  • I’m having the same problem and so far 4 other people I play with on Xbox series X/S and Ps5. The brightness has been super dark and even turning the brightness to max doesn’t change much. The recent patch messed the brightness up.

    Hey guys, this is known about. For now the only real step is to mitigate the impact by tweaking the brightness.
  • My inventory counter icons are blacked out as well as everything being low brightness.

  • Same problem here on xbox series X. A few days ago everything was perfect, now it's too dark, too much contrast and oversaturated… I can't even play anymore.

    I am having this problem also and its hard for me to see enemys and i play ranked so its really hard to see on kings canyon

  • This is a major issue for me I can only play in Close Quarters and still have issues seeing the enemy also the movement is buged i get shot once and i get a movement bug to where i cant move, my character takes forever to swap from fist to a gun, and the control response time is super slow, also ingame legend models aren't loading properly same with some ingame item models, also the FOV is completely locked in to around 70% even though i have it set to 110 so I don't know what yall did just return it to normal.... I've lost so much rp due to this 😔 I was super close to hitting plat 2 and boom update hit on April 12 and I've been meeting with my settings trying to get it back to normal and once I think it's some what decent it just gets worse... currently I'm sitting in plat 4 again yes I lost that much rp due to a "small update"

    Ever since the next gen update my brightness even when maxed out remains the same not really any sort of change happening this affects my gameplay because I’m used to seeing everything being so bright I’m able to focus so much better, now that my game is really dim it’s kind of a disadvantage for me since I can’t see everything as well.
