    It's a glitch if you have textures set on high. Try turning it down a notch and see what happens. Usually I tone it down to low so I don't get many issues at hand.

    The glow reflects with each other, thus creating a pseudo infinite loop that ends up being an annoyance to the player.

    Just tried that, didnt work. Did you mean lighting quality? IIRC theres a huge difference between med and high lighting quality when looking at characters.

    Try it and see what happens. I have everything on low so I can put less strain on my computer and not worry about my fans overheating.

    I tried reducing it to medium and i was still getting the reflections...are you using directx8? Because that probably explains why it doesn't reflect for you.

    Usually D X 8 is the go to comparative as the recommended setting for video cards to save on CPU resources. Because of black cipher eating up almost all of my CPU when I do raids / nilf, I'm forced to use that to prevent myself from crashing or freezing from being overloaded on that resource.

    There are rare cases where I've seen users have D X 9 as their recommended setting, because of the card being more powerful and able to handle the intense strain, usually from Nividia GTX 9X0 SC and 10X0 SC series respectively.

    In case you are wondering , SC stands for super clocked.

    If black cipher is eating up almost all of your CPU, you should throttle it. Directx9 makes a HUGE difference in image quality so i have it on though, and i get decent fps in most battles with a GTX 770M. Any semi-modern card should be able to handle DX9 too.
