Optical Flares

[Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159]

I know lens flares are new, but are optical flares new or have they been there the whole time?

 

Thanks!

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?

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.

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.

You probably didn't notice them because night and some weather cycles were disabled before .44.

Sadly, I must do this for performance. It makes me an incredibly sad panda.

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.

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?

Nor should you.  Good sunglasses are polarized specifically to reduce such glare.

does this mean that scopes from a distance now reflect light?

Seems like that those are showing in first person when you're aiming. That should be removed.
