Why is it SOOO dark now?

[KrafTeaDragon]

Ever since the blood moon event it has been literal pitch black in the game. If you drop something in the challenges when you aren't given a flashlight...it is gone. What is the point of having a brightness meter when you try maxing it out and it is still darker than it used to be? This needs to be fixed. Getting stuck on things while running from the ghost because you cant see 2 inches in front of you it rather annoying.

Did they reduce the max brightness setting? Because it has literally been like that since the game came out on normal brightness.

It was always only 50 cm you can shine ahead with your shoulder light (you can crouch to see the floor if necessary). The only difference is, that with the old render pipeline they implemented like 2 years ago you were able to see a littlebit more.

Additionally they recently added eye adaptation allows you to see a bit better in the dark after a while (unless you've switched it off, at which point you're stuck at 50 % eye adaptation) and after looking into some light, any unlit area gets darker for that reason.

And the brightness meter definitely works, it's just that something that isn't bright isn't affected that much, like you won't have a black area suddenly shine from itself.

Most people should still be capable of seeing in the dark though and if you've problems, it might be a good idea to not look directly into the lit areas of the map, since that will make the dark even darker (or even better switching off the generator to always have the eye adaptation at max value). Alternatively you could also restart the challenge until you get either sunrise or fog, which both have a way better visibility for outside maps in particular.

that's the A+++ development for you

VR is unplayable due to this. I will only play this game in VR due to the adrenaline my first experience gave.... So this game doesn't exist. Shame too, seems like the updates were pretty cool
