I knew I couldn't be the only one to notice this. I refunded but will purchase when fixed, I love the game and want to play but this gave me headache and made my eyes burn.
Why many people complain
- Thread starter doghorse
- Start date
The lighting is pretty shit. You just have to change your gama and colour settings every time you play this game in order to have a good experience. SV has been coping in order to justify the eye adaption they have in this game which is causing FPS issues ontop of visual issues.
I know devs usually code on low brightness monitor settings to prevent eyestrain and I wonder if this can be a reason this issue goes unnoticed? Still I find it hard to assimilate how it keeps getting overlooked for so long. I collected these responses to help bring this issue in front of devs, I do hope they notice.
It's been mentioned for a long time. Devs said they're supposedly happy with the lighting now, no idea how. I kinda gave up on it since I saw a lot of people still crusading.
Literally everyone knows the lighting sucks. But it looks nice in certain angles and screenshots so devs don't care
I bought the get before the lighting changes. Have to mod the game to play it now. Wouldn't have bought it the way it is
Not true because the lighting was not horrible in the past before they went with eye adaption. UE5 is like a year away from now if not more. All they have to do is remove the eye adaption and people will be happy. They can then try to work it back into a working and good lighting system if they want but the current lighting is 100% fixable with very little time.
Lighting used to be fine in this game, they just made it super bad and wont change it back. Players just have to change their monitor settings everything they load up the game because Henrik knows better then players even tho he doesn't play the game.
These are from today. I'll keep updating this thread, not giving up on this game.
I just don't understand why the lighting has still not been fixed. It is such an off putting thing for new players, as it makes the game look horrendous. I am 100% sure a lot of players have probably refunded the game after 30 mins due to the game (lighting) looking so bad.
They have something screwed up with how the game works with peoples monitors. Because most of these screenshots for me are playable, but still overly bright. But I know exactly what people are talking about. My last monitor I couldn't see ANYTHING at night in MO during early alpha/beta. But my friend could see fine. I ended up trading monitors with my brother (it was freesync and he needed a freesync monitor cuz he got a new amd card) and bam, all my issues are solved. I dont even realize its night. And its not because they made nights less dark, it was all the monitor. There needs to be more settings to adjust to get it to be properly calibrated with your monitor. Changing gamma doesnt cut it, I tried that when I had a bad monitor. It just made everything else look terrible.
Literally all they have to do is revert it to how it was, but instead they go with the 'you think you do but you don't' attitude
What's not true? I said nothing about the past. The rest about UE5 lighting is straight from Henrik on streams. But yes, they could remove the 'adaptive' lighting in the meanwhile, I agree.
UE5 was supposed to release Q4 2021 or possibly early 2022 according to Epic. Currently MO2 is using UE4.26 which should allow for a pretty smooth transition to UE5 once it is out (I have converted a few projects myself with barely any issues at all, and while MO2 is certainly a bigger problem I believe it should be very compatible). Biggest issue would be people with weaker GPUs having poorer performance.
If that's your opinion then why are you here? You have one life and you wanna spend it whining on a forum of a game you dislike? Seems... healthy.
If it causes issues I agree they should revert until the new solution (UE5 Lumen) is a viable option. But overall this is a non-issue to me.
