Buggered Shaders

[Jimmeh]

Just reinstalled Half-Life 2, first time I've played in months and it seems all the shaders are completely buggered. They're all really bright, much brighter than usual, from tiles on the walls to the water. I've tried messing about with the in-game settings but no luck. Quick example:

Water's the most obvious example as in most places it looks like glowing radioactive waste.

Any ideas?

Validate?
steam://validate/220

If that doesn't work, maybe mat_fullbright is turned to 1.

Nein, still buggered. Think I'll reinstall and see what happens. Thanks anyway.

Edit - No luck I'll try getting the latest catalyst drivers.

It's like that for me too after the new update...

After looking around the Steam forums, seems a lot of people are having the same problem after the 64-bit update. Damn ye!!
