here is screenshot.


For me its way too bright and sometimes it even hurt eyes like that. Is there any way to adjust it?

thanks in advice

Adjust your monitor brightness. They removed the gamma controls from official servers

You cannot unfortunately, A decent amount of people were complaining about people abusing the in console brightness adjustment and calling out everyone as cheaters who used it, So to avoid a great deal more of grief and complaints, Devs removed the gamma command.

I don't understand that, it's something everyone can do so how is it unfair...

1: Open this file in a texteditor: (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\Engine\Config\BaseEditorUserSettings.ini

2: Search for the brightness setting and change it to whatever you prefer.

3: Put read-only on the file and the game will not overwrite it on launch AND you cannot change GFX settings from ingame...

Pointless bump. This is from 2015. We have all the necessary means to do this in game without editing any files

Not pointless for me today :) No ingame fix or slider for brightness.

If there are means ingame then please enlighten us - otherwise I suggest you keep ur oppinion to urself.

Gamma. And turn off bloom quality and lightshafts in options. There

You cannot set Gamma through console on PvP servers and it doesn't exist in settings: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=973870856
Bloom quality and lightshafts alone does not fix the problem it was already tested.

Why did you necro an old thread from 2017? I think most players by now know this is possible on PVE servers (or unofficial servers) that have this setting.

You were about half a year late if that was you again with the reply, also, what Lori said :B1:

Did you really just say I am the one being an ass? You literally yelled at a guy for giving useful information, you dumb hypocrite.

why the ♥♥♥♥ do I care again? I'm gonna keep necroing threads and there is nothing you can do about it.

You clearly do care if you're replying to what I said with an angry response. Not to mention it being half a year ago. I honestly couldn't care less if you even do Necro threads, I rarely come here anymore. Just any person with common sense wouldn't bother since it isn't necessary.
