Need NVG heres a Trick!

[The Bean Marine 29]

Hello guys.

if you want to skip all the text and just want to know how to see at night skip to the RED text. In need of Night Vision Googles well here's a little trick heh well i have experienced loosing gear on a night server and going to recover my gear well me and my cousin played at the night and we went to the North West Airfield we found out a couple of guys were sniping with DMR's i was like no problem i'm gonna take care of them so i went up there and got shot in the head they had better gear than me so they dindn't loot my body maybe for soda's and food but nothing more then my cousin got shot too so we found each other and suddenly he was messing with the Video Options and suddenly told me how to see at night i was choked because i dindn't think you could do that well here's how press Esc - Options - Video Options - Turn up Gamma and Brightness until you can see enough to walk around of course this isn't a good idea to do if you already have NVG but it's just a little trick than can make you see at night this is not a cheat or anything but just players experience with the game and i wanted to share if you like this please give this topic and my profil some beans :D

i know that's why i wrote if you already have NVGs you shouldn't do this but it does enable you to see better at night.

This isn't really new lol

I'm doing this for a long time already. But when the moon is bright enough you don't even need to do this.

Maybe he is just trying to tell you that this is known since gaming became popular back in the 80s so its not that new. And it IS a cheat, if a game is dark and you just turn up the brightness, you cheat.

Ah and you should really visit a doctor, i think you have the tourette syndrome.

Who didn't know about this though? It's just a video option, not a secret trick.

Also dont forget to turn up HDR very high for even better vision at night

Changing my video settings is cheating now? Really?

I guess I shouldn't turn up my resolution either... :rolleyes:

Also the brightness and gamma trick doesn't work on all servers. Some just stay dark. I've also been on ones that will start off nice with everything visible and then somehow get darker over time.

Depends on your moral standards, for me it definetely is. You gain an advantage by misusing this setting, dont compare it to resolution settings, its not comparable and i think you know that. You play with different brightness levels on different daytimes to gain an advantage over others.

resolution brings in a very big advantage, even if a noob like you does not notice.

did you ever have 2 screens next to each other with different resolutions? in arma2 the difference is huge, especially with NVGs equipped!

the fov increases by a way too huge amount!

[LunaTiK (DayZ) 45]

The most important part which was left out is to have HDR on the highest setting.

Thanks for sharing, Peter!

Dude, your massively overreacting. Just because you can turn your brightness or gamma up to get an advantage doesn't mean you should. When it comes to resolution, however, that's not a cheat. You're simply playing the game the way it's meant to be played.

[AlcApwn (DayZ) 28]

why is setting the res to the one i like so different to setting the brightness and gamma to the values i like?

in a game where at least 25% of the community is bugusing and/or cheating you start talking about how we should set our graphics settings. thats just ridiculous...

If you cant read between the lines then you're not "Cheating"....????

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

Dont even turn on your monitor,or thats cheating.

[ZomboWTF 527]

nvgs are still better

not if you want to snipe at night without a DMR

[The Bean Marine 29]

Everybody i shared this because it could be helpful to new players.

[boneboys 7988]

Raid crashed Heli's at night time !

I believe the gamma setting exploit was somewhat reduced about 15 beta builds ago, so not so much a cheat as was.

Keep it civil please.
