The Night Sky Has to be Darker

Way too bright in mission 7. There is no reason to use the night vision scope. I can see the enemies as clear as day.

Still too bright. The interior spaces are pitch black in some areas and the sky is blue. Reshade might be necessary. I don't know how well Rebellion fixes things. They are deluged with bugs so I don't see them improving the look of the game anytime soon.

Did you adjust your games brightness settings before playing? EVERY modern game has a setting for this, and you're supposed to set the brightness so one of the icons is either NOT VISIBLE, OR JUST BARELY VISIBLE. Do this and the night settings are all but perfect. I did that, and now I have a reason to use the Night Vision scopes, to great effect.

If you don't want to adjust your games brightness settings correctly, then the only thing that can be done is for the game devs to set your game to automatically darken everything, which might lead you to being UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING.

Getting real sick of seeing questions like this when people just need to take the time to adjust their settings for their PC / Console.

You could wear sunglasses until it's changed.

I put my brightness to 0% and it's still like 7 pm out there. Some of the interiors in the game are sufficiently dark, but the night sky away from the city should be very dark. It's also 1944, so light pollution should be a lot less. You think they will actually change it?

Maybe Reshade can fix it?

You obviously can't read. I set my brightness to 0% as I mentioned above. I set my brightness in every game I play on the darker side of things. This is one of the brightest nighttime settings I've ever seen. All but perfect? I live in a big city with light pollution and the occasional full moon and I've never seen a midnight so blue. And I don't care if you're getting "sick of seeing questions like this"; it wasn't a question, it was a statement. And you are absolutely no one; you're not an employee of Valve nor do you control the forums. If you don't like reading things, don't read them and certainly don't comment.

In addition to the full moon, the mission is set one week shy of the longest day of the year.

You went the wrong way.....D-Day was June 6, 1944. If you're looking for the moon phase for a week prior, you need to look for May 31, 1944 on that page, not June 13.

Mission takes place 12/13th June - D-Day was of course a full moon.

okay.. So D-Day was called The Longest Day. However, I literallly meant the longest day of the year June 21st. If that clears it up.

Not the book/movie about D-Day.
