do people edit their screenshots? i have the settings on ultra but most of the time the game is a little more grey. or do they have other tricks up their sleeve?
i heard people talk about driver tricks but i don't want to do that if it's not 100% save... pretty bad with PC's

I,ve looked at your screenies, they dont look any different to my ones.
I dont know if people can or do play around with there own ones.
The game itself does look somewhat milky and grey at certain times of the day.

Turn fog off will help. Also what are you using for a GPU?

I don't know about everyone, but guys like Crazy, they edit the ♥♥♥♥ out of their shots lol. It's a whole community ego thing on here I guess.

Your shots are fine. Love the squirrel!

Don't know if this would help but; If you have an Nvidia graphics card you can open Nvidia Control Panel/ Display/Adjust Desktop Color Settings/Apply the Following Enhancements/Digital Vibrance. Increase Digital Vibrance a little at a time until the colors are to your satisfaction. It doesn't change the tint, just amount of color. I use this for theHunter Classic and it makes the colors pop for me. The animals look much better. I keep it at 75% for my monitor while in game.
Remember to hit Apply each time you increase the setting. I minimize the game, increase,hit Apply, then open the game back up and repeat until I'm satisfied with the color.

Yeaaaaah, a lot of people is using reshade things. Me I always stayed away from those regarding my own screenshots as the ones they are taking are straight up "bullshots", fake screenshots. My toughts have always been that if it doesnt look like the vanilla game (excluding games with huge mod communities) its a cheaty way to get the most upvotes possible.

As i decide for myself, if i take screenshot that everyone can take also and without of using any kind of external tools - than i should put this screenshot in vanilla "Screenshot" gallery in Steam. But if i take screenshot with using ReShade or any other kind of external tool and/or edit it on Photoshop - than would be better to put it in "Illustrations" gallery, so people will not to confused and ask "Is it vanilla game graphic?". Especially people who decide to watch screenshots before they buy the game.

Here's detailed instructions from a user on how to install and use reshade for COTW. You can use his preset or play with the options on reshade till you find something you like.

the difference for me between vanilla game and reshade is like night and day. From a blurry, dull game environment to one that is much sharper and vibrant. I won't play without it.

Preset for The Hunter: Call Of The Wild
Created by chaza
Added May 10, 2017
Updated 11 May 08:00 CEST
Shader used: ReShade

Preset description: This Reshade 3.0 preset uses a combination of multiple shader effects and although I do not experience any performance degradation on my system, yours may vary. My aim was to enhance the game's sunlight effect and rework the color palette while at the same time improving texture details without sacrificing the shadows. You might have to adjust your Monitor / TV calibration's setting accordingly; as I created this preset with how mine is set up.

Programs Used:
Nvidia Control Panel (to force DSR factors)
Reshade v3.0.7

Activating Nvidia Control Panel DSR factors (assuming you run a 1080p native display):
1. Right Click on your Desktop and Select the NVIDIA Control Panel
2. Under 3D Settings, select "Manage 3D Settings"
3. Scroll down the list until you come upon "DSR Factors"
4. Activate both the 1.78x and 4.00x options. This will let you display the game's in either 1440p or 2160p (4k).
5. Finally select between 30% - 50% values under "DSR Smoothness". Personally I use 42.

RESHADE INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Download the latest Reshade from https://reshade.me/
2. Run the program and click on the "Select Game" option.
3. Navigate to and select your The Hunter: CoTW executable on the Steam folder.
4. Once selected, click on "Direct3D 10+" and let the program install all the files.
5. Download my preset from below. Be advised it comes as a .txt file. Which will not work on its own. Follow step 6 !!!.
6. IMPORTANT: Once downloaded go ahead and rename it to wathever you want with the extension ".ini". Example: "MyPreset.ini"
7. Now take that preset and move/copy it to the Steam folder where the game's executable is -From step 3 above.
8. Launch the game, press Shift + F2, follow the prompts and select the preset from the drop down list.
9. Continue following the prompts until the Preset goes live. Done!

GPU= Graphics Processing Unit, or Graphics/Video Card
CPU= Central Processing Unit, your Processor.

resolution helps a lot . the best shots will be playing at 4k. thats 4x the level of detail of 1080.so they will look a lot better.also no hud helps.sometimes of day you can get a milky whitey kind a look.so weather and time of day really can alter how the game looks.

This ^ Got a friend who is lucky enough to play it at 4K and he does spot things a lot eaiser than me. That and the AA shimmer is pretty much gone.

Also the haze goes away a lot when you disable the Volume Fog.
