in windowed mode and there it never happened. After a while she switched back to full screen and never had issues again. Perhaps it's just +1 to the other 1000 bugs.
My PC is powered by a Radeon HD5870 and I never had visual issues besides the rain inside buildings (...and yes the buildings still had their ceilings).

Hmm... That's strange. I also have GTX 460... It's seems that the problem is connected with this specific card.
That's right - the reboot is a solution, but an annoying solution. I haven't tried a windowed mode, but I'll surely try. I will also write about it to Nvidia, maybe they're going to fix it with the drivers.

@mbw124 Do you also have GTX 460?

Happened to me once with my 480, had to reboot.

I have similar card gts 450 created on gtx 460

I seems its problem with drivers from nvidia.

I test 260.99 and 267.59 and this same problem exist.

Also problem was in leaked beta version crysis 2.

Somebody test new beta drivers?

I am using 270.51 and the problem still occurs.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Crytek, are you working on fixing it?

did anyone of you try the latest beta driver ? 270.51?

In nvidia control pannel you can manually adjust brightness /gamma things for games don't know if it works or something.
Never tried

I am using these drivers and nothing.

These values don't change themselves during a game. I'm afraid the problem is in the game, not in settings.

Got the same problem, also on a GTX460. Bump to let CryTek know! It's very annoying

I too am with 270.51 everything is perfect, true to say, I never had a problem even with all the old nvidia driver, it's always very well

For me a problem appears after using web browsers. After restarting when the computer is "clean" everything in OK.

Weird. I have never had a problem like this before. It MIGHT be the brightness setting, check it out. My only problem with the textures is that they're just plain bad.

This issue has been passed on. Any further info will be posted ASAP
