Problem with lighting effects!

[BenW]

Well, first off here are the specs you need to know:

Sapphire 9800Pro 128MB 256bit still in guarentee
ATI Catalyst 4.8s, had the same problem with 4.9s though
DirectX 9.0c
WindowsXP Pro SP2

here's an example of my problem:


I have installed 4.8s instead of 4.9s (I think it was after i installed 4.9s that it went funny) and reinstalled DirectX

Any Ideas?

You tried reinstalling the game?

[SilentDeath]

see if turning off antialising sorts it.. Some games it just doesnt work with properly and messes up the lighting.

Edit: Is that nfs:u? that shouldnt have the problem..

Check the card isnt overheating with your finger on the back of the gpu.

Apart from that I can only think reinstall the game and dx9, and use drivercleaner.

Have you used any gfx tweaking programs like powerstrip or rage 3d?

Thanks, no i havn't tried reinstalling the game, going to wait until i have a working mouse and try it in farcry.

Yup it is NFSU, i havn't seen if it's overheating but it does it from when the game starts so i think it's unlikely.

I've already reinstalled dx9 and used drivercleaner with no luck

And nope, no tweaking programs i don't think.........might have used ATI Tool....what are the 9800 default speeds?

Thanks everyone

I get similar thing if I switch FSAA on in Toca Race Driver. Make sure you have FSAA and AF set to application preference.

[BenW]

Yup, all set to app preference

I had a play on another of my NFSU profiles and the problem wasn't there so i asume i just need to reinstall NFSU?

I've got a new mouse now so i'll try Farcry later!

I've had this problem, think the lastest game patch solved it.
