For much time the community has been pressing tab and typing in 'r.bloomquality 0' and 'r.lightshafts 0' because of the blinding glare in the game which hurt peoples eyes when playing at night. If you are dyslexic you are in for some trouble. There is yet no GUI in game to remedy such a widely used feature which would make for a simple solution. There is no permanent fix and this is currently the only way.

 

I seek for an answer from an official developer if editing the .ini to remove bloomquality and lightshafts is allowed. Keep in mind that these commands are already being used by everybody.

Here are some things you can edit to hopefully disable these settings permanetly.

Quote

Go to folder "\ARK\Engine\Config\" open file "BaseScalabilty.ini" in Notepad++ and modify ALL of the "PostProcessQuality" sections to Change Bloom and Add Lightshaft settings accordingly.
Change "r.BloomQuality=2" to "r.BloomQuality=0"
Add "r.lightshafts=0"
Now these 2 settings will be Off when you start the game and whenever you change graphics in game they will stay off.

I was just trying to get a direct response. I was pretty sure it was not a bannable offense but people on my server seem to think it is. This would provide them verification of that.

VAC is not going to ban you for modifying a setting that the developers have allowed to be configured, nor are you going to be finding a GM enforcing players to use a certain config when playing.

In the situation where we may have missed locking down a setting that gives an unfair advantage over other players, then by all means make a thread and discuss it so it can be reviewed.

Drathek, please change the default settings for this 2 parameters to 0.

Why you should do that?  --> Try to build a metal house, put an omni-lamp in this house... and see what happens.

Thats the reason why most people do not like it. We do not want to get glared in our own houses :) 

Another solution for that: Remove the bloom effects on metal parts :)

That is all I needed to hear. Thank you for the input.
