Static Shadows = EXTREMELY Dark

In Muttrah City

Is it just me? or does everyone's Muttrah City look like this inside buildings (which this screenshot was) and in any other area a building casts a shadow

Ive tried different display drivers, Vanilla BF2 is all fine, everything else I have (CoD2, Lock On, HL2, Red Orchestra, Oblivion) All runs 100% Top Notch fine.. I havnt tried any other maps except Al Basrah but the second i get into that map, from the time i click Join Game to the time i struggle to click disconnect, i get one frame every, 9 seconds or so

Ive tried scores of options changing display settings, just about everything in the book, Im leaning towards its the map and everyone's is like this but every time i bring it up in game no one else has the problem, so i thought id post about it here

ye that would be because when i did the lightmapping for muttrah I was a noob in that area (was over a year ago now) and didnt add any "light fill" so everything is 100% dark in shaddow...

Yeah muttrah is a lot harder to look down alleyways like that for me. I have shadows and dynamic light on.

Maybe a new lightmap might be more fun :)
