what happened to the game? everything looks too bright

[Plex]

Now its the weekend and I want to play, but inside hogwarts castle a lot of rooms and areas are just overly bright to the point that I can't see anything.
Here is a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/RY9JiXu.png

I tried everything from resetting my settings to verifying my game files..
Also updated my drivers.

any ideas?

That's because of the Ray Tracing. They broke RT with the new patch. To fix it - turn off the RT, that's the only solution I know up to this moment

To be specific, turn off "Ray-traced Reflections". Other raytracing options should still work fine (at least in my game).

Yup. RT Shadows works ok'ish. Reflection is buggered af
edit: RT shadows on is just as bad. RT need to be off completely.

Im pressing X on this one. But will download anyway. It sure cant break the game anymore that it already is, so nothing to lose, but hopefully RT can be on again

I just installed the game today. For me disabling only RT shadows did the trick. RT reflections and ambient occlusion seemed to be fine.

Not much difference besides darker game. RT (Reflection on, and light goes mental) is still as bad with or without the "mod". (Ultra+Full RT)

I have never even had Ray Tracing on and it's still blindingly bright in some locations. Namely in caves for some reason.
