To anybody finding it difficult to adjust to the new lighting...
- Thread starter Miko
- Start date
That's nice, but I was in Sol the night before the update, and the Moon was certainly not yellow/sepia like it is now. My monitor is not the issue.
Just asking if the brightness/contrast fixes suggested here will help with that...because..y'know..THE Moon isn't flipping yellow out in space.
OP is not suggesting to change your monitor settings. OP is suggesting to have a look at your game settings which you might have adjusted to fit the old lighting, settings which might not look so great with the new lighting.
Assuming your monitor is somewhat calibrated a reset to default could in some cases do the trick.

Where are the RGB settings (as the OP suggested changing them) in the game settings?

If only that would fix my dash lighting up blue like a Disney World show when exiting the mail slot (said slot being way behind my apparently transparent Dolphin), or the red haze I see in certain star systems that makes me think I'm suffering G-forces causing blood to rush to my head..

I don't play on PC so you tell me.I was assuming he was referring to those fancy 3rd party ED tools which some of you guys use to alter the games gamma, lighting, colours etc.
That's what I was asking about before.
Except for some others, such as myself, the old visuals were not as good. So not adequate by that measure. I was using reshade and various adjustments in live, and the beta (not had a chance to try 3.3 for work reasons) was ideal for me. In stations light isn't right, but the rest of the game, excellent improvement.
Nvidia Control Panel > Display > Change Resolution
Section 3 Apply the following settings.....
Desktop Color Depth
Output Color Depth
Output Color Format
and Output Dynamic Range
Those four drop-downs are not there for you? Hmmm, interesting.
Guys, try the suggestions here and if you play on PC you can usually adjust games individually using the GPU profiles for the game. So you don't always have to mess about with monitor settings.
However, most TV's allow for different profiles also, so that is also an option, as indicated since some software settings on TV's can exaggerate some things a little too much, depending on the source content. So it might be an auto contrast or gamma setting or wide colour range etc.
The reason I also mentioned checking an RGB range setting is because now that Elite Dangerous has brighter lighting in general, you might benefit from switching to Full RGB range if you can run that setting, which could resolve a washed out look in some cases.
But all that said, my game looked somewhat washed out because of the old in game Gamma setting being too high. I turned it down by about 40% and it now looks perfect for me.

Thank you OP.
Changing the in-game gamma setting really helped!

I hope it helps a lot of people struggling to adjust to the new look. Some people seem to be having more extreme issues, however, such as being unable to read any text etc. As if there is too much saturation colour bleed or something happening
Is it possible the problem is that some cmdrs are using custom hud colours and are a little bit miffed its gotten a bit waky since the update ???
