The Poer Source brightness

jarenkincaid

I don't know when it happened, because I've never had this problem before, but now when I attempt to play through The Power Source (penultimate Romulan story arc mission), the lava in the tunnels is overwhelmingly bright such that nothing in the game is visible. I even turned the in-game brightness all the way down, and it didn't change the luminosity of the lava. As such, the game is unplayable and my remaining characters (including my new temporal agent) cannot play through until this problem is fixed.

"The Power Source", "Sphere of Influence" and "Blood of Ancients" use the same map and all 3 have the same issue, which isn't surprising.

This is a known issue and is being investigated internally.

While were waiting for a fix. Turn Lighting 2.0 off in the Graphics options tab. Turn it back on whenever your finished with a New Romulus gate map.

Thank you for your help. Yes, turning off the lighting worked.
