Overcast weather is darkening the game way too much

[alleycat 135]

Weather is way too dark when overcast. I was playing on an experimental server, 15:00 server time (and if it is synched to real world astronomical data) then the daylight should be way way brighter, even if it is fully overcast After all it is May. However the lighting condition was so dark on 1.2 gamma and 1.5 brightness I had to increase gamma.

I agree. Whenever the sun is behind a cloud it gets way too dark and it also gets dark too early (16:00 = night???)

The stable branch does not have this kind of issue so either its a bug, something is wrong with your settings or they darkened overcast weather in the experimental build for some reason.

 

I suspect you were given the wrong ingame time and it actually was dusk or dawn.

I agree that overcast wheather is uncomfortably dark and strains the eyes (Stable branch). It forces me to turn up the gamma to relieve my eyes. Side effect is that the colors are now washed out in sunny conditions, but at least that doesn´t hurt.
