Game Really Dark in .61
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

For some reason the game seems to be really dark even when I have gamma way up and if I turn brightness up it just washes it out. Then I also have to turn things way up in obs so it is bright enough for my viewers. then when I go to .60 I have to turn everything back down.

Hello theclassifiedrebel and thank you for the report.
Have you tried if the issue occurs also when no third party program such as obs is running? And if you havent, can you try to change various things in your video settings (vsync, AA and such) and let us know if that had any effect on the issue?
Regards,
Geez

Even if i just play the game by itself or streaming it there is no difference. I have to have gamma maxed out even in day time to see things and I have to do the same in obs to have my viewers see anything. If I turn the brightness up then the color is just washed out. I have messed with settings and that does nothing. This game is just really dark and I have also heard it from a lot of streamers as well.

Have you tried Alt-tab while in full screen mode, If this helps delete the configuration file for DayZ, and reconfigure your settings.

Hello theclassifiedrebel.
You can try to upload the files directly in here (there is an icon on the top bar of the comment window that says "upload file") and in case it is not possible to upload the files, you can put them on some kind of cloud site.

I have done the alt+tab and it then allows me to change it and it shows but everything is just set so high for me to see things. I know this is also an issue in .60 but I don't have to put my settings so high. The alt+tab doesn't help anything with how my stream looks either, I have to add a filter and put everything really high there to. Then you still get the same problem with shadow play whom I have talked to and they tell me that it is a dayz issue with switching to the new render er that it was switched to so they will not be coming out with a fix for it. Hoping that the new environment will have them find what ever issue they are having. The setting show the gamma high and brightness about halfway because if you up the brightness it washes the color out and game looks really bad.

hope that is what you needed and it helps

Now after these latest patches if I take an F12 (screen shot via steam) the photo also come out as dark as shadowplay records. Will the Nvidia shadowplay being really dark ever get fixed or no?

Is more info still needed are no? now that you can't see my screen shots and record content is getting really old.

Hello theclassifiedrebel.
We are still looking into the issue. Can you please check if the issue occurs also in windowed mode? Is it possible to take a screenshot of the gameplay with the issue? As for the Nvidia Shadowplay footage being dark, you can follow the primary ticket in here https://feedback.bistudio.com/T117182.

It seems to be working fine now and back to what is was before if not better. Don't know if one of the patches fixed something or not but who really knows, lol

Hello theclassifiedrebel.
Glad to hear that the issue no longer occurs. Keep us posted in case the issue has re-appeared in one of the future patches.
