Graphics glitch while in Titan corridors

[PhoenixRaptor]

When I'm going into the Titan corridors from our own deck or through a spawn, I can see fine up until an exact moment when I cross an invisible line and the HUD becomes completely black except for some identity icons. If I back up immediately (straight back), I get my vision back. If not, I can be trapped in this mode for minutes until I finally use the mini-map to find my way back to visible territory.

Am I alone in having this problem? Or is it some commonly known glitch with a specific graphic setting that can be fixed? I didn't have this problem originally but it appeared either because (a) I started changing settings or (b) got a new graphics card or (c) maybe it's server dependent?

In any case, I can't defend a Titan as long as this glitch hits me. Any known solutions out there?

it's your lighting settings. Fiddle around with them (be it lower or higher) and it should fix the problem

Thanks, I'll try tweaking each in turn, starting with one that I seem to remember the Tweak Guide recommended turning "off". Unfortunately, I can't test these out in singleplayer mode because I have another issue there. So testing individual graphics changes has to be done in multiplayer mode at the moment.

The first few times I used the game, I was in singleplayer mode to learn. Once I did my first multiplayer session, my singleplayer became unusable. I can get all the way into the map, but it comes up with zero tickets on either side and won't let me spawn. Haven't started to diagnose that one yet. / PR

I took the shotgun approach and set all the graphics to "Medium" to start, having bought a GB of RAM and a new graphics card this week. That set a few lightings from Low to Medium and turned Enhanced Lighting Effects on. This indeed fixed the problem, though I don't know which specific setting made the difference.

As I tested this and went down the corridor, there was a brief hesitation at the exact point where the changeover occurs. So there's definitely a graphics boundary of some kind that you cross as you descend into the Titan from your landing platform.

Thanks again for the advice - it worked. / PR
