Colored Shadows

[sholmes01]

In some areas of the game (like in dark rooms) the shadows have a colorful tint to them that does not look natural. The shadow might look a little redish or maybe greenish. If I turn on the flashlight then the walls look normal. I have an ATI AIW9800Pro with CAT 4.12. It did it with 4.9 also.

Anyone else see/fix this?

Thanks....

I noticed wha you mean. when I starteed HL2 I went in to the brightness controls and it shows how dark you should have your monitor by having text say "Barly visible" and you do so by turning it down, well I had m monitor up all the way, so in HL2 I had to turn it all the way down, all im saying is turn your brightness down, things look better darker anyway.

Thanks for the info. Mine was set for 2.0. You can really see the colors when set to the lightest. Now it is at 2.5 and the colors look just fine.

If it's a custom map, check your environment light isn't tinted a bit. A colored environment light produced yellow shadows in my custom map.
