Inverted brightness red and white night
New, NormalPublic

Description

Build 1.2.1.173 2025-01-06 16:35:03
No mods installed. Brand-new default install, only the graphics and control settings adjusted.

During part of each in-game night the brightness of objects in the world is inverted - things that should be black are rendered as white, things that should be brighter are rendered with dimmer colours, mostly shades of red. The sky remains dark but is also redder than it should be. In game the effect happens suddenly. One moment the twilight is fading and everything is getting darker, the next moment i'm in a blinding psychadelic nightmare. The first time it happened was during my first game after completing the training scenario - a solo local conflict game on Arland. The problem occured the first time night fell. I abandoned the game, restarted arma and started a new confilct game, but the same thing happened. Then I started checking things and experimenting in GM mode.

Steps To Reproduce

On my system i can easily reproduce the effect in game master mode. Simply adjust the game time of day until the problem appears. The exact times affected change if different weather is selected, but the effect occurs for at least part of each night, and on both Arland and Everon.

Obviously my laptop is barely capable of running this game, so i have almost all the the visual settings at their lowest value. I haven't tried every possible combination of visual settings, but for each parameter i have tried all their settings while leaving the others unchanged. No visual setting affects whether the effect is occuring, only the time of day and weather.

Additional Information

I've checked the integrity of the game file in steam. I've checked my display driver is up to date. I've run dxdiag and attached the results below. I've shut down and restarted the game and my computer. The effect persists.
