    That seems like a bug.....but it would be awesome to have games on rouge planets, where there is no light.

    It is pitch black.
    You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

    Freaking awesome! Altough i hope you'll be able to fix it for you. Otherwise you'd better start some fires! :)

    Would be cool to have some kind of game which only lets you see radar blips and things in the headlights of the units.

    It's terrible and happening every game since this gamma build on mac. I find it impossible to get through a game as I can't see my units and then get steamrolled.

    The Ambient Occlusion setting will do that to me on the dark side of the planet.

    Did you change all of your settings? Do you have mods enabled?
    It looks cool, but that's unplayable really.

    Turn off Ambient Occlusion. There's a bug on some systems with our ambient occlusion method we're still exploring.

    Not sure if it was today's Steam update or turning off the ambient occlusion but I can now play (and get smashed by the AI) again!!
