Turning enviromental texture off?

[Windexglow 10]

I'm not sure the name of it, but it's the "reflection" the game shows when looking at anything which is remotely shiny.

It reflects back a forest - which is silly when you're

A: in a city

B: in an apc

C: In the middle of the bloody ocean

Seems like they reeeally like it, as it's on nearly anything metallic..

So is there a way to turn this texture off?

No. But you could probably replace the said texture with something that has an all black alpha channel to kill the effect. I can't remember in which pbo the texture is though.

I would like to see this effect heavily reduced in some patch. That shouldn't be too hard as all it takes is a small change in rvmats. Properly used this effect is very good however.

hmm , both of those shots are from inside. I like this effect and I think it looks good when you are outside (which you are most of the time). If they do change it I hope they give us sliders to adjust to our own preference.
