Weird "ghosts" of all objects in the game
I've been wondering if this is normal or not, since its after all a "horror-type" game. But I always see like a faint "ghost" copy of every object in the game, even my flashlight, glow stick, and the little "ball" that acts as your hand. Ill try to take a screen shot if that will help you guys out. I'm running at 1.0 gamma and maxed out settings, runs great because my system is amazing, ill attach a dxdiag report as well so you can look at that if that helps at all. Like I said the only problem is this concern about the "ghosting" thing, and its definately not my monitor, I've never seen this happen before in any of my games I've play (crysis, ut3, all those other top notch games).

Thanks,

Chris Barcus

Would be good if you could take a screen shot. Not sure what you mean is happening.

Perhaps it is caused by the motion blur? Did u enable that?

If that is not the problem it might some other post effect. Try turning off post effects altogether.

Another thing to try is to download and install the latest drivers for your video card.

RE: Weird "ghosts" of all objects in the game
I accidently caused something I would call "ghosting" when I set the games resolution to a custom number.
1400x900 caused a strange 'double' object effect, while the correct value of
1440x900 fixed this.

Please -REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.

WindexGlow is very correct! This is something several users have reported.

U can change this value by opening settings.cfg in "My Documents/Penumbra/Black Plague/" and then changing the value manually.
