I tried it but didnt work oh well. I guess we will have to wait for the devs to make a fix.

For some reason I feel the devs are not going to fix this and we are out $40.

I ran across that issue in Beta, but could not reproduce it again. Can you provide GFX card driver version, and a SS of your in game video settings please?

For myself, this occurred in Beta while using ATI-AMD GFX card and the 11.8 drivers in Crossfire, and there were two distinct looks. The one posted above, which upon looking upwards, the graphics turned normal. Looking down (to aim at someone) caused the look above or a slightly different one where no buildings could be seen but weapons floated around as well as silhouettes of soldiers.

If memory serves me correctly, adjust the shadows/lighting. The difficult part is that many of the graphics changes require a restart and of course, click on restart only stops the game instead of actually restarting it...

As stated above, deleting the cfg file and reseting all your options may cure it.

I also have the problem of the black sky, and nothing I've done (which includes defragging both computer and game, downloading newest drivers, verifying the game cache, ect.) appears to have helped it in the least. I am running a AMD 5200+ and any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated!

Here we go. This is pre patch but still happening. Not on all maps, some.

My specs are
My specs are a little over Minimum
Nvidia 7600Gt
AMD athlon Dual core 4600+ 2.4Ghz
3GB ram

I can run on medium and it works PERFECT!

It is just the damn black. It replaces all the sky/sunlight it seams.

This pic is pre patch on low settings. (Reduced to low to see if it fixed it, did not)
I am not playing on medium, not custom settings, just medium.

Shoot, I am half tempted to bring this back. :|
Meh... Not sure what to do. My comp plays it fine... I just hate the Black!!!
I guess I can wait and hope they patch it. :|

I'm having this same problem too (all all very very low settings) and I quess that it's simply reason of old/bad graphics card. (by using word old I don't mean necessarily much used card, but also many years ago released cards, out of date cards).
I'm having Nvidia GeForce 7300GT all drivers updated and I got aswell this black sky problem in some maps. But I'm not complaing since my card is far too bad for game like this, but coz I don' have money for new box, I gotta survive with this.
As there's been many issues wih graphics performances and bugs even for ultra computers, I think that it takes a lot of time for TW to get ALL graphics issues fixed. And we are just minority. But hopefully they note us some day, hopefully I get/have enough money for new box some day.

 

[flyboy_fx]

Same here!

 

[Toaster]

Can someone from tripwire at least say they are going looking into it or something cause its game breaking for the people who are getting it.

 

[flyboy_fx]

Please!!!

 

[Borat]

I have exactly the same problem as this. GF7950GT and all gfx settings at minimum, running in a small window. How much lower can I go???

So what's the deal here?

 

[Deghiiij]

no one knows anything i guess...
