I just realised that none of the objects in the game are shiny to me! It might be my ATi Radeon 9700 Pro... Does anyone else have any suggestions to fix this problem or does anyone else get no shiny?

Plz Help! :(

I have ATI Radeon 9000 pro.
And there seems to be some slight change in the texture yes.. but not what its meant to look like.. more like a white fogginess depending on the angle Im looking from.

I don't know if this is the issue but I found that one preference was not quite labeled right - turning off 'Bumpiness' in the preferences will also disable shiney.

Yes I proved it, Bump goes off and shiny goes off :(

I've compared snapshots with a few people with ATI cards and for them the shininess looks very dull and the colors are somewhat banded, whereas on my Nvidia card the whole world looks like candy. Sorry ATI people. :(

Shiny just flat out *doesn't work* for ATI people (or at least myself).

Bumpy turns on Shiny? Hmmmm
