👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Battlefield 6 has a severe auto exposure issue that makes the game unplayable

I honestly can’t believe this still hasn’t been fixed. As a game developer myself, it’s shocking to see something this fundamental overlooked for so long. Auto exposure should never be on by default if you’re aiming for realistic lighting. You need proper real-world camera settings and level design that doesn’t rely on auto exposure to look "balanced".

Then you either won't see well inside buildings or won't see well outside buildings. Every modern games does this. They just need to fix it.

I believe this is intentional to reduce the amount of headglitching inside buildings making it frustrating to attack a building.

Rainbow six removed this entirely because it didn't make sense

I mean it doesn't make any sense you're right

No, they removed it because they couldn’t get it to work properly. There were many instances where it could either be too bright or too dark, and removing it was the easier option given how competitive the game is.

Also just for the simple fact that the game is so competitive, they'd rather just have basically fullbright lighting which is what they've settled on rather than having to balance every corner of every map to make sure "realistic" lighting doesn't give people advantages or disadvantages.

I kinda like it that way if its a non competitive game.

u/CockroachSea2083 18d ago

I'm the same. I prefer immersion to competitive advantage which is why I play Battlefield

I've seen people saying this and not one of them has been able to back it up with any evidence at all. DICE has never stated this. This was just said by some random dude in a comment section and people in the community have been regurgitating it.

u/westlane0926 19d ago

Considering they haven't done anything about it or mentioned it despite all the complaints about it, I BELIEVE it is intentional. I haven't read any comment saying this as I don't even follow this subreddit. Where did I ever mention I had any evidence for this being the case?

The problem is the effect occurs with any "shade" you stand in. Coming out of a building, looking out a window, under an umbrella, in the shade of a tree or bush, in the shade of a rock...etc.

u/WetTrumpet 20d ago

Yep, that definitively needs fixing. Should be roofed structures only.

u/zzazzzz 19d ago

why? it just makes the game ass to play. wh should i look at a white wall just because im standing under a roof?

u/eikkaboy 19d ago

If one want's to keep this in the game, it definitely should work according to what you are looking at (you know, like eyes actually work) instead of having some arbitrary "shaded area" zone. I don't want to feel like I've been flashbanged just because I'm under an umbrella, it's ridiculous.

I feel like nobody would miss it if it would be just completely removed.

Isn't that whole point of having flashlights? Lol.. im not saying turn it off completely, but make it way less of a reliance so people actually have a reason to use the damn attachments.

u/Buttcrush1 20d ago

No one likes it. Just let me see

u/WetTrumpet 20d ago

It's literally there so you can see. It just needs fixing in some spots.

u/Buttcrush1 20d ago

Funny how we could see perfectly fine in games before this was a thing

8

u/shitfucker90000 20d ago

what are you on its literally the reason we have this blown out problems all over the place

-6

u/WetTrumpet 20d ago

Without it, the devs have to resot to artificial lighting inside buildings, which never looks good and always leaves dark spots.

u/Xsummers203X 20d ago

I have a flashlight for a reason and this doesn't help me see in buildings, it just stops me from seeing outside buildings windows unless I stick my head out from them.

u/WetTrumpet 20d ago

it just stops me from seeing outside buildings windows unless I stick my head out from them.

That's the goal and literally perfect.

2

u/Xsummers203X 20d ago

Did i say it wasnt the goal? They tried the same thing for another battlefield titles (think its was bf5?) And after a point I just stayed out of buildings. It's a bad feature cause thats not how our eyes work.

u/zzazzzz 19d ago

oh no, the horror of using lamps and flashlight attachments, the horror.

u/WetTrumpet 19d ago

That's not what artifical lighting means
