Artifacts caused by lit particles at night (muzzle flashes, fire, explosions)

[Remer 1]

I'm getting a bug that no one else seems to have reported. Basically what happens is on night missions, when I fire my weapon, the muzzle flash creates some weird effect that darkens the screen GREATLY and turns all of the foliage black for a split second. The same happens with explosions and fire and any particle that emits light. It's awful and makes the game unplayable.

Does it look anything like this?
