excess bloom

[Icemoon 2]

after a full check of the client - the gloom became redundant.

 

If uncheck Options ⇢ Extended ⇢ Gloom - it becomes too dark even at brightness=5.

Before that I play with the Gloom checkboxed, there was no such unpleasant blurring effect effect.

Did you have a custom shader that was disabling the bloom?

No. Also new anti-cheat disables any changes in shaders: game won't start

Full check disables any changes too

if youve got "bloom" active, then your brightness is very high.  that said headlights / billboard signs  have always been bright

What is the brightness level limit that should be set?

[Sgt Drayke 148]

Well it's hard to say really. Depending on monitor setup and os/GPU settings.   

Also with out being Infront of the game I couldn't tell you how many units.

Me personally. If I use bloom my brightness bar is set to  low 1/3rd  1/4

. But if bloom is off then it's up in the 2/3rds maybe high 3/4 of the bar.
