Migraines galore. It should at the very least have a pre game warning.

If you have a nVidia card with nVidia Experience installed - just press ALT+F3 ingame ... then you can adjust in your left side menu brightness, gamma and all other graphical settings as you like .

He's not talking about his display settings...

Yes, the fogs seem to have a bit too much bloom.
But when the game is too bright and hurts you eyes, just as a guess, you have a brightness control on you monitor you could use when no setting-override from your gfx card is an option.
So, less crying and blaming, more search for solultion is often more helpful.
Just my 2 cent.

To be fair - the bloom gets incredibly weird at varying points in the game. While yeah, you can offset that in card or display settings, and there's prob some cases of user error (not adjusting the in-game gamma at the initial prompt, for example), but it's got some jank to it on the game side.

It works well for lighting at night and within the shroud - but anywhere else in the environment is hit or miss. It feels really weirdly balanced, even if it doesn't particularly bother me. I get why people are saying its too bright. It's an issue with bloom and overall lighting implementation.

And if that's affecting anything like a significant user pop - that's going to be something the devs need to know about and potentially fix on their end (or at bare min, give buyers a heads-up).

Display settings is how you fix the issue.

There are ENB mods you can download on Nexus. One of those may help.

Display is what you see with your eyes, which is what hes talking about, and the reply is aimed squarely at the games lack of all these settings which you normally use to alleviate such issues in other games.

From a couple streams i've watched the game is very bright.

I had no problems the shroud and the first zone fog, but there is something about the blowing desert sand plus the bloom that gives me serious eye fatigue. It is like my monitor is dirty and blurry, leaving me squinting and straining to see. When the sand stops blowing the picture clears and I feel immediately better. This is almost a game ending situation for me, for I can only put up with about a half hour before needing to rest and log off.

No, it is not. You people don't seem to understand how bloom & other rendering effects work.
If you're making an enclosed structure and then punch a hole in it from the inside out, while it is daytime, you basically just see glaring white coming in instead of being able to look outside. It's as if a nuke has gone off right outside of it. Lowering your overall brightness is not going to change that and will just make the rest of the game darker for you. The bright white glow will still remain there, it will just be a darker white glow.

thats not what reviews are for. because a game seems too bright for you, isnt a review of the game. furthermore, anyone reading your "review" will know right away to ignore what you're saying and start reading another review. people use reviews to see if the game is good or not, they dont read reviews to hear about how somebody was born with bad genes and their eyes hurt.

No my review are good and are adressed to player like me who don't want to suffer because of extreme brightness, i am not the only one here, and the devs do nothing about it, no option at all, mean to a bad review, that is all. I have pay for a product, i am a customer and i can leave my review.

How about a review saying the devs are too lazy to add any options to tone down the brightness and bloom, and ignore the hundreds of complaints they've gotten?
