badass68 16 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Will always be darker without the moon.Sometimes very dark.Using gamma and brightness will only let you see dark shapes etc nothing more than that when the moon is not out.When the moon is out in any shape then brightness / gamma work.Also time of year setting on server makes a difference. Seen a lot of empty night servers tonight dew to the moon not being out. Believe me it doesn't matter how much you tweak, dark is dark. I can make out shapes etc but nothing like last night full moon was like walking in daytime Edited January 25, 2014 by badass68 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted January 25, 2014 You need to set video to default, then set gamma to the highest and it will work. However your performance may take a hit due to the settings, so change a few of them and you should be fine. It must be one of the settings mucks up the gamma. It worked! Thanks bro! Now I am gamma exploiting like a boss even in moonless night! I'm Batman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mauii 8 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Thats cool, So they should try tweak the moon then, making cloudless nights abit rare. Maybe I shouldnt have thrown out my headtorch and all my spare batteries last night duh... Edit: Ok Ignore that, gamma exploit ftw it seems....

Atomizer 53 Posted January 25, 2014 The servers that are pitch black are so gay to play on IMO. I love playing when there's moonlight and you can see - if the god damn lighting for flashlights weren't like fucking beacons that you can see from miles away, shining through god damn buildings. Fix Lighting then it would be more enjoyable. Anyways, I think that it's only some servers that allow for the gamma "exploit" not all of them... Though haven't tried fiddling with "cloud settings" yet...The issue is there is no shadow shaders at night, if there was shadow shaders, the light would be properly blocked by walls(and other objects), I assume it is just a matter of time before night is finished with shadows and all(and the ability to disable shadows is removed...)

Sooden 301 Posted January 25, 2014 It worked! Thanks bro! Now I am gamma exploiting like a boss even in moonless night! I'm Batman! Just hope your not using it to kill people that are playing the game as its meant to be (you know testing, cus we already know of that exploit)... but cant blame you if you feel you need to use it because others are. I would rather take the risk and experience night as it should be, and if i get killed by exploiters to much and cant play, then i wait for it to be fixed. No fun playing in a way that will be fixed and its not intended 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deity 54 Posted January 25, 2014 It's the Moon. If there is moon or in best scenerio full moon night then gamma exploit works with full force. However if night is moonless then gamma exploiting do nothing.Which makes me wonder why people say it's en exploit to use the gamma trick during a full moon. I live in the middle of the woods with no street lights and if there is a full moon then you can easily see a pretty good ways, like maybe 200-300 yards if there'S nothing obstructing your view.

Nebulae3 422 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) It should be pitch black for all people and not just a few, but sadly it ain't..I believe that nighttime goggles is necessary at the moment in the item pool,because of long night/day cycles. And at the moment; a lot of people logs off when it get dark outside, and log in another server when it's morning.You see a lot more people playing on day servers compare to night servers due to no night goggles. -Ori Edited January 25, 2014 by Ori42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauii 8 Posted January 25, 2014 I always play a lone wolf avoiding people, seeing how long I can last on my own. As much as I love the intense nature of pitch black nighttime there is just no way I can go back to playing like that when most likely 50%+ of the server can see me bright as day, thats not survival, thats suicide.

irl-calibre 744 Posted January 25, 2014 you've as much chance dieing to someone playing on a potato with everything turned low, or people on high end machines with everything turned down low, as you have of dieing from people with gamma cranked, stop giving a shit and just enjoy the experience of playing with an atmospheric night, it makes the game 100 times more enjoyable. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
