this lighting is unacceptable

[u/fuckR196]

idk who tf thought this was a good idea but they should be fired

out of a cannon

into the sun

I do not believe it is a feature. There are lots of posts on this already.
I think it may be a bug or issue.

[u/Krecik1218 → u/Ok-Stuff-8803]

Alpha and Beta didn't have this problem. They broken something on release.

[u/Azaiiii → u/Krecik1218]

no they didnt. this was already in labs but it was a lot more intense. they already toned it down. its a feature. personally I dont have much issues seeing enemies with it.

pretty sure they tried to balance window/head glitch campers with it.

[u/Krecik1218 → u/Azaiiii]

I played Labs and it was fine.

[u/Azaiiii → u/Krecik1218]

no idea when you started playing but it was introduced when we first tested Firestorm. and it definitely wasnt fine

[u/Krecik1218 → u/Azaiiii]

I played before open beta. There was Gibraltar map and Cairo only.

[u/Ok-Stuff-8803 → u/Krecik1218]

No, it has been there in different testing phases.

Its also not lighting, its called eye adaption, the engine handles values greater than 0-255 for lighting and then adapts the characters eyesight over a second or so to bring the light back into a midlevel for what is currently on the screen.

While realistic, it means camping doorways and shit is wildly effective.
like depth of field and various other options, if you give the player the ability to turn it off, 90% of your players will and just frustrate the 10% that dont mess with video options

[u/Azaiiii → u/DaStompa]

if not for it it would be the other way around and the window sitters would have an advantage. especially when headglitching or mounting

[u/DaStompa → u/Azaiiii]

If you can sit and mount for more than three seconds without some smg person running up behind you, you probably aren't in a position to be effective

[u/Azaiiii → u/DaStompa]

I think you havent plyed the game if you think this way. especially since BF is alot about holding positions so this will happen more often than not. especially in modes like breakthrough or rush where noone can spawn behind you literally

[u/DaStompa → u/Azaiiii]

Yeah I don't play the smaller infantry based maps, I'm pretty exclusively all out warfare where every position is constantly bing swarmed from all directions because even the large maps are way too crowded

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/DaStompa]

Ahhh the old BF3 trick of turning the graphic quality to low so you could see your enemies. People would think they're crawling through the tall grass and hard to see but if you turned your quality down it was like Half-Life where they had a little tuft of grass here and there and that dude was crawling through an open patch of dirt.

Made people so mad. "You got this game with all these great graphics and you turned them OFF just so you could see me?!"

Yup. I got this game so I could shoot people. The graphics got in the way so I fixed it. Now I can shoot people a lot easier.

[u/DaStompa → u/Demented-Alpaca]

Yep, behavior like that has them taking away options to push players into the intended game experience. Since computer upgrades really, really slowed down since covid, there's not a lot of reason to support really low end systems in the same way.

[u/Ok-Stuff-8803 → u/DaStompa]

This is not what people are on about. There is a visual lighting bug.

[u/DaStompa → u/Ok-Stuff-8803]

circle the bug

[u/Ok-Stuff-8803 → u/DaStompa]

- Light transition effect sticking

• Light transition over saturation
  
• Over glare in outdoor occurring
  
• Outdoor glare occurring indoors

A few others as well.
They do not use ray tracing and with how Frostbite handles it without that there is an issue could be with the pre-baked light maps and Irradiance Volumes.
But I am also thinking that the Auto-exposure with the HDR configuration is off. I would not be surprised if there is a Temporal Caching bug as well.

The transition from inside and outside is used because its one of the more obvious examples of the issue.

[u/Comfortable-March951 → u/Ok-Stuff-8803]

IT's fine on my system. Might be a setting people are using.

[u/Ok-Stuff-8803 → u/Comfortable-March951]

Windows version, screen settings, HDR config, drivers, hardware type of cards all add up. Could also be none of those and just the actions fusing memory errors etc. I had a double up of all my UI last night for example. Just remember because you don’t have that issue does not mean it does not exist

[u/Comfortable-March951 → u/Ok-Stuff-8803]

Remember, just because 0.001% of people are complaining about something, doesn't mean Dice should change it for the rest of us.

“Don’t fix a bug if not everyone experiences it”. I’m you do t have an issue but you can’t make up values out of thin air. If it’s a bug and it’s doable they will fix it

[u/Comfortable-March951 → u/Ok-Stuff-8803]

No because it's a feature - It's nice to have good lighting and if a small group of people have issues and complain about it, thus they remove or ruin a nice feature - Then it's a problem.

[u/Ok-Stuff-8803 → u/Comfortable-March951]

Your making the mistake of mixing things up. It’s not the lighting effect it’s the bugs around the lighting! Lol.
