Hi all!!

I'm playing ME1 for the first time, had several playthroughs with the second and thought I'd give this one a shot, too. But there's something very annoying and I'm wondering if it's a problem on my end, because I can't seem to find a related topic anywhere.

When firing any weapon there's like a blue flash that practically covers the whole screen. It doesn't matter when using a weapon with low firing rate, but as I like to play the soldier and use the assault-rifle, my screen in the end is constantly blue while firing. That's not just terribly annoying, because all I can see are the red triangles of the mobs on a blue screen. It's also causing me a headache and spoiling the game for me.

I have tried all kinds of in-game-settings, added or changed settings in the .ini, but nothing takes effect. I just can't imagine something like this being widely accepted.

Any help would be much appreciated.

That's not normal, sure there are muzzle flashes, but nothing like this.

[Caedmon207]

Well, in the end it is the muzzle-flash and I've just discovered its only when holding down MB2 for aiming. I suppose one could say that I'm moving closer to the muzzle, so I shouldn't be suprised that the flash covers the screen;)



I've reached what we germans would call the limits of my latin. I guess I'll have to close my eyes while shooting the geth...

[Recnamoken]

Mit deinem Latein am Ende? Da wird sich doch sicher noch was machen lassen .



(I'll keep the thread in english, so others can take a look at it too)

What are your system specs?



P.S.: If you want to talk in german, just write me a private message.

I'm okay with english. We have to live with so much Denglisch in Germany, I'm sure they can handle a little Engleutsch.

I get the same thing (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Radeon HD 4770). As you say, it only covers the screen when aiming/zoomed in. I figure it's just the way it's supposed to be. (Good thing I'm not an epileptic.)

I know this is a little odd, but you could try using different types of ammunition to see if they look better. They have different colors and/or effects and maybe one might be less headache-inducing than the others. If it's the rapid-fire speed, the Snowblind ammo you get at higher levels will slow the rate of fire down while giving you a damage bonus. If it's the color, try switching between red Incendiary/Inferno, green Chemical/Polonium, and white Cryo/Snowblind, etc.

Alternatively, work around it by using powers instead of weapons, and/or use something like the Pistol or Shotgun that doesn't need to be zoomed in all the time.

I was playing it today and i had nothing like this when zoomed in. What i see that you have both an ATI videocard. I have a nVidia videocard. Maybe it's an ATI issue.

[Caedmon207]

I've tried all ammo-types, doesn't make much of a difference. I spent the best part of the past couple of hours trying different settings, doing a complete driver-sweep etc... zilch



It never occured to me to think of it maybe being an ATI issue, so I did some digging just now. Evidently it's not a new problem and, true enough, is primarily an ATI-issue, with some nVidia-cards being effected. On the AMD-Forums there was mention of "hardware bla bla not able to use new shader-models blubb". As my card is relatively new I doubt that can be the problem.



Bottom line: It was a problem when this game was released (was it 2 years ago???) but never solved. Which tells me that I'm not gonna find a solution either. I envy anyone who can ignore or just accept an issue like this, I can't. Using every weapon but the AR is, I suppose, a workaround. But I guess I'm just to anal for that. I'd rather accept defeat than consent to compromise;)



Or as a visionary German band once sang: Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
