GWX and night.. mercy on us LCD users plz??

Faamecanic · 03-10-07, 09:24 PM

Guys,

I LOVE my GWX...so much so that while I will be buying SH4..I have a feeling I'll end up back with my beloved GWX shortly after playing SH4.

My ONLY gripe with GWX is the night darkness. I know you were trying to simulate the pitch black night with GWX...but with my Dell 2001FP (doesnt have the new fangled anitglare, bright coating on the screen) I can see past the bridge at night. And it doesnt seem to matter which Night setting I use in the setup (I notice no difference between the two).

Could you PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE make a setting to restore the SH3 default night sky??? I PROMISE I wouldnt ask for anything more...as GWX is PERFECT in all other ways!!!

Thanks guys.... even if you cant do this, this is still the best damn mod ever!

What have you done to rectify the current situation?:hmm: Sometimes it is as simple as moving the monitor for a different line of sight.

Had the same gripe with GW1.1 and I think a lot of those were Dell monitors too
I could say mine is ok but thats no use to you

The problem with going to a lighter one that would work for you would mean everyone elses are like daylight

As AVG asked - what have you tried ?

I know nothing of the scene dats but am sure your particular one could be made lighter if all else fails
Hopefully someone will be able to tell you how

I tired both files that you get at setup.... The Dell monitor never handles "darkness" in games very well. I have tried upping my brightness on my monitor as well as contrast and gamma...but then day time looks horrible.

I just find it odd that the stock "night" in SH3 works fine...

We have our PC in a conservatory so we have to wait till dark before we can play SH3 as to attempt to do so in daylight, you can't see a thing.

I have the same "night blindness", though I believe my issue stems from my new video adaptor;
all my games seem to run a little darker than before.
As Ms. Grey noted, playing in daylight is too painful and quite deadly to my crew
as I don't "see" the enemy until they are firing on me.
I'm not asking for a total reversal back to the "vampire vision",
but simply a toggle that allows the rest of us to enjoy the night.
Ichi...

Well since some of you mentioned Dell, I have a Dell ultrasharp widescreen LCD and the night seems perfect to me in GWX, and using 16k atmosphere option as well.

Wouldn't the quality of video card make a difference too?

Edit: This subject has been discussed a number of times already. A little searching could have easily given you previous threads concerning this question.

AVG...I play in a dark room with lights out and still no good at night.

If I could ALT-TAB out of the game I could jack up my gamma at night, and reduce it during the day.... but guess what SH3 doesnt support (among many other things like AA/AF)....

I play with a headlamp that I just click on at dusk and turn off at dawn...

I run a high end system
Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHZ
ASUS P5B
2 GIG Dual ChannelDDR2 250 GIG SATA hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX
Sound Blaster X-FI sound card

I have trouble running 16K atmosphere also,my fps are great but I get some flickering from long shots.I mean the sky in the distance,the sun and moon etc.
However I have found that running in 8K is pretty darn good in itself.I get terrific graphics in 8K.
I dont know what my problem could possibly be unless its my Video card which I was assured could tow the mark.
But all in all i .love the GWX mod.

AVGWarhawk · 03-12-07, 09:22 AM

Kwi/FAA,

I see you both have the same card. Could be the issue? I use an Nvidia 6200 and night time is not bad for me. How about just a screen adjustment on the monitor itself?

Dustyboats · 03-13-07, 08:03 AM

As "Warhawk" says....I have a Dell 19" and had to move it from "desk stand"to "Desktop". Its really great now!!!
