Anyway the Fade is great, i play it yesterday and i realy hope uwe don't change them much, only the hit detection on ALL players is a bit weird.
Oh and yes, the glitchy texts and textures are fixed if you choose low quality but the game looks a bit...like hl2 on medium then.

Had a funny game - the MACs went totally buggy and couldn't be controlled at all, so the marines had no chance and they got pissed off at the comm too :D

The current (out of date) SparkE has a color grading thingy and which contains color balance, brightness and contrast settings. Haven't really used it yet, well I just did and it looks bugged... Might work ingame, but in the editor it goes all funky when fiddling around with brightness and contrast...
