Technical problems and solutions!!! (all problems and errors are stored here)

[Slingshaft]

I have an issue with the retail (DVD) version of the game that I did NOT have with the demo. The issue is that the ground appears as all black, and the textures appear a little washed out.

I don't know if this is becuase the demo was a more recent build (I seemed to notice this in the .ini file), because again the demo was fine.

I have an ATI Radeon 4870 card (512 mb). Tried it with both the most recent Catalyst 8.9 drivers and with the older 8.8 drivers. Also tried setting various options in display options without success.

Any help would be appreciated.
