shadows problem

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 7:19 am

Helo,
first of all .. brilant game .. game of year for me or even one of best ever :smile:

but i have small problem there

first minutes of game , escape from prison is all ok . there are normal shadows and dark places can have reall black .. after that esacape . First and second mision looks like lost setting of brigthess so i set it up again . It says " adjust until dakrest symbol is bearly visible" so that how it was in the part esape from prison . now i have to make second dakr symbol almost invisible in order to have proper shadows in game.
That would not be problem offcourse but when using dark vison it seem that dark vision takes this second symbol bearly visible like it should and it is instead of seeing in dark almost black sceen with yellow people somehere there in front .. with turn on turn off dark vison i know it is dude behind wall but i dont think thats how it should be.

how can i fix this ?
i could go throught some confing file if you could tell me wich setting could fix it

please help ! i think shadows are really imporant part of this game.

btw, is it just my problem ?


sry for bad english .

You want the normal brightness to be darker, but when you use Dark Vision, you want it to be lighter?

The game was made with a certain colour/contrast scheme in mind. If you mess with it, things are going to look strange. There's no way around it. It's meant to be pale, because it's imitating watercolour.

i am aware of certain mood game desingers and developers are going for but i dont think it works for me as intended.

i saw some vide on youtube and that did look better then what i have.

contrast /brightens was normal during normal game and not somehow very dark . Just black darkness in some corner or other place without light .. and when using darkvision it was actualy making easire to see whats around .. i in the other hand have i that black screen with yellow people somehere in sticky black-ness. No walking with darkvision becouse i can end up in the wall . So dark vision is now .. turn on .. look around where are enemies .. ah they there are .. turn off walk around them .. turn on are there more behind them . Becouse beyodn range of yellow highglets tehre can be some dude walking right at me.


prison and sweres are somehow normal but after that contrast /brigntess is lost and night and shadows turns into day and blue blue places .. not pale .
really on yoututbe it was looking much better then what i have.

after instaling game i reisntaeld nVidia dreivers ( fresh isntal ) maybe that broke something ? and no i am not all that noob i set all settings again to proper level. I am graphic and create images so it is kind imporant to mee to have desktop in good color and bright . Beside other games / movies / beginning of this game looks good.

i made screens to show but i cant post them here or link or antthing ... so weird.
