No Flashlight ?

[Shoushi]

Hi,
I don't think there is a flashlight and maybe my question is stupid because the game doesn't supose to have a flashlight but.... in dark corners of complexes, I find it to be a pain to really see whats there.
My only way to resolve this is to light up the monitor I guess although this is going to make me lose some contrast.
Did anyone have trouble with not having a flashlight in the game?

Had a great deal of trouble seeing in quite a few places, including combat areas and one particular platforming puzzle. You can use your scanner periodically to get an idea of the layout but it slows you down and wouldn't be any good keeping up in combat.

Yeah I understand you, but while I was in combat, one of the bot just got into a dark corner and I couldn't use the scanner quickly enough to see where to hit. I think flashlight is a norm and paramount in games that has dark corridors. And it was really weird that it's not in the game, that's just not user friendly at all. Quality of life is pretty much impacted due to no flashlight.

Probably almost had a flash light with that head gear thingy at the beginning but decided not to include it.

I don't know, but its impacting the gameplay in dark dungeons just like in vavilov.

I can understand the utility of the glove in the game (although the medipack hotkey on X is a tricky choice when in combat situation) but the flashlight is paramount in vavilov complex since it made me look all over in keybinding to see where was the shortcut for it.
For me it was so obvious to have one when I entered in Vavilov, i don't get it.
I really don't see why it cannot be be added on the character torso just like ALIEN or KILLZONE 2.

РЕШЕНИЕ! Друзья, скидываю наглядное решение проблемы - запилил видео, так тоже несколько дней мучался - все перепробовал, и настройки менял на минимум/максимум и DLSS включал/выключал, и целостность файлов проверял - бесполезно. Даже игру на несколько дней забросил, потом снова попробовал и та же фигня. Не думал, что данный глюк в игре так просто решается.
Если помог - подписка и лайк. Спасибо.

The game has so many VERY STUPID design flaws.

No flashlight is one of them. Scanner is cool but for the first 5 minutes then it becomes annoying to use.

Feels like the game was made by designers bot game designers. Cool vibe and great ideas on paper - ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gameplay, UI, UX

Cyberpunk has no flashlight either and it's similarly annoying to rely on a scanner.
