Hello, Since the hotfix my game has had something strange happen, the lighting in dowon and other maps is coming through buildings and giving a yellow glare upon well, everything. Attatched are some ss of in build mode and in live mode, any support or information on if its just a glitch would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.
I’ve noticed this too! Ingame lighting was not the best before and it never got fixed, but now it’s a real nuisance and having the fear I’ll have to wait forever until I can take proper pics again really me.
it’s not only a grey or yellow lighting issue. When you look from afar, it’s all smudged into large pixel shapes, and even close up it’s amazingly blurry. They said they would optimze, but for users with high-end PCs they basically delivered c****. I thought they have some kind of new technology when they kept talking about optimization. But what they bragged about was just lowering the graphics down to Life by You level
Update, after frequent testing to ensure it wasnt just me, i removed any mods pre my original post and it gradually seems to be getting worse, however its only during sunrise and sunset the lighting is ok the rest of the time, im hoping its an easy fix for the team as id rather my zois didnt look like a simpson or as if they are submerged in orange juice haha.
The in-game lighting regardless if it’s from a lamp or from the sun is all too warm/yellow on my Black and Brown Zois. I feel like this is an oversight due to how the lighting interacts normally on paler Zois.
I predominantly play zois with darker complexions and how light interacts with our skintone is rather inaccurate and immersion breaking. Everyone looks like they have jaundice. I should not have to use a third-party tool like Reshade to adjust the color tone.
My request is that the devs:
Go back to reevaluate how light interacts with darket skin and how colored lights present on darker skin and from there to adjust the overall lighting of the game.
If the above is not possible Then the devs MUST put in a global setting in the options menu to adjust the color tone from Cold→Warm as a slider for people to adjust.
I am away for the holidays so I’m providing screenshots from fellow players who have black/brown zois as an example of the yellow effect going on.
Since your post is related to game lighting and corresponds to an existing thread in the bug report, I have moved your post to the bug report category and merged them so you can easily track the issue.
Yeah, I had a black (or very dark) haired zoi with long hair; you know, the Asian princess cut, long hair, cut straight above the eyes. Then I look at her having breakfast the next day, and she’s a kind of strawberry blonde. I’m like, hey, did she dye her hair? That’s pretty cool if women can do that autonomously. Nope, just the morning sun doing that.
I noticed it got way more yellow with the Cahaya update. The golden hour in Cahaya map is very special, but that update made it very yellow everywhere. I was playing in Bliss Bay and it was so bizarre when the lighting changed.
I play around it because I love the game, but I hope they fix it ASAP. I also hope they fix light shining through walls. It’s been an issue the whole time. And don’t get me started on what a lit fireplace looks like in this game! But again, I love the game.
I also hope by bringing it up that they will see your post and it’ll inspire them to put the issue high on the list of issues to sort out.
If you have used mods before, please list them:
