Torch glow

[ZloVReD]

Increase the glow of the torch. I understand that this is kind of reality. That the torch is still shining. But it is impossible to move around at night! Then add in the game settings, the gamma and the radius of the torch.

I keep seeing this over and over so I'm just curious what the difference is people have in this. I have no issue with the lighting (other than in-house cauldron and etc lighting having shadows that block ceilings and stuff -- it's like there's no upwards light) and can see fine at night, even without a torch if not hunting. There's plenty of ambient moonlight and what not at night, you can easily make out buildings and trees even if with no torch, only animals are hard when smaller but you still hear them fine.

I wonder if it's people that us a TV vs Monitor, or lower vs higher graphics, or an abnormally low backlight/gamma/brightness setting(s) on their monitor (though yes it should be in-game too), or what. Some people say it's like a horror game and I just don't get that.

Hold the torch, it will help you(Not really) =)

See that the interface is at normal brightness.

Before the release, the torch shone perfectly. After that, the glow radius became 1 meter.

I also have difficult to see while using the torch.
The glow of the fire makes harder to see behond the lighting effect radius from the dazzling effect.
I think the lighting effect in the environment should be a little bigger, more radius to be able to see a few more meters distance. Even if the implementation of the lighting intensity fading along the distance but I believe it would help to see better.

Torch is most useless at night. Someone needs to correct this.

[Willow Rivers]

Nothing to correct it was changed to a lesser radius. There are night vision potions you can use to see at night when you get the Herbalism Hut 2.

Torches in real life have a brighter lightning radius than this. It is surreal how they are blinding near you and non-existent one meter away. It is broken and needs to be corrected.

I think there is an enormous calculating performance hit to increasing the radius of increased brightness of every light source. I doubt the way it is was arrived at by chance.

They probably nerfed it to make the nightvision potion useful. Now the torches are useless.

its real bright at my face rather than in the surrounds sometimes. im blinded by the light on some occassions.

Also on lighting, I was stranded in a cave, I took the potion even and everything was still pitch black. I couldnt move really because I couldnt see. I had to stand there until dawn and the lighting changed.

The torch is good for searching for stuff on the ground still, at least.
