Graphical BUG: Opaque explosions?

I've been getting this issue since I bought the game last weekend with the free weekend deal. Simply put, explosions and some other effects will cause a large black shadow instead of the concussive wave that is intended. I've updated my graphics driver to the newest version and the problem persists. It's a small bug and I wouldn't really report it but it does sometimes block my entire field of view when I'm close to a blast or something similar.

So I've included all the necessary files for your use and I've made a video to demonstrate the issue for anyone who needs to actually see it. I also have another computer which uses an nVidia graphics adapter which I'll be trying the game out on sooner or later to see if my ATI graphics adapter is the issue.

PS!: My computer specifics are at the end of the video.

Thanks boatloads for any help, and for making the game. I love it so far! <3

the black clouds are a known problem with ATI cards and i believe they are working on a fix for it

This.
Friend of mine has an ATI card and has the same thing

it is a pain in the ***, i want a nvidia card because of it

running a 5770 here and have not had an issue with it but i am also not going to update my drivers for fear of getting this exact bug

This problem seems to occur only when I have World Detail set above minimum. Not only that, but World Detail also affects my fps the most out of the settings (aside from resolution) which I am not sure if it acts the same with Nvidia cards.

Thanks for the info; hopefully all the invormation I provided can be used to fix the bug eventually.

Yeah, it's been a problem since release. I just treat those blinding clouds as a gameplay element now. :lol:

"where the hell is that assTHERE THE BLACK CLOUD! DIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
