Going off topic with the other guy; I've just seen the line

<Player_Lantern
CastShadows = "False"

going through game.cfg

Not tried True yet but I'll check it out tomorrow

It'd be lame if you could just chill out by a light for a few minutes and be in tip-top shape.

Kicking back beside a light source does regain sanity actually. On my first play through, I was overly concerned about my sanity, and would often find myself chilling under a light source until I regained some sanity. It always worked. I never went to full sanity though. Light only seems to regain a certain amount. I also noticed that the natural white light from outside sources regains sanity faster than candlelight? Can anyone else confirm?

Maybe try to set the ssao detail to high and the samples to 128 Tongue
maybe that work

Well , dunno if you were kidding (becuz of the smily Dodgy ) , but i"ve tried the above and all it gave me was a very bad framerate and NO better light-effects ....

Guess i"ll stick to 16 samples on my laptop and wait for a mod then :
