Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159 Posted May 1, 2014 I know lens flares are new, but are optical flares new or have they been there the whole time? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl 986 Posted May 1, 2014 Lens flare should be removed. It's a cheap effect that has been done by everybody already 10 years ago and it makes no sense, I don't need to feel like I'm in a movie.Of course getting blinded when looking into the sun is fine!Not sure what you mean with "optical flares", you mean scopes glinting?

Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159 Posted May 1, 2014 They have always been there man. Thanks Irish! Enjoy some musical fruits. Lens flare should be removed.

There is actually a bug that goes with it. I'll have a short vid up in the next day or so on it. Many will disapprove. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I really enjoy the new scope reflections/flares and the lens flares from the sun.They help with immersion IMO! But I play to have fun and enjoy myself, not turn off shadows and post processing so I cant get the most head shots.So, I have to disagree with removing them. On topic, yes they have been there.

hotcakes 348 Posted May 1, 2014 You probably didn't notice them because night and some weather cycles were disabled before .44. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, I must do this for performance. It makes me an incredibly sad panda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeroy 240 Posted May 1, 2014 Lens flare should be removed. It's a cheap effect that has been done by everybody already 10 years ago and it makes no sense, I don't need to feel like I'm in a movie. They make sense when on Third person view or when looking through a scope. They even make sense if your player if wearing sunglasses... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted May 1, 2014 They make sense when on Third person view or when looking through a scope. They even make sense if your player if wearing sunglasses...I don't agree except for the scope. And I never saw lens glare (like in the game or movies) when wearing sunglasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfisher 561 Posted May 1, 2014 What are we in a J J Abrams movie or something? Unless you have a scope, binocs, camera or other optics in front of your face, you should not see a lens flare. It's an optical effect of the sun reflecting off of the a system of lenses (hence the name "lens flare"). What's next? The view "snap-zooming" and shaky-cam-ing to the greatest source of drama in the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagneticToast 102 Posted May 1, 2014 does this mean that scopes from a distance now reflect light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 1631 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Seems like that those are showing in first person when you're aiming. That should be removed. Edited May 1, 2014 by St. Jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
