Fixing Night Play (Contrast and Brightness)

[Grober 0]

With Dayz Standalone Alpha i have come back to the game, and what have strike me again it that Night game have not been fixed. And i dont mean that its dark and u cant see a shit cause i love it!!! I mean that u still can get over it with puting your Contrast and Brightness to Max what kills just the whole night game play, and im sure that there will be commends like if u dont like it dont do it but then other players have a advantage over me and we all know how that ends.

 

So i had an i idea. How to fix it?

 

Allowing playing to change his Contrast and Brightness only once per 2 days? its only an example. Ofc it wont fix it but that way if u did want to play on the day server but u are doing server hopping ( what is another annoying think) and u hope from time to time to night server that way u are forced to use flash light.

Yeah Nah!

So I play at night time, server is dark, turn up brightness and gamma, servers becomes light I turn it back down. Thats it?
What about the next day?

No if u wont be able to turn it back down for 2-3 or even more days after u have bring it up mabe

a) u will stop playing on the night

b) start playing at the night the way it should be playd

In Rockets stream, the question about settings in general came up, and he said they simply haven't looked at it yet, in the future, I imagine them to remove a lot of the options, or at least fix them so no matter what settings you have, it only benefits/hinders people slightly.

For example, I found disabling clouds gives you much boosted brightness at night for some reason, and you can DISABLE shadows, you can also make it so you can see less grass/see through grass/trees easier, once they look at this aspect it should be a bit better balanced.

Also, I love pitch black nights, we just need other forms of light sources like chem lights and flares

The only thing you can adjust in your drivers is stuff like forced AA/AF, brightness/gamma etc, you cant disable shadows for games, or change the fact changing cloud settings causes the night to become brighter(that seems like a game bug).

The one I did mentioned they cant change: brightness/gamma is obviously one thing you can't "fix", because theres 3 layers of setting brightness/contrast, first: the game itself, second: drivers/windows settings, third: monitor.

All other settings that can give you an advantage need to be looked at, and will be looked at, even if they never actually decide to change them, I know some settings will be nerfed though.

Disabling shadows is a huge thing to be able to do, its a massively unfair advantage, especially at night. (Again, this is not something you can change in your card settings, the only other way to change it out of game would be third party "hacks")
