Mass effect legendary edition me2 too dark?
Hi, I've been plying through LE n XboxSX and ME1 looked great. Just started ME2 and the contrast is all out, looks like the blacks are being seriously crushed and can't see any detail in the darker ...

Mass Effect 2 Dark Shadows Fix
Here's a quick fix for the insanly dark shadows in ME2.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME2\BioGame\Config or

Open GamerSettings.ini and add this line under [systemsettings]
DepthOfField=False
and with that the game shouldnt look like it was filmed in a dark alleyway.

Hopefully that helps 🙂
While that does have the intended effect, it also has unintended ones. You'll notice that DoF doesn't just control that feature, but also screen vignette and bloom (the latter being the only real loss there). Also, the color spectrum completely changes when disabling DoF. All in all, it really comes down to what one is willing to put up with...at least until modding gets into a full swing.
And I also don’t have HDR and I’m finding it way to dark in areas. Sometimes the lighting just stops working in some cutscenes then I’m left with shadowed characters. And it just looks off.
