Colored Glow Sticks Brightness

@Adamonic I'm not 100% sure, but it could have been enhanced by a program called reshade.

@Metal_Daryl97 Me too, does anyone know how these work?

@AdamonicI’ve read they were added to enhance visibility, as when the game first released there was a lot of complaining about difficulty seeing players on both teams. They’re somewhat dim in game, but in a dark or smoke filled room it will give you some ability to see both friend and foe. Rather than work out proper contrasts, probably a giant effort to do, they gave us glow sticks. I think the image you shared is manipulated, they’re not that bright.

@ATFGunr ahm you know that he is talking about the unreal brightness on these screens?

yes, they have increased the glowing some patches back but far from what is on these screens.

@CountSerosome of the comments were mentioning they didn’t know about the glow sticks, so I addressed that. I don’t know the name of the program that enhanced the images, if there is a program that you can run concurrently on PC that would enhance graphics like that I’ve never heard of it. I don’t think one exists. It would be like cheating, however would impact going from bright to dark places and have other negative impacts on game play. It’s just a manipulated image to stir up the interwebs with more BS. The game has enough legit problems that we don’t need made up ones.

@AdamonicEven in the D room on Kaleidoscope the glow sticks aren’t that bright, and it’s dim. Not sure how many hours I have, but it’s enough to make S055 and I have never seen them that distinctive on any map in any lighting. It’s got to be manipulated as none of the glows are that bright on the players beside the shooter. It was a nice shot through traffic though! Also note the lights are green, so those are his teammates. I’m sure you know the enemy lights are red.

@ATFGunr nope there a tools like reshade that can enhance graphics in a drastical way and that on the fly
