Left 4 Dead - Left eye glare?
In L4D, if I look at objects in certain lighting at certain angles (like where the guns/ammo are laying under the light on the roof at the beginning of the first campaign), the vision in my left eye changes and looks like someone cranked the HDR and gamma up or something. Once i look away from that area, or at least get it out of the center area of my screen, the picture goes back to normal in the left lens. No other games have this sort of problem, and it only happens in the left eye. What would cause this? I played this game back when i first got 3dvision and dont remember this problem.

This is a weird problem ...it happens to me but only occasionally! Jumping full out of the game and then restarting [i]usually[/i] makes it stop! Other times it also takes a reboot. This kind of activity is usually the result of some kind of memory usage problem but with games it could be a beatch to track down, even if you had access to and could read the source code. The kind of problem that gives QA departments fits.

Keep hitting the search engines - I hope you can find more than I'm able to give, beyond knowing that it exists for other folks, too.

Only thing that worked for me is turning off AA completely. Then the problem completely goes away.
