Nighttime. I restarted in full screen mode and now it's pitch black.

Oh I see. It was your desktop gamma causing the brightness. Enjoy being blind.

Good to know...
Also I kinda dig the darkness, makes it more interesting

It's been a long while since I played a barbar, but I vaguely remember there being a bug where the time of day wouldn't.. like.. update properly in some areas. Like, when you entered Everfrost the game got stuck at whatever part of the day-night cycle it was on when you entered and would only change once you left the zone and came back.

Am I misremembering things or was that a thing?

That’s been fixed in a recent patch (notes aren’t posted yet).

Telin:The day and night should now cycle without needing to zone in most zones.

My meditate button has always been all black.

I changed MultiPassLighting=1 to =0 and fixed it.

I had this same issue and had to set the following in eqclient.ini:

VertexShaders=1
20PixelShaders=1
14PixelShaders=1
1xPixelShaders=1
MultiPassLighting=1
ShowDynamicLights=TRUE

MultiPassLighting is the Advanced Lighting option that is now hidden from the UI. The Shader options should still be in the Advanced display options - they needed to be checked.

This broke my meditate button just FYI

Hi, my first post here, hope this is the right thread.

Lighting appears glitchy in Feerrott, at the entrance to Cazic Thule as Ogre with no lighting items. The hallway leading to the zone is completely black unless lit by items.

Is it still dark if you walk in? When I walk under the roof, it brightens up without a light source, but if I look in from the outside it is dark.

Should my computers gamma make night time look like daytime? :/
