Hey guys,

I threw together some old junk to create a desktop and found the game is visually much more beautiful than on my laptop. However, I’m seeing these strange circles of light where there should be a ‘glow’ (like from a torch or other light source) and shadows look like squares in various shades of gray (screenshot attached). I’ve got the settings as low as they go in game but I don’t know much about video cards and settings. I tried playing with settings via the nvidia control panel with no luck.

The card is an Nvidia Quadro FX 4500. I know it’s not at all suited for games but other than this one issue it really runs the game nicely. I tried the latest driver as well as a few others. I also tried the GeForce driver of the card that runs on similar hardware (7600 GTX if I recall) and the basic driver that Windows will use if you don’t manually install one.

I’m running on Win 7 Pro x64, 8GB ram. Latest chip drivers, latest BIOS, all Windows Updates installed.

I was hoping one of you folks that know more than me would know if there is some specific driver, tweak, or setting that I might need to change to fix this.

Thanks!!
