Too much brightness
Anyone else having this? After the patch the game is too bright and turning down the brightness in game makes it look like you dimmed the backlight on your monitor instead of actually adjusting the brightness like any other game.

The game looked perfect before the patch now it's a muddy, blurry mess with too much brightness.

Idk if someone has a solution share it, otherwise at least let me know I'm not alone.

Hmmm, I havent heard of any brightness issues, and mine is looking like it always had. I'm not sure if I can think of any fixes

I've been having this exact issue. I've been messing with the slider for the last 20 minutes and only got a somewhat okay balance between washed out dark colours and not being blinded. Even the UI's colours are being muted.

could you provide a screenshot under default settings? i'm having a hard time imagining what it looks like on your screen.also, are you using an AMD or Nvidia Card?

This is what the game looks like at default brightness:

And when I turn the brightness down in game this is what happens:

my PC is
Ryzen 5 3600 (stock)
16GB 3000Mhz RAM
GTX 1070
game installed on an ssd

Turning down the brightness also dims the menu screen, I have Volume Rendering and AA turned off.

Looks especially bad with HDR. Game looks amazing at night but at certain points during the day everything is just super blown out

you're telling me, washed out brights.

my card isn't compatible with dx12 so that might have something to do with it. theres a spot in the coral highlands that hides kirin's lightning for me as well if i dont crank the brightness down.

Maybe it's my monitor, but I think it looks better now. Better contrast in the colors, the darks are dark and the brights are bright. It looks more realistic on my end.

mhm, checked astera during daytime, pretty much looks the same to me.
maybe i've never paid that much attention to it before on PS4 and PC, but this game always was a bit too much on the bright side, add some heavy bloom in certain situations and you're going blind.
i've played around with sweetfx before, but it never felt like it fit 100% so i kept it at default ever since.

yeah I also thought somehow when Light shines on something its way brighter than before and especially on snow that effect is too much so I turned Brighness down.
But now Dark places are a bit too dark.

HDR is definitely blown the ♥♥♥♥ out now. Anything touched by sunlight in the day is awash with a bloomy brightness like it's covered in a thin layer of high-visibility paint. Night looks nice enough but day looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible.

Have you guys turned off Ambient Occlusion? It washes out a lot of color and helps make things like snow and sand not blind you

Same issue. I used to balance my HDR settings to the sun in the sky, trying to keep it distinct in the clouds without blowing it out. Now the clouds surrounding it are all just a huge mess of lost data in the white.

I dunno about bright but this game sure is blurry even with setting off to unblurr it

Check out the specialK mod and enable HDR tonemapping then set it to 3. It gives an amazing moody dark look to the game that is enhanced by volmetric fog (in my opinion)

I've been using that setting for over a year and it's amazing. Although it does seem to be slightly darker in some areas so it's best to increase the brightness up by one or two notches.

I don't think it works with DX12 at the moment and you can find a link in the last couple pages to the latest iceborne version.
