The First Descendant

The First Descendant

View Stats:
My TFD is very clear and I don't know why
Like, it's as if I had increased the game's brightness to maximum, or decreased the shadow quality. I opened the game and it was already like this, it's not like other gameplays where the lighting and shadow are ok.

I tried to look at some configuration, but I still haven't been able to fix it, it even makes my eyes hurt in some parts.

Edit:
Well, that same day, looking at the game's graphics, I saw that the blame for that lighting was nothing more than "global illumination". Just leaving it on medium already made that thing look weird, but leaving it on low made it normal.

Looks like you are running game in HDR mode.

Check your HDR settings, there should be 3:
1. windows display options HDR, if you disable that, the game should return to normal (but you lose HDR). The shortcut Win+Alt+B can toggle HDR on the fly.
2. Windows Auto-HDR: In the Windows Settings->Display->Graphic, on the list find the First Descendant and make sure that Auto HDR is OFF for the game.
3. If you have an Nvidia card then open the Nvidia App, go to Graphics, find the First Descendant, scroll down to Driver Settings. Here disable RTX Dynamic Vibrance and RTX HDR.
4. Game settings HDR. This should be on if you intend to use HDR.

I had the same problem and as I understood it the following happened:
You started the game on a HDR enabled monitor, however the game did NOT have HDR enabled in it's settings.
Since the game said to windows that it doesn't support HDR, either windows Auto-HDR or nvidia RTX HDR was enabled and forced the game into HDR mode. Or both together.
Or you enabled the RTX Digital vibrance or another nvidia filter option.
After this you enabled HDR in game that overexposed the colors.
Basically you are using too many HDR technologies at one time and that results in bad image quality.
So disable all simulated HDR (Windows Auto-HDR, nvidia RTX HDR and digital vibrance) then enable the HDR option in-game. Or just disable HDR globally.

Me: Well... My screen doesn't support hdr, so this answer isn't here. But thanks for the answer.

Try this first.
#1 Reinstall Nvidia driver 566.03 (all newer drivers cause issues on some configurations… not yet fixed by Nvidia, so 566.03 is the only one which works in terms of lightning, illumination, stuttering and freezing). NB: Make a new installation (there is a checkbox for it during the install phase).
#2 check if the Nvidia driver are configured as follows:
(in the Nvidia Config App) Screen settings/”let the 3D-App decide”

If it does not work then tell us here. I will post the TDF graphics settings

Look, I know I didn't mention this before, my fault, but my driver is from AMD.
