    Is it just me or is night so dark you can't even see where your units/buildings are without the icons.

    Do you have Intel HD 3000, or 4000? It's a known "Bug" with the two graphics cards, turn off ambient occlusion and it'll be brighter.

    Well my drivers were updated today since the new ones came out, and it seems to be the AO got bugged. Its normal after I turned it off.

    EDIT: I'm on a GTX 680 btw

    Hm.. Then I'm not quite sure, try disabling ambient occlusion anyway.

    Turn off AO for now until it is resolved. There is a problem with NVIDIA cards that have the latest driver that causes them to be too dark when AO is on.

    I just updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and now I have this bug too. Looks like I will have to roll back to the old driver.

    Same with Intel HD series, though the problem has been around for much longer for them. :p
