Hello hello my problem is simple and i spotted some other people on the steam forums having the same issue. I have an AMD R7750 graphic card , all updated.... the games starts, the menu is fine, no glitches or other stuff.... but when i am actually playing the game (at the very beginning when Simon gets up) the whole room seems splitted in incredibly high light and total darkness on the otherside. Plus any screen (the phone one, the monitor etc) are totally black, not showing anything at all. I managed to proceed with the game but the exact same stuff happens later on and since the light/shadows stuff is crucial as well as being able to see what's on a screen... well yeah, i was wondering what might be the problem! Maybe dynamic lights? However, i post down here my hpl.log file... it has some errors in it, but no idea what they are for. Hope you can help soon...
