    L4D No Darkness?

    Hey guys, I was recently bought the game L4D for xmas and when i installed it everything was fine until i started playing. I relized that every map and game i play theres NO darkness.. Not even in the corners. Before i got the game i used to play at my friends house and he had darkness in some spots..I have none. And i know its a BIG advantage but it just doesnt FEEL the same. It kinda takes the purpose away. Does anyone know how to help me and can give me a step by step guide to stop this.. I would really appreciate it guys. Thanks alot.

    It's only been an hour and a half since you posted your problem. I'd imagine a lot of people are enjoying time off work with their family. Be patient, I'm sure someone can/will help you as soon as they can.

    Did you attempt to look at any of the graphics options? There's a gamma setting in there. Lower it to make it darker.

    If you're on the 360 version, I don't know if this applies.

    Be patient if you want more answers. Google your problem in the meantime and you may get your answers faster.

    Also, do you have the latest Direct X ?

    Theres no reason why you can't just switch out the graphics card. How much power does your computer have?

    But that statement doesn't make any sense.

    I'm no expert, but why don't you post up your full specs. If someone can't suggest something there, there are some great guys up in the Hardware forum.
