You'll have to enable a bit of AA to fix it.
With ATI cards, the key combo SHIFT + PG UP/DN seems to allow one to set the sun glare to one's own liking.
OK, I'll try that...
What exactly does it do? Do you know?

I learned the trick from these forums. As far as I know, it allows you to smoothly increase/decrease SH's built-in software AA effects. In my experience, it kind of resembles a 'bloom' effect.
So it's basically the same as turning on AA on the graphics card, then. Which explains why nothing is happening when I try it (I have AA forced, so presumably SH3 can't override that).
BTW, out of curiosity, does SH3 save your settings when you exit and reload the game, or do you have to do the shift+pgup thing again every time you start SH3?

Edit: Ah, it's working now... and you're right, it's more like a bloom/blur effect than actual AA. Hmmm, learn something new every day gonna have to play with this now...
