Hi, does anyone know how to workaround this issue?

On some maps (river city/forest colony) if im hit by certain weapon types my screen darkens to black and I cant see anything and it takes 5+ seconds to lighten up again. SSRM2'S, SRM's and others tend to do it. I know the game is suppose to darken a bit but my screen goes unplayable when this happens.

My old trick to fix it was just to play in thermal as that mode doesnt have the issue. Now they are finally fixing thermal I guess im outta luck.

Are there any settings I could alter to disable this stupid effect?

I have an NVIDIA GTX 460 and I run windowed mode with most options turned off if that helps.

I have a similar problem sometimes; but it occurs with outgoing PPC/LRM fire; my screen darkens as I fire due to light bloom effects off my own cockpit.

Yes I haven't been able to fix this. It's not actually supposed to make your screen go black. I suppose it is to make the lasers, etc. brighter. Very annoying though, my score would probably be 30% higher across the board if not for this BUG.

I have an issue with everything looking ghostly, it's like one of the bg layers is not properly displaying.. my mech and all mechs have no color I can see the lights and map in my cockpit but everything that should be metal is ghostly white.

buildings trees and parts of mountains are this way too...
