I have this problem with most of the maps I download and its VERY irritating. Everywhere I walk there the floor is black. Like there is a black "spotlight" on me. Please Help!

Yes I need this answer also
Alpha told me that it had to do with no deatailed texture but that would mean that a lot of maps also don't have detaild teextures

Yup, lots of people neglet it. It makes maps look a lot better when you have them though. It's not a computer probllem, E_S.

It's some kind of problem with the graphics card i think. When i played this game on a friends computer, which doesn't have a good graphics card, i got the black floor problem some times. But only on some maps.

I'd be curious to know what's this GPU model you're talking of...

Actually, it's not a graphics card problem. I discovered the answer to this by screwing around with the options:
Go to the Video Options screens, and turn on Bump Mapping.
That's it. Well, it worked for me, anyway.

Syndacyte' , you should reduce all your graphics' options to the lowest settings, play at SWBF , and then, set each of them to the "medium " level, and so on, until you see the "black ground " problem... Then, you'll be able to determine what option causes this glitch...

I thought it was a good way to fix such a problem... But unfortunately, it requires a certain time...

Yep, but troubleshooting does, and this is the best way to find a problem...unless the problem is a combination of stuff, such as if Texture qual is on low and ground qual on low, then the problem comes up. Buecause then there are a lot of combinations that you have to try, and that takes time.

I agree with that... But hopefully, SWBF II can configure visual settings to fit with your computer's abilities...
