For at least the last two or so weeks, I've been experiencing a visual bug in the Forest Colony maps where:

• when I am near or in either side of the tunnel's entrances, I experience either:
  
  • a severe dimming in lighting.
    
  • complete black out, except for my HUD elements.

Oddly enough, my friends spectating me, do not experience this bug.

Curious. I have always known the tunnel to be lacking in visuals (I find it rather dark and turning on Thermal or Night vision modes hardly makes a difference), but I have never experienced such a thing.
If spectators are not seeing it, perhaps it is a hardware/software/someotherclientsidething issue?

Funny thing is, after the patch, visuals in the tunnel improved (at least in normal vision).

That aside, I'm not really sure. I haven't done anything to client-side files except patch.

Tried turning your shadows to low ?

I've also experienced the same bug. I notice it more when heading toward the Sima end of the map.

All my settings are turned to low.

There's a spot on the tunnel on one side where the water level and ground level are bugged and kinda swap back and forth. It's on the side near the boxed start (as opposed to the hill start) and towards the rest of the battle field.
In general, visuals in the tunnel are useless, as you can barely see anything, and heat/night vision don't work as well as they should. FPS also takes a huge hit.

This happened to me in that tunnel

^ Had that happen to me a handful of times in the same place, as well.

Same here.
