Description
The owners of Windows 7/10 there is an unbridgeable problem with blue lights on the reef. Because of it, people can not get through this level. Also on Windows 7/10 the color of the sky does not correspond to that which gave the developers to it.

Solution
May 1, 2016 a man by the nickname «Guzz» from «www.forums.geforce.com» was able to solve both of these problems.

See the results below.

To get the expected result, you need to replace the two files in the game.

the GOG version doesnt have the issues of the STEAM version BUT the GOG version doesnt have the correct lighting the STEAM version has. Hopefully nightdive can fix this one day.

Yes, the atmosphere in the game changes a lot after using the fix.

All these years, I had no clue the sky was supposed to be black in the prologue. I just thought it was really overcast.

Nobody forbids you to use the solution presented in this guide to fix the bug. After completing this mission, you can roll back all changes to the Steam version and continue playing. :COCrune1:

So this solution solves one problem but introduces another, that kinda sucks :/ but i get it, one issue takes priority over the other.

This is probably why another solution adjusted the script to sort of "skip" this section of the game.

This guide is dedicated to solving the problem of blue fires of magicians on Devil's reef. In the regular version of Steam, these lights are simply not there, and further passage of the game is impossible. This solution has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of lighting, but this method solves the bug.:soaangry:

No fix out there or game version has addressed the issue with the lamps, they don't light up like in the Xbox version :/ they are suppose to light up like shown in de white sky pic.
