Issues fixed
Yellow Screen Issue
For Nvidia users[citation needed]
|
- Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
- Go to Manage 3D settings.
- Select Application-controlled for Antialiasing - Mode under Global Settings.
- Ensure there is no custom profile for The Darkness II under the Program Settings tab overriding the global option you just set.
- Play.
|
For AMD users[citation needed]
|
- Open the Catalyst Control Panel.
- Set Anti-aliasing to be application-controlled.
- Play.
|
For OS X users[citation needed]
|
- Unfortunately, no solution has been found for fixing this issue in the OS X version of The Darkness II, and developer support seems to have ceased. The issue is likely to be caused by Intel integrated graphics cards, and may not occur if using Nvidia or AMD cards.
