BLINDED BY THE WHITE

[Legato Bluesummers]

WRAPPED UP LIKE A DOUCHE
ANOTHER RUNNER IN MY EYE

is there a fix for that blinding white color yet? I've turned off half the options alrady.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you mean the aggressive HDR effect (old videogame imitation "HDR", not recent monitor technology "HDR", and not old photo technology "HDR"), it can't be disabled, but you can probably tweak how it looks with ReShade.

look at the guy on tthe right, idk what effect you call that, but it's blinding. I've asked this question probably 4 times now over the past year. Reshade has caused serious performance issues in every game I've ever used it. I'd like to believe there is a better solution. On some of these maps with the sunlight hitting some environments, I can't even see the monster. This is especially bad when fighting against AT Kirin.

Thats a reflection. Turn off fog

I've turned off Fog, here's an example of how my character looks, which is a small sample of what I typically see in game.
so it's kind of hard to see, but if you zoom on the whites, you'll see they all emit a glow, this glow coalesces into some blinding color that can sort of fog up the entire area given the right conditions (like a direct light source).

Pretty sure that's bloom. Which there's no option to disable.

So i found the special K mod for this game and it managed to cut it down by around 80% which makes it very much playable.

That "blinding" glow is indeed HDR which includes a bit of bloom.

By the way, if bright areas of your monitor are legitimately uncomfortable to look at, you really need to turn down its brightness. You shouldn't be hurting your eyes just by looking at the screen.

I was going to suggest that to you, HDR profile number 4 the brightness is very toned down.

What monster is that? Is it from the next expansion?

oh yeah that's a screencap from Iceborne

[Wicked Sick]

Ahh, thanks!

That's bloom. You can't turn it off.

A long time ago, I emailed Capcom's support team about adding an option to remove bloom. I hate the effect and hope it won't be a problem with all the snow in Iceborne.

It isnt an issue in Iceborne; especially with how the snow works, it would be more effort to make bloom work with the snow than to not have snow create bloom

That's good to hear. World is like the only game that makes me squint at the screen sometimes.

That sandy area in the Coral Highlands (where Legiana first appears in, immediately to the left of the second camp), is blindingly bloomy.

[Corrodias]

Yeah, a lot of the Coral Highlands in the daytime is just blazingly white to the point of not being able to see anything with the camera at certain angles.
