i do not know if it is a driver, video board, or game issue. i am sorry too that i do not have a screen shot at this time to show you too! :(
what happens is that when dusk/dawn comes, the colors start looking 'weird'. they do not 'fade' away like in your older games.
i am using:
HW: nvidia geoforce 650
SW: v9.18.13.2018
SW Date: 5/12/2013 {F21997} {F21998} {F21999} {F22000} {F22001} {F22002}
see above
IF i can re-edit this, i will try to attach a screenshot of what i am saying.
all screenshots captured at 'game time' of: sept 9 2013 @ 1930 hrs
sorry for the delay!
:)
good question! well..though i do have a2, it was easier to browse for pix on google...and it is what i remember...arma2 did NOT look like that. actually, it was BETTER.
i have attached 3 pix from non-arma3 games so that you/others can see.
thanks!
:)
the non-arma3 pix are listed as: non-arma3 nite-00???
there are many on google's image page.
1 - goto google.com
2 - click 'images'
3 - type in 'arma2 night'
4 - hit ENTER or click 'blue button'
Actually, Arma 3 looks way better than the screenshots you attached (at least the ones I can see, number 1 and 3, I'm not going to download number 2).
Are you sure your drivers are up to date?
yes...you're right...thus why i was not sure if it is a driver/video card problem...and as far as the driver update goes...the 'latest' is july 1...my is the one before that...may 12, as posted.
and according to nvidia...the latestupdate does not mention arma3....so i really doubt that is the issue...i did think about that before posting this issue....as an IT tech, i know to check for current drivers, but in this case, the night time stuff had always looked like this even when the drivers were 'new' months back.
this is why i also included my video settings in 18, 19, and 20.
to help others/the programmers, i shall update to the 'newest' driver(s)...though i am about 100% sure it will make no difference...
and yup...those are pretty crappy night time scenes...reminds me of games from 10-15 years back...hehehe ;)
a good example are pix 16 & 17. i am standing still and 'taking' the pix at 1930 and then at 0730, exact same spot (i have a script that changes time). 16 = night, 17 = day
daytime view is PERFECT...just crappy when dusk/dawn/night comes... :(
with night vision activated during dusk/dawn/night, view is fine.
and for your info, i do not have any 'mods' installed as i did not wish to waste my time on mods that may be broke upon final release...this is my script and is a carry-over from my arma1. one line: 'skiptime 12'
thanks for your input!
