Man I'm so tired of these old schools RO players (the whole 6 of them). Stop living in the past dudes, of course "glowing" isn't realistic, but Balance > realism!
Low Shadow Quality = HUGE ADVANTAGE
- Thread starter drswank
- Start date
Im playing with almost everything in Ultra and i still notice some glow, ofc i hate when people reduce their graphic settings by purpose just to take advange in multiplayer (grass, fog, etc), im that kind of player who loves to play a game with good looking.
If you ask me, it must be fixed? Yes, 100% yes.. .but is not that serious like you want to make it look
Edit: IMO, bloom is not the main problem, but playing with Enchanced instead Normal or War movie and bloom at the same time is...
Im updating the game right now, i will test this later

I'm pretty sure that this is something that is engine related... as it pertains to Unreal Engine 3. I'm not sure that this is something that they can fix. I'll be sure to continue using it for as long as it's available.
And for anyone saying that it's not visible past 30-50m... I dare to disagree. It all depends on which direction you're aiming. If you're aiming away from the sun, I can pickout targets from 50-100 meters with EASE.
I agree. I play a lot of firefight, and I went from a 50's-90's player to a 120's-160's player.
But hey, if people don't see it as huge as an advantage as I see it, then I'll keep using it forever
I dont see why some guys are getting their knickers in a twist over this, the vast majority of games have similar results when you turn down the visuals.
Most competitive gamers will run configs with minimal graphical bells and whistles.
When i played DOD competitively years ago i used to bump up my gamma settings to see dark windows etc more clearly.
Personally i play my games now with everything maxxed out,thats why i purchased a high end pc,i prefer immersion and atmosphere in my gameplay above anything else.

Does not compute
how is an unintentional visual bug a "balanced" gameplay mechanic?
Me thinks you are full of **** and are looking for a half witted excuse to rag on the "old school realism" players.
I think this is due to the contrast between the dark place that they're in, in contrast to the brightness of them. Also, the bloom effect makes them a glowing target (a larger target), as the darker the environment around the object that blooms, blooms brighter than if it were around other brighter areas - because of the intense contrast.
Bottom line, because of the bloom, they are in fact a larger target (visually speaking) in addition to being a brighter one.
RO2 has become a FPS version of Whack-a-mole. lol

i used that bloom-bug for a while now ,ppl can't hide in the dark anymore.. and maps are a shooting gallery of heads in the window corners, that was almost impossible to see before .. those i accused of using aimbots and hacks before was probably exploiting this
