Brighteness bug?
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

The brighteness slide seems to do a good job untill like 50%, but after 50% it just places a picture of like a flare effect(?) over the gameplay (Best visible in the night).
Also if a player already used his road flare and didn't find any other light source, the night part of the day is unplayable for the player and it's not a good experience overall.

EDIT.
Providing some pics: 50%
Above 50%: above 50%

Wasn't this intentional with the update to combat increasing brightness/gamma at night-time? https://dayz.com/blog/status-report-9-october-2018

Oh I had no idea that they implemented it. But I don't think it's a good step forward, even tho I see where they are going with this, I think it should be on in the veteran servers or as something you can switch on and off server side. Right now If I don't have a light source (Or even if I have it) I rather wait 15 minutes till the night is over, than stumble in the darkness with broken light sources (I'm looking at you Head lamp which light source floats a meter above my character) and no map to check where I'm going.
