Winter Shyvana 31 Posted July 6, 2018 Good day, I dunno what I did wrong but my game seems to have become so dark I barely see anything at night. This happened to me after I formatted my PC and reinstalled APB. Maybe I did something wrong? I need some tech advice here if you please, if someone knows how to fix this. I think my issue is mostly related to shadows? I dunno ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno ... it seems you just uncheck dynamic lightmaps/lights in the advanced launcher. just check it and everything should look ok again. if not check your brightness in the video settings.

Your reply is much appreciated, thank you. However, I don't use the advanced launcher. Everything is vanilla for me. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to do that, then I realized it's daytime right now on APB. I will try to keep the advanced launcher fix as a last resort if you don't mind, if nothing else helps. Btw, on my advanced graphics I have everything checked, except low quality health HUD, if that could be of any help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniperturtle 65 Posted July 10, 2018 What graphic card are you using? Nvidia has a tab in the driver control panel that will allow you to adjust the gamma value, which is what i'd recommend. Otherwise try to disable Ambient Occlusion and Bloom (those will cause significant lighting differences and hence darker shadowed areas) and crank brightness in game up to 4.

Lubnatsi 14 Posted July 14, 2018 Tick the bloom in game settings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winter Shyvana 31 Posted July 14, 2018 Thank you guys for your answers. I will try these suggestions as soon as the potato servers are back online. 1 hour ago, xATKx said: Tick the bloom in game settings I've already checked it. It's a weird kind of dark I'm having, like gamma or something. I'll upload a screenshot after the game is playable again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeela 1 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) For me the game gets really dark when bloom is disabled in settings. If you haven't already, try enabling that. Edit: Oops, someone already suggested that. I should probably read before posting ^^ Edited July 16, 2018 by The_Shroom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
