Recently after one of our computers needed a motherboard replacement, we noticed missing lights/water shaders in the opening scene. Also, intense aliasing was present.
This is not how the game normally runs, however on our other development PC there were no issues present. Therefore we are not sure how many of you guys are experiencing this issue.
Example 1 shows the bug present, there are no lights or water present in the opening scene.

We believe this is a Direct X issue however it may also be related to some Valve plugins we are using.
