it is called the bloom effect. it makes the graphics look kindof blurry
and makes the collors a bit more fuzzy. that way, the game seems to be
somewhat more realistic and look prettier. a lot of people turn it off because
it takes a lot from your graph card or cause they just like the harder graphs.

i can play sro fine as long as i dont have both shadows on detailed and bloom
effect on. if i turn of one of the two, the game runs fine. if i turn on both of
em, the game lags like hell.

How do you get to video options Cause i lag like hell and want to see if bloom is on. Game ran fine on my other pc, but not his one and it's a little better than my old one.

press ESC to go to the options screen. in there, click the video options or
whatever its called tab. i think it even starts with that tab

in there, you can click bloom on / off and put shadows on high instead of
details. i nowadays run it with shades on high and bloom effect on. otherwise
i almost cant play... damn shadows

ok,um that didn't help m lagging. Could their be an option in my pc itself that is causinbg the lags? I know it's not my internet connection cause it's the same as my last pc.

in-game, press ESC to get into the menu.

the top button sais OPTIONS. click it.

after that i believe that you are on the graphics/video settings (you can know
this cause you see the screen resolution somewhere), and otherwise you
have to press the tab that sais video settings or so.

next step: check what settings are on high and what settings are on low. you
can either set it on standard settings (low, medium, high) or you can manually
change settings.

oh ok well for some reason my geforce 7600 cant handle it.

Are you using Vista? Because vista has this problem with nvidia cards running the settings on highest.
