Lighting Problem - bored2tears - 06-10-2012

I have been struck with the infamous lighting problem (which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTCIcHv0ees&feature=channel&list=UL). Basically, if I stare at a light, it is fine, but when I move around, the light and shadows bounce around oddly.

My graphics card is a Radeon X600. The game runs smoothly, but this problem is really ruining the fun.

Update X600 to the latest possible drivers

I think I may be stupid, but how do I do that. I have catalyst installed, but do not know what to do with it. Tongue

We need more info like operating system, desktop or laptop and hpl.log as said in the guides.

RE: Lighting Problem - bored2tears - 06-10-2012

Sorry for not posting that stuff.

HPL Log:

Spoiler below!

I have Windows 7, and my computer is an Intel Pentium D CPU 3.40 Ghz.

Edit: I have 3Gb of RAM

Edit Edit: I have a 32-bit system.

Make sure you have this installed:

I do have that installed. I don't know if I am supposed to use it somehow, but I did install it.

At start search for dxdiag and run it. Go to Display and take a screenshot of it, I want to see it. Also, attach me again the HPL.log file after the problem occurs because the last one only shows you going to the main menu.

From looking at it, I can see that the error comes from it not having the particle source for lights, I assume?

Is it a desktop or a laptop?
