FS22 is too dark. Again.

[Riven326]

Just a slight thing , with FS22 you now have seasons which changes the darkness or light inworld

Then everybody would have the problem because seasons is on by default.

Riven FF to the fall or winter, the shadows and lighting change with the seasons.

Actually although the lighting angle changes depending on the Season the actual contrast values don't change. They use the same values from the colorGrading.xml file every single day in Fs22. So the levels of gain in the contrast remain the same.

It's weird. Some maps look normal and others are too dark.

This is down to the fact each map can use a custom colorGrading.xml file where you can adjust the saturation, contrast, gamma, and gain on a global level, shadows, midtones and highlights.

If you either reduce the contrast of the shadows, or up the gain of the shadows it causes the them to be lighter.

Graphics card prices are beyond me.

Did you manage to take the screenshot BulletBill was asking for? If someone can tell what the issue is, it's him.

Do you got your xbox on hdr settings btw or?

Yes, I got one from each game. No, my tv does not support HDR.




Top is 19. Bottom is 22.

I have a series s and don't have this problem of course my tv is also hdr so that could be one of the problem

[Bobbydj1980]

I suspect that this version, the Xbox version, of 22, suffers from some kind of gamma issue. It's happened in the past with Xbox titles. It hasn't happened in a while though.

My version, the xbox version, of 22, don't suffer from this. Works fine, looks fine, no issues.

When is the last time you cleared your xbox cache? As that might fix it.

It's strange that you are the only one with this issue.
I haven't seen any other complaints about it. Yeah, only once, the map Gelderland was to dark, but that was map related as the author have fixed it.

He did say his tv doesn't support hdr so that could be one issue there because I don't suffer that on my Xbox either of course I also have a 4k uhd that supports hdr to

[Riven326]

I don't see why hdr wound be an issue. Many tv's don't support hdr.

Just curious. Do you have any different brands of tvs at your place? My main tv that I play on is a Samsung that doesn’t have 4k. I’ve never had brightness issues on it. Every once in a while I’ll move it to a bigger 4k LG Tv, and while the graphics are more crisp and clear the game is definitely darker. I’m also on Xbox X

I only have the one. One would assume that changing the xbox's resolution to 1080p would be the same thing. I did that and didn't notice any difference. Unless the issue is specific to the Series X version of the game. That's whay im going with at this point.

I have the same problem in Series S, it's so clear, even in brithness at 0.5 in the options I can't see on which equipment I'm selected changing in Y. I have to assume which equipment is selected to undock. Terrible.

[Dreiviertel]

Same on PS5. I'm at a gamma setting of 1.4 and the shadows are still too dark. I had this problem also with FS19 at some mod maps that used "realistic lighting" settings.
