I have a Geforce 8800GTS card. Until recently I have had a ton of trouble with anything relating to the Source Engine. But I found a fix that fixed most of my problems with the games.

I do, however, have one issue with Dark Messiah. On the stages where there is sunlight, for instance the Necromancer base in the following pic, the sunbeams seem to be really thick and overly bright. Is this normal?

Also, in the first Stonehelm stage, there are a few windows which seem to flicker uncontrollably (inside one of the houses). The big windows in the Necro base (the ones without the sunlight streaming through) seem to do the same thing as well.

So, is this all normal?
