Exterior appears too bright when standing near window inside a building.

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer

Please select your region North America

When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 100119 1151
Summarize your bug When standing inside a building and looking out a window, the exterior will appear overly bright and over-exposed. Making it impossible to see clear details or make out other players. This is especially bad on Rotterdam. But, it does exist on most other maps as well.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join a match on Rotterdam. Go inside any building that allows access to rooms with windows. The over exposure is particularly strong when you're a few feet away from a window. But, even walking right up to the window the exterior will appear unrealistically bright and over-exposed.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't make out enemy players or details when standing in a building inside a window.
What should be happening instead? The exterior should not appear too bright.

I understand the desire for photorealism. But, making the exterior really bright simply because I'm inside a building looking out a window seems very extreme to me. As I don't experience anything like that in real life.

    Hi, @killCAMPERS

    The Battlefield team has this mentioned on the known issues list

    Video Options

    • Lighting is too bright in-game
    • Try switching off HDR in the video settings. Restart your game once you’ve done that and you should see a change in the lighting right away.
    • Status: Resolution proposed above.

    We'll do what we can to pass the feedback along. Thanks for the report!

    I cannot find any setting for turning off HDR in my PS4 version of BFV.

    Ah, missed the mention of PS4 at the top of your report. That is only available on PC.

    Have you tried re-adjusting the brightness levels at all? We've seen some feedback on what you described regarding brightness when looking in and out of windows though.
