Game play too dark at night? (Possible Solution)

[tgritt]

I've been seeing that I am not the only person who feels like it is way too dark to see anything at night in the game. I have noticed something that I wanted to put out there as a possible (maybe) solution. If you have "night mode" or "night light" setting enabled, this makes the darkness level in the game really quite dark. I've noticed that by turning this setting off, it really makes a noticeable difference in the brightness level in the game. This may or may not help you, but I know it sure makes a difference for my experiences in the game. Just thought I'd throw this tip out there in case anyone else finds it helpful.

This is the mod I use and it lights up the world at night.

There is also the brightness slider in the in-game graphics options.

And if you also deck out your truck with alot of extra lights and then activate high beams you will have plenty of light. The oncoming traffic will also use their flashers in joy ;D
But seriously, I try to put the rest phase into the night (like go to rest at 8pm and get up at 6am) and then try to drive through the day mostly.

I have the slider all the way to the right and it is still so dark that you can not even see the car that is passing you until it it right even with the fricking cab....

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! The brightness slider has no effect on screenshots.
So there goes my idea of showing you the difference I see TW.
I'm going to mention that word. Have you got any mods that might make it so dark?

TW, I found some not too old posts of your darkness problem. Did you ever try what Fury6 suggested and change the value of uset r_gamma in the config.cfg. From the modding wiki:

r_gamma | float | 1.0 | global | Gama correction factor (works only in fullscreen mode)

Also in the config.cfg, to make AI lights appear earlier change:
uset g_lod_factor_traffic "1.0" to uset g_lod_factor_traffic "3.0" or more than 3.
