Using the latest patch files H right now and still, my candle of the plaguebringers is as bright as a GLS. Not sure if candles are meant to be fixed but it's outdoing a fire beetle eye and it should be significantly dimmer than that.

149 = nothing
150 = fire beetle eye
151 = Candle of the Plaguebringers

As an Ogre in Oggok, I cannot see a darn thing from spawn. I tried running toward the SK guild, and its just so freaking dark. I don't know the time of day, but I stood around here for a good... ~30 minutes and it didn't seem to change. Basically just hugged walls and ran into trees while slowly working there.

That is definitely not intentional. I will check tonight to see if there's something broken with infravision.

Can you press alt+o at night time and see if adjusting your gamma slider helps? As of at least last patch it still helped quite a bit with infravision. Not sure if that is slated to change.

Also you could take a screenshot I'm sure that would be helpful

This is also good advice. Infravision is intended to be fully playable at nighttime, though still somewhat dim. If your local machine's brightness settings are very low, it might seem darker than intentional.

I didn't notice anything earlier with the gamma slider. Default for me is at 52%, took it to 100% and it didn't budge. My dynamic lighting is true. I don't believe my rig is set to an abnormally dark or bright setting (not adaptive or laptop battery). Right now it is bright inside there. I went back and been standing at the priest since my first post.

Finally tried /time. it is 10AM game time. I'll hang around and keep seeing if it gets super dark during night again

Default Logged some times

5PM game time, noticed it getting darker. Still plenty of light to see around.

7PM game time, no different honestly from 5PM.

8PM game time, a lot darker. Quite a bit. This is probably darker than I remember infra ever being. Been a long time though, but it is pretty stinkin' dark! I can still see torches from my perch by Priest of Discord.

(screenshot) 11PM game time, too dark to me. I can still see the torch, but barely any light from my distance.

(screenshot) 1AM game time, I think the torches are actually easier to see now. I can handle this!

2AM game time, no change from 1AM as far as I can tell.

(screenshot) 4AM game time, starting to brighten up. Much brighter than before. Definitely bright enough to do anything in Oggok.

(edit)(screenshot) 7AM game time, day time!

Thats as far as is probably worth standing around for. It is obviously tied to day/night cycle. I wish I had taken the 8PM screenshot. That is pretty much when it is "close" to being too much. 11PM is just too much. 4AM and you are good to go.


Note: All of this is from Priest of Discord in Ogguk. Also, I didn't think to do screenshots until 11PM. Sorry [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*Gamma changes haven't done anything that I can notice. Tried higher and lower.

**In images, please ignore my UI. This guy is fresh spawned and I spent 10 seconds on UI before I noticed it was so dark. I know it is horrible!

The wall to my right is permanently dark no matter what direction I face. So are several other spots where darkness is unchangeable.

Is this how it is right now?
