Nights are way too dark! [fixed]

[areudeadyet]

How do you play this at nights? I literally can't see like anything but distant lights and that's it. I can't notice the tree, bush, road, enemy anything., i can't orient at all... Imagine being in the fields or forest, and planning to attack silently,, no way to see anything except using flares. And most of the times i do not have flares on me so...
I know we all talked that nights were too bright before but now it's opposite to that, way too dark.
Oh and good luck turning the light on, you just ask for trouble instantly!

What helped me: Turned Off the HDR function in Windows 11

Without mods I think you can't play at night, but if you used mods by joining moded servers you will see " Night vision " that you can equip it from Arsenal.

Not really having that much issue with it being too dark. It is dark but I can see and especially hear AI when they are searching. Usually when they are alerted we use the light from their flares. Also use the horizon when quite a bit. Think the night is simulated very well.

you dont need to see to navigate you already have everything you need ... a map and compass ..this is a milsim remember not COD. nights are pitch black so you either navigate like they did in real life with compass and maps or you find someone who knows how .otherwise i would stick to the training until you can learn to navigate without seeing

I have played on some other official server today and i could see much better at nights. I am not sure does servers have different brightness for their night settings, but i saw some servers with pitch black nights that you couldn't see not even your rifle in front of you, not to mention something a few meters in distance, but also I have seen servers with a bit brighter nights that I could play just normally. Same monitor, settings... Always official servers.
I am just confused.

I have 300h in this game on steam and around 100h on Xbox, orientation is not a problem for me.

use y0ur ears and flashlights and envir0nmental lighting

[Chameleon_Silk]

adjust your black levels on your OLED screens, OLED does a bad job with grays and gradients (something most don't talk about and instead talk about the deep dark blacks)

a properly calibrated monitor/TV shouldn't be crushing blacks and have good gradients, I use stock gamma and no tricks and I can "see" relatively good at night.

I use RTX HDR and if I used stock settings for that I wouldn't see ♥♥♥♥ but thats because it does a poor job on stock settings so I obviously do adjust that so that its comparable to SDR also increase the saturation so it feels a bit more vibrant but that's largely a personal choice.

[Chameleon_Silk]

you're not the only one who finds nights to dark, as I said I can see fine.

if you have NVIDIA try turning off auto-HDR, and then apply RTX HDR in the game filters, then adjust the sliders there.

[derHodrig]

- turn on flashlights -.-
- use GL flares
- use Helicopter search light.

DAMN play in team than you solve so many problems.

I was having problems with the NVGs on a modded server the other night and it was pitch black, there's a fix for some bugs by going into ArmAvision and when I did that it didn't fix my NVGs but when I exited ArmA vision the night time was more moonlit and I could see a lot more.

So I don't know if the extreme dark is a bug when there is meant to be moonlight? I can understand if it's cloudy or overcast then it's gonna be dark as the ace of spades

[AssMangler420]

I've never had issues seeing in the dark with no flashlight or nvg in reforger. Pretty easy to see especially compared to past Arma's

[areudeadyet]

Sry, NVG? Are those in vanilla game?

[Rivfader]

THEY ARE PERFECT, dont play on OLED tvs

They need to add night vision or change something about the nights for sure.
