    I am trying to play the new hitman and I keep getting REALLY bad glare off of objects. Sometimes almost all of my screen will either go completely white or black out. If I move I can see again just with REALLY bad flashing. I turned the graphics to lowest settings and it got better but it is still very far from good. My computers specs are well above the min requirements for the game so there has to be a settings issue right? Thanks in advance for the help. Sorry if it is a stupid question. O and if it makes a difference I downloaded the game off steam.

    Could be a bad graphics card, have you tried contacting support?

    This sounds strange, I play with solid 30 fps and the following settings:

    Quality level: Ultra
    Shadow Qualitiy: Ultra
    Texture Quality: High
    Texture Filter: Anisotropic 16x
    Reflections: High
    FXAA: enabled
    Global Illumination: enabled
    Tessellation: enabled
    Level of Detail: Ultra
    Depth of Field: High
    SSAO: High
    Onboad Laptop screen, 1600x900, fullscreen, 60hz, 8x MSAA

    Maybe you should update your graphic card driver to the latest version, and check if this kind of failure occurs while playing other games too.

    It was a driver update. I just got done playing Assassins Creed 3 and did not have any issues and I had updated the drivers a few months ago so it did not cross my mind. Thanks!!

    I'm glad that you got that sorted out so easily. :) :) :) Just for our records, what driver is giving issues and which one is working fine?
