Low Shadow Quality = HUGE ADVANTAGE

[Beamerina]

I have my shadows on high but notice something similar nonetheless. In the dark unlit rooms in Apartments characters remain well lit even though there's no light in that particular room. Guess no point in being super sneaky

 

[Schildmiller]

its sad that people take advantage of it. Ill keep my options to the way they are and fight the fair fight.

 

[MissionMaximus]

Woah this is really bad I hate to see people getting advantages with their low end PCs.

Yeah, this needs to be fixed ASAP. Very unfair advantage for those using this.

 

[Ossius]

That explains so many kills when I was clearly concealed.

I'd like a TWI comment on this. This is the first thing I've seen about the game that's really made me worry.

 

[Steezy_Six]

If they can't fix it. They should just remove the low settings option and then remove any way of making the game appear like this. Yes it'll alienate those with low spec PC's but:

1) Most players probably run low for their own advantage rather than as a necessity
2) The players who can run the game on medium to ultra far outstrip those that can only run it on low, I have no statistics or facts to back this up but I'm confident in that.

 

[Sheps]

Lmfao you're delusional if you think that's a huge advantage. How about taking screens of soldiers from 40-50 meters away, there "glow" is totally gone.

 

[Deek]

It may not be totally game breaking, but it certainly shouldn't happen.

I want a beta RO2 luminous skin for Killing Floor.

Ditto

It's obviously if you turn shadows on low and Bloom is on, bloom is the only reason that something would glow like that.

 

[Harkonis]

This is a problem in every PC game I've played. People who turn settings down have a pronounced advantage. It's one of the few things that consoles can avoid due to all having the same hardware.

No idea how they can fix it, force shadows on and half the people can no longer run the game well enough. Force shadows off and it looks a lot worse.

The advantage is not that huge like you guys say, don't panic because of it ok ?

 

[Jorg Biermann1]

I hate twats that lower their graphic settings to give them stupid advantages. Am I the only one that counts this as cheating?

That is like the ONE good thing about Consoles. Everyone has the same specs and graphic settings.

I see you are using this to your advantage.

 

[teemu92]

I am sure twi will fix this, its quite a big bug.

 

[Verluste]

Shadows are pure cosmetic, like the bloom and blur. Always options I always tick off.

In the normal ROOST it doesnt give you an advantage, more like a dis-advantage.

If they wouldnt glow in the dark in this game, it would be no problem to tick shadows off.

 

[kimgage]

I see you are using this to your advantage.

To my advantage ? You wrong, i only noticed after i read this topic, and one more thing, the glow is much more visible in screenshoots, in game is not that visible like the screens this guy posted above. source: tested by my self.
Also, i really dont see such advantage, 30-50 meters away you cant see any glow effect...

No, that is the responsibility of the developer not that of the user with budget PC's that like to have the game playable.

It's cheating when you get advantages above all other players. All players can lower their settings and have the same benefit in this game (actually its a bug here)
In any other game, higher graphic settings are an advantage over lower graphic settings.

Bug or not bug or anything,must be fixed,i dont care if not noticeable to 1000 mts. or to 5 cms.For sure they
