Way too dark!

[Havok316UK]

This game in places is way too dark! I dont know if its a driver issue, but when your on your way to the bunker and you see a looping lighting bolt in the sewer, once you get past it, its totally dark! I even tried to turn up the brightness etc and made no difference. After jumping and crouching in the dark I managed to find an exit, then turned around and I could see the tunnel!

turn up your brightness. Looks perfect on my monitor.

So I know there's brightness but did you mess with the gamma? because that's what I did and made everything way better.

Find it ok, my biggest gripe so far is the drug-mission why do games try to have them in games and make it such a joke?

Press L to turn on your flashlight. The game doesn't say that you have one, but I was in the same boat until I figured I had a flashlight.

this. Allways set gamma to 50, no idea why they want their game to be super dark

yh i was confused when i saw it set to 44 lol every time it should be 50

I got confused thinking the keybinds for the wheel menu were the keys for the flashlight... Kept hitting it, was like well guess I don't have one then...

This.

As was the case for the previous games, there are areas that are in total darkness unless you use a flashlight or headgear with NV.

It's not a bug. It's a staple of the stealth and horror genres.

As a side note, be somewhat sparing with your flashlight use in SHoC. It's not a good idea to advertise your exact location to the local wildlife.

no issues here

there's also been reports of lighting bugs, models turning dark even with updated drivers. will probably be a few weeks or months before the game is fully patched. people are having lots of fun with it right now regardless tho, it's just at this point, bugs and glitches are widely reported.

Yeah I was struggling in the sewers until I saw there was a flashlight, hold tab and hit E

Also I am using HDR which also makes it a little darker, but man the lighting looks amazing.

press TAB - then click the flashlight, i think its "E"
And when you first loadup the game it has default GAMMA set to 44% instead of 50%
(who knows why) set it to 50
