I get those dark vehicles sometimes ever since the new update it happens in goldrush,Xmountain,training yard and even the main menu,maybe it has to do with the lighting of those maps ?

I turned off all my graphics settings to play with the new patch in order to try and prevent the game from lagging and as a consequence I experience the same blacked out vehicles. I think it's to do with unchecking one the lighting options in the game settings. I recall a lot of maps being rebuilt due to something called static lighting, I'm sure devs/map makers can elaborate.

I too run ultra-low settings and I get black hovercraft on launch. Anyone else get that?

Same here since the last patch not quite sure what is causing this

I think it has something to do with the composite dynamic lighting that kicks in when you're in a shadow, that blacks out the vehicle. To confirm this theory, please answer my question;

Do you have blacked out vehicles in certain area's in the map and not in other area's ? Yes or no?

If yes, then I know the solution

If no, we'll have to investigate further

[[TmX]Super-Kh]

that's a yes for me

Strange thing is, I'm pretty sure Training Yard isn't built using static lighting though.

That is weird indeed, did something code related change for lighting?
