Oh thank God, you reverted the flashlights. I nearly had a spasm about that.

EDIT: Okay, I've actually played the game since I commented. I think you guys may have accidentally turned the flashlight even brighter than it was before. It's almost blinding now if you aim at certain surfaces.

EDIT 2: Actually, I don't think the brightness is the problem. There's something weird going on with certain textures when you aim the flashlight at it that makes the flashlight seem brighter than it is. It's clearly noticeable if you shine the light at a siren's head; it starts looking all white and funny. Gorefasts' heads reflect back at you, and well as clots' entire bodies, and as do many of the walls on Catacombs. Maybe it's just lightly colored surfaces. Just a heads up!

Yoshiro, bug spotted. Quite a serious one.

So I went into a HoE game quickly to see what the fuss is about with the flashlight...

After our demo got shafted by a horny fleshpound, I picked up his RPG as gunslinger to give a scrake a quick nose-hair trim with it, as one does.

Well, sadly, this time, the shot detonated in spite of the near point blank range, and took me with it at almost full health and armour... As far as I'm aware this ought not to be possible with the demo's weapons on account of the arming delay of the explosives...

Any thoughts?? Sadly that ruined our game and the 3 left alive died soon afterwards... And for the record I almost f****** s*** myself as well :)

Anybody else loses connection to host when the server changes the map?
Happens all the time to me.

Yeah, the flashlight definitely got hyper-intensified with this update. It's brighter than ever.

You can try lowering your brightness and gamma to the level the game is meant to be played. It's perfectly fine as it is now.

If i lower the brightness, then I have to play with the flashlight, what makes it look like a "tunnel vision". Everything around the light beam is dark.

That's a tricky one for me because even though on one hand I feel that the dark and dingy feeling should be part of the game and that turning the brightness always ends up spoiling that, the result is that I'm loathe to play any map other than Outpost, because for me playing maps such as Catacombs as gunslinger always ends up with having to play grab-*** with the torch battery constantly... Maybe removing flashlight battery and reserving it for night vision would be better? Maybe allowing night vision to be bought at the trader for all classes would add a little more depth to the game and extra challenge for darker maps?

... Actually, do any of you even use night vision??

It is listed as a known issue in the patch notes (original post) with how to workaround it.

Since the new update I have some issues like:
-Losing connection to host when server changes the map
-Server filter not saving
-Some FPS drops

Are these known issues or am I the only one?
