Is the beginning level(prison cell) supposed to be pitch black? I've got color for health & mana bars and color inventory, but can't see a darn thing around me. I've made it to the trapdoor w/ only the map to guide me. When & how do I get light? Help please, I'm totally in the dark! lol:mad:

I'm not sure whether this is bad news or good news, but it's not supposed to be pitch black... you should most definitely be able to see your surroundings.
Check that you've updated to the latest patch (v1.17), and from then I guess you're probably going to be looking at video driver issues...

sounds like you have an ATI card:
if the update doesn't do the trick, open the cfg.ini using NotePad (or another text editor) in the ARX dir and change the [MISC] settings so they match:
[MISC]
softfog=1
clearnearcorrection=0
forcenoeax=0
forcegdi=0
forcemetaltwopass=0
forcezbias=0
newcontrol=1
forcetoggle=0
changing one of these settings did the trick for me, not sure which one, but I have a strong hunch that it's the softfog one.
