Re: Lighting Issues During REDSEC Matches
Title: Excessive Glare in Vehicle 1P View and Engineer ADS
Platform: PC (Steam)
Game Mode: Occurs in all game modes.
Issue:
Since update 1.2.3.0, this issue has started occurring.
The issue occurs on every Battlefield 6 map except Hagental Base and Cairo Bazaar. It is not limited to any specific area of a map.
In MBTs, IFVs, AA vehicles, and the GDF-009, the screen becomes excessively bright or produces a strong glare when using the first-person view, even without aiming.
The same excessive brightness/glare issue also affects the gunner seats of Attack Helicopters and Recon Helicopters.
For Engineer equipment such as the RPG, MBT-LAW, SLM-93A, M136-AT, and Igla, the same excessive brightness/glare issue occurs when aiming down sights (ADS).
Based on testing and the attached video, the issue seems to occur mainly when looking toward very bright outdoor areas, bright surfaces, the sky, or high-contrast areas between indoor shadows and outdoor sunlight.
The bug does not seem to be caused simply by aiming down sights alone. It becomes much more noticeable when using affected vehicle first-person views, helicopter gunner seats, or Engineer weapon optics while looking at bright environments.
This may be related to auto exposure, eye adaptation, bloom, glare, or tone mapping being applied too strongly to certain vehicle first-person views, gunner seats, and Engineer weapon optics.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game on version 1.2.3.0 or later.
- Join any game mode.
- Join any map except Hagental Base or Cairo Bazaar.
- Enter an MBT, IFV, AA vehicle, GDF-009, or the gunner seat of an Attack Helicopter or Recon Helicopter.
- Switch to first-person view.
- Look toward a bright outdoor area, bright surface, the sky, or a high-contrast area between indoor shadows and outdoor sunlight.
- Observe the excessive brightness/glare.
- Alternatively, equip an RPG, MBT-LAW, SLM-93A, M136-AT, or IGLA as the Engineer class and aim down sights while looking toward a bright environment.
- Observe the same excessive brightness/glare while aiming.
Maps: All maps except Hagental Base and Cairo Bazaar.
Specific Area: No. The issue occurs across the entire map, but it is most noticeable when looking at bright outdoor areas, bright surfaces, the sky, or high-contrast lighting areas.
HDR / Graphics Settings: HDR is disabled. The issue occurs regardless of graphics settings.
Please take the time to read and review this bug report. I would really appreciate it if this issue could be investigated, as it significantly affects gameplay on most maps.
