Lighting on Aberration

[Jenx]

On the 12th when I played it was really dark and ominous and awesome. Today I loaded up Ark and everything is very bright! Anyone else have this happen? It kind of kills the spooky mood.

^This we need more of a voice so this issue is fixed, The map looks like garbage now.
If anyone knows a way to force undo the fix that caused this please tell.

Try opening up the dev console and typing, without quotes, "gamma 2", which is the default value. If that still ffeels too bright, try gamma 1 or maybe even lower (It should take decimals).

[Jenx]

I'm pretty sure it's not the gamma since the value hasn't changed; before the first patch the lighting was WAY more dynamic but ever since patching now everything is kind of the same brightness. I'd have to think that something broke for that lighting effect upon patching, maybe.

Haven't noticed a lighting issue? Weird. I know once my Light pet goes out I can't see a damn thing lol!

Yeah!! That's exactly what I'm talking about. So if that patch made a fix, is it supposed to be fixed now or was it never supposed to be that dark in the first place?

Ya and I agree it looked much better before. Considering so many new items/pets use light it would make sense if....you know...it actually was useful instead of just another meh thing in the game holding back the devs from fixing the game.....

@dad elite the light sources are ultra useful,
if you leave the starter zone and go into the surface/glowing forest or elemental water sections without a light source a endless wave of nameless will assualt you til you die,
with one of the new light sources they wont even spawn.

But i agree it looked amazing with the darkness.
Still looks amazing but i want my darkness back xD
Atleast a option for it.

i set the 2 gammas in settings for now..

and that 'my little pony' lookin mini horse with the light makes killing nameless ez... (when lit)
