    Anyone else seeing the fx lighting scheme after the update today? I thought my fx lighting went corrupt at first, but apparently, the lights change colors and pulse depending on your health. Just thought I'd share. Also idk what else the update does.

    If you did the update, you have to allow third party program access by right clicking the alienware head in the task bar (Bottom right).
