The sky is glowing...
Yeah better let people not turn off simple stuff like bloom, I always loved not being able to see the sky cause it glows cause this effect is totally not annoying in every game ever.

When you go indoors too there is an insane glow outside and if you go outside then indoor areas become incredible dark...

Thats the radiation in the air. Iodine-131, its reactor fuel. Can only be found in the reactor core of a nuclear fission generator. Each of those molecules is like a bullet, flying through everything it touches. Walls, concrete, trees, flesh. And each one of those molecules is firing a billion, trillion, bullets in all directions. Its carried by wind from the smoke being caused by the fire burning in the core. What you're seeing is the equivalent of 400 atom bombs being dropped on Hiroshima.

If you taste metal while playing STALKER 2, please take iodine capsules and call your local doctor.

Perfect answer.

I agree with that. I though it is my. 4080S GPU. Too dark inside, too bright sun rays on objects and it looks like I see nuclear blast when I go out. It is so weird. I will play it later. Also windows on buildings are dark. It looks stupid and ugly. No idea if it is my rig, but I saw streams and it was the same + popping trees. Weird animal animations. It does not look good at ll. They need to polish it

Yeah the eye adaptation/lumen sucks. During an emission inside it looks like a normal sunny day through the windows. Supposed to look blood red hell outside.

Nope, thats a pretty bad visual setting and an issue in games since the days of Half Life 2 and post processing effects

My explanation was more lore friendly

Why even having such a plain dumb effect and not letting us turn it off.

Also forced vignette too...devs must be new to gaming ngl

Can't wait for the hardware ray tracing to be put into the game. The lumen stuff looks good for the most part, but it's still not nearly as good as ray tracing for the lighting and reflections.

Should not be seeing it though since it is only visible on video footage captured by cameras that use film rolls which can be damaged by the radiation causing the white pixel.

Also looks goofy af & mostly reminded me of a broken rain effect..

Stalker 1 had better reflections btw
