My game is too dark

Recommended Posts

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ^^
