Maybe it happens in other places as well, and I just don’t notice it because it’s rare that I need a flashlight outside. I only turned it on on accident here in any case.
Flashlight Off:
Flashlight On:
I’ve noticed that turning on the flashlight in any half life 2 installment will do some strange things to the colors of decals and other entities in the map. I assumed it was a feature to give a more high contrast look to dark sections, but it would be nice if someone found a way to turn this off.
I noticed that strangely enough it seems the environment returns to normal when using the crossbow scope, even with the flashlight on. Maybe it could help tracking down the problem.
