Weird lighting

[wufnu 0]

I've noticed that the lighting seems to go from very dark to so bright I can't see. I believe it's weather effects where the sun goes behind a cloud or something. The problem is the range of light/dark that it goes through. If I set my brightness/gamma so that it looks normal, when the sun goes behind a cloud it's almost too dark to see and then when it comes out it looks like the gamma is set way too high. Is there anything I can adjust to reduce the range of brightness it goes through or turn those weather effects off?

I have it too, its very annoying. I believe that everyone has it.

It occurs especially when you walk in the forest, in between the shadows of the trees

I'm having some crazy screen flashing going on when running through the woods. It goes from so dark to so bright, I still have spots in my vision as I type this. I thought it was due to my upgrading to Crossfiring two cards yesterday, but it's good to know others are seeing the same thing.

Mine flashes then goes dark. Seemingly only when i enable crossfire.

Just played 2 hours of arma with no issues, booted up dayz with beta and boom - flashing occurs.

I believe it's the ARMA II beta patch that does this, not DayZ

Ah, sounds like there's no fix :( It really messes with my brain.

I can confirm that, for those who are using Crossfire, that disabling it corrects the issue for now.

I don't use crossfire... glad you found a fix, though!

Disabling Crossfire didn't work for me. When I'm inside or have very little view of the sky, it's as bright/dark as it used to be before the latest DayZ and Arma2 (beta)patches, but the moment I have some view of the sky, it goes from okay to so dark I'm having trouble seeing my friend in the woods 10 meters away from me.

I can't play outside because of this. Can't defend myself against zombies very well, so what would I do against a player?
