Graphical Problems

[FunnyStarGalloper]

Hello everyone. For the past few weeks, I've had to look at an ugly version of MTA and I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Here's some examples of what I mean (excuse the giant pictures; I snapped them off of my desktop):

• Transparency: Whenever anything on the map is transparent, a border with the current color of the sky will surround it.
  
  Darkness: No matter where darkness is, it will always be in a lighter color.
  
  Sky: This is especially noticeable at night. The sky will resemble something from and old Atari game and doesn't change depending on the view.
  
  Lighting: The light is more noticeable by showing its rings (how do I describe this...IT'S BAD).
  
  Textures in general: This shows off the different gradients on the textures themselves.
  
  

Does anyone know what the problem could be? My guess is that it's stuck in 256-colors mode. I'm also running this in an 800 x 600 x 16 window (because full-screen keeps crashing on me) with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 430.

use 32-bit color mode (modes that are x32).

I just checked...turns out it is in 32-bit. And 16-bit doesn't look any better or worse.

Your resolution is 800x600x16 if I'm not wrong, set it to 800x600x32, and install the latest Graphics drivers.

Hey, it worked!

Although this is technically my fault for having the window bigger.
