Too bright.

[Mayo]

When the sun is out the game is too bright. I tried fiddling with the settings, but couldn't find a way to get rid of this problem. My eyes hurt.

same problem here

The dynamic lighting is completely broken in the game. You'll notice when you're out at night that without a full moon it's almost impossible to see. Hell, even with a full moon it's way darker than what it should be. There's no mention that I have seen about them fixing it. It used to be you could manually adjust your monitor's gamma, but some idiot screwed it up for the darkness at least. Now you get roughly about 25-30% of the picture you should get and the rest is black. The torch doesn't do much to help at night either. It has a very tiny light radius compared to what it should have.

You get moonlight fine when on the beach, its in areas that grow trees that it gets dark even if said trees are tore down. I wander around all the time at night, its why you start with a torch recipe and its the easiest thing you own to repair. There is no cars and what not, there is towers but this is what we call true darkness, there are only a few places like this in the world left like this because of light pollution. But in places like this game where there is no large cities bouncing light for insane amounts of miles you get a great view of the stars and a darkness that use to scare anceint man silly.

Its why we got so many darkness based fears because in real life before light pollution it use to get pitch black, literally ♥♥♥♥♥ blank and we could never see in it its why we hid in caves till we had fire and the few places that still have it still rely on fire because there are wild animials who can see in the darkness. Only thing they need to fix is the darkness in deforsted areas, but when I go up the mountians looking for a beacon and my torch burns out it is 100% accurate I couldn't see the nose one my face if I wanted to in the jungle.

The light for the torch is correct as well, torches were abandoned for a reason and it wasn't green house gasses, light bulbs put out more light then fire, just a real fact. You can make flares at level 10 or so though I did that when I was still scared of the dark in the game now I know the area around my tribe well enough I stick the the beaches and pick berries near it, or hit trees using the torch only when I left the sand and feel pretty safe as long as I got at least one dihlo with me as a gaurd.

if you look in the news, they say they are working on a way to make it so you can disable it for higher frame rate

Y'know what this games lighting is starting to remind me of? Hardland when it was first launched. Lighting sucked then.

Never been in tree areas, spend most of my time in beaches. Never spent a night in the jungle, but I bet its dark.

But the blinding light is annoying I had the rising sun bounce off the water tonight, it was brighter then a flare, and kind of annoying when its refflection was in the shallow crossing I had to run to becasue I wasn't doing a long swim in the dark, when I could see what was in the water till it was too late.

Never said it was perfect moonlight but you can save the torch on the beach if you feel secure. Dihlos really help though they can jump on anything that sees you before you see it that is a threat, and saved my butt a few times from a stray wild dilho that with out them would have blinded me and easily got me.

I thought I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the video settings when I saw the sand turn white but no, the lighting is just bonked.

Open your console by hitting the <tab> key. Type r.bloomquality 0, and hit <enter>. It will cut the glare.

Without a full moon, in the wild, IRL...you actually don't see almost anything...if under trees you see nothing.
Makes it pretty relistic in my weird world...

[Gadzooks]
