[BUG] Lighting is not working corretly

from Elemental Forums

I have just installed LH and the have been fighting to get the lighting correct since. I can currently on see the highlights in the terrain and units, shadows seem to be opaque instead of translucent. This is a step up from the default settings with Stylized Lighting turned on. With Stylized Lighting turned on, all I see is a blank expanse of off-white cloud and the models disappear.

I have an Radeon HD 6950 and updated Catalyst to 13.12, driver version is 13.251-131206a-166389C-ATI. I am running Windows 7 x64. It was downloaded from Steam and should be on the latest stable patch.

I have done some searching of the forums and did not see my exact problem. I have tried turning on and off the full screen option, I have played around with the brightness, contrast, and ambient lighting, I have changed the screen resolution, I have changed all my video card settings to 'controlled by application', and did a full reinstall. I am able to play the previous game, Elemental - Fallen Enchantress without issue.

I also use a Radeon HD graphics card and my lighting has been all messed up since the patch.

It looks like your card doesn't support Anti-Aliasing.  Can you try disabling AA and see if it fixes the issue?

Disabling AA has helped.

AA is supported on these cards mine can go up to x8, but obviously it has issues with how Elemental handles this feature. So will this feature be fixed some day?
