[0.12.15] Night Vision makes lights completely black

[bigyihsuan]

As you can see, the night vision is on and the black area is a place where lights are on.

I have the same issue. I never could get the night vision to be effective in any way. In the dark, it barely increased the visibility and anytime I got near my base with lights, it was worse than useless because it makes you blind. I just recently started playing though, so I figured there was something I wasn't doing right. This has occured for me since 0.12.12. I can't say about any earlier versions.

What version of windows, and what graphics card do you have?

The game has severe graphics issues when using an AMD card on windows 10, this could be related.

Yep, AMD on Windows 10. I think that's the problem.

Driver section shows like it's a very old one - can you try to get more recent drivers for your GPU?
Recent drivers have versions 8. something.

You can grab those from http://www.amd.com

It can be little bit confusing. Whole string "4.5.13399 Compatibility Profile Context 15.201.1151.0" is result of glGetString(GL_VERSION). So the first version is OpenGL version, driver version is the other number. And I think that is one of the latest stable drivers. I will check tomorrow on our AMD machine.

Yeah it's my bad - Direct3D has different version schema apparently. I don't have the strange issues on directX so staying on it.
Mine on OpenGL presents this:
