Car headlights are genuinely useless and awful at night...
I love the update but devs...

(yes I use car mod but not one that adds or modifies lights in any way, the same happens on unmodded)

Devs, are you for real with this? I drove old cranky ass cars in the past and headlights are not /THIS/ bad.

Nights are scary, yeah, I get it, but the angle of lights is too small. Atleast widening the light angle would help tremendously.

Now this is a complaint I can get behind. Totally agree. The range on headlights should be at least 2x what they are now. Give us high beams too with like 4x the current range.

We DID have high beams in b41, right?!?! Or am I really losing my mind?

the thing ppl are missing about the mods is that even though the mod has nothing to do with what broke the game... it ends up being what broke the unrelated thing... the headlights are good - no mods

Yeah. 😂

Guess pretty soon every letter will be offensive in some way.
eh, I rarely if ever play with mods, and I have to agree. I noticed it's very hard to see at night in the car, and the headlights barely illuminate what's in front of you.

try cats eyes..... night is supposed to have a serious impact - realisticly without night vision you would seek shelter in the dark - not drive around making noise - you gotta consider the mp - you make it real easy for me to find you like that and ill make it game over for ya lol (the focus of this build is actually mp)

cat eye is 2 points people. then you can see at night. easy.
Whats the condition of your lights? Can you not see at night or during nights? What about knight's visors, can you see through those? Yes I am testing the filter right now too LOL

btw it looks like EGS is to blame for this with their shameless lobbying.

Light is messed up in general. The new system is not fun.

Headlights seem realistic enough to me, ever drove with zero ambient street lights around? It is hard to see. Also watch your vision cone, it increases when you turn the lights on. Maybe it needs a high beams option for the extra light throw.
The heavy duty flashlights have much more range and brightness than headlights. Headlights can barely keep up with a pen light...
The pitch black is a bug apparently. And light from player character still use b41 lighting, so it's imbalanced right now.
