Requiem - Graphics glitching

**AMV Ph34r** · 01-03-2011, 01:23 AM

I just started playing Requiem the other day, and immediately noticed this really weird graphical glitch. When playing the game normally, if there is a light source on the screen (normally near the center), it replicates it, magnified, at the bottom of the screen, like so:

In addition, all light sources that I am standing near, present anywhere on the screen are replicated slightly above the original source:

Finally, whenever I right-click to inspect something, it does some really weird image replication/overlap that I can't quite describe:

I have no idea what's causing these problems, and it might even be as simple as my game's graphics settings, though I haven't had time to mess around with them yet. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think updating the drivers for the graphics card will solve this, if not I think you can turn off bloom (or it might be some other effect) in the graphics options to get rid of it.

My graphics card is up to date, and I'm still having the issue. It is a semi-old card, though, and I don't think it's being manufactured anymore. Still, Overture and Black Plague, as well as Amnesia, all worked fine.
Also, if it helps, here is a screenshot of my current graphics settings. I don't see any bloom option, and the rest of the settings are set the same as I have them in Overture and Black Plague.

Ah, silly me. Okay, I found it. Yeah, that was causing the problem. Thanks!

Weird, though, I'm pretty sure I had bloom on in Overture and Black Plague, and no problems there. Ah well, thanks for the help!
