Lighting bloom in DayZ and Arma 2 in general.

[voldier 1]

I've only just started playing DayZ over the last 3 days, but one of the biggest issues I have with this whole thing is whenever I can see the horizon my screen goes almost black. Then I look away and it grows very bright. It makes it intensely hard to see things at long distance or move through buildings with multiple windows/light angles.

Has anyone found a way to fix this or at least mitigate it? I looked into some other Arma 2 mods but quite frankly they were very confusing for me and I couldn't get the to work successfully. Not to mention I don't know if they'd work in the DayZ mod either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately I get this issue as well, it happens almost constantly.

Mine is more like it is adjusting it's own contrast, and being a tad heavy handed about it.

I think it is a failing of the lighting engine. You running high end kit?

turn off hdr and post processing, helped with the light issues i was having similar to what you say

@Metric: I've had it all on highest, to medium, and to lowest doesn't seem to make much difference to that.

@kruxed: As far as I know you can't turn off HDR and only Post. I turned off post but it didn't do anything about the lighting.

Anyone else have any ideas?
