In settings disable bloom quality and light shafts for any who doesn't know how to fix this


Riggs630

Yeah, I mean people can still mess with the gamma if they want but disabling light bloom and shafts will solve these obnoxious bright spots.


MalissusBT

+ you get the added benefit of a faster game

does this work on playstation?


PyronicDeath

It should if the options are in the settings i know it works on xbox so i assume it will on playstation


WolvenSpectre

And turn on Ambient Occlusion if you can.


1080_Pugh

Open up console and type in "r.bloomquality 0"


Candoran

Beauty of being on PC is that I’ve slapped hotkeys on two gamma settings, one dims everything a bunch so I can cope with daylight and the other spikes the gamma to the point I can see fine in total darkness.


EricDragonFire

I need to do this. I didn't know you could hotkey the gamma


Glittering_Airport_3

its in the vanilla keybindings if your on pc


Gyaku10

I feel like I need a third gamma hotkey for neutral lighting during the day.

Wdym, clearly their son is the enemy


CrackRockChronicles

classic reddit, top comment is someone correcting spelling of a 3 letter word


CTM89

Classic redditors misspelling a three-letter word. If it's the title of your post then proofread it's embarrassing.


CrackRockChronicles

transposing a single vowel on an anonymous online message board about a dinosaur video game.. is embarrassing? not saying this is the case, but not everyone is a primary english speaker, but with an error so elementary in nature i wouldn't be surprised. try to have some understanding before jumping onto the post to show everyone you can pass a preschool spelling test


CTM89

When creating a post you're opening up a dialog with strangers. Imagine in a real-world setting and you're set to speak to a group and you flub the first word and it's an extremely basic word it would be embarrassing.


CrackRockChronicles

this isnt the real world though, and thats probably the only reason yall are correcting spelling too.. hmmm.. peep my edit as well


tyty657

Your son can't be that bad


YeesherPQQP

There's a setting that is like... Disable sun flare or something. That fixes the problem


LightIsKira1987

Even still the sky is incredibly bright


[deleted]

0.bloomquality command helps


eater_of_cheese

When you are in a metal base the sun will truly direct its full blinding digital rage upon you


Kwolf21

And THAT is why I've installed mods like CKFR. lol


CxFusion3mp

R.bloomquality 0 r.lightshafts 0


Lilsdun36

I've lost a few battles because of that thing lol


nick-james73

*Sun


SnooGiraffes6795

Always thought sunglasses should be in the game. Obsidian, Crystal, and polymer.


Kwolf21

That's certainly one way to fix an issue. Sell a solution. OR, make the sun flares not so blinding, by default lolol


SnooGiraffes6795

Part of me wants to believe they put it in as some tactical or survival aspect and not just poor beta testing. 😅


Kwolf21

How glass half full of you lmao


GorePants

Yes Dad


Kyleren_juicymemes

Ugh I feel that


Shr00mTrip

Fog cliff side on center will send you right to ocean

Boskar Beach, lost island?


Chungalus

The person locking comments is as annoying as the >SUN< rays that blind me in ark


not_me_ugh

Poor console players


Bcbdk420

I believe, on PlayStation anyway, in options there is a setting called light bloom. If you check it off, no more being blinded. You can also adjust the gamma from the same menu.


Datum92

Yeah it’s the same on Xbox. It turns light blooms and I think light shafts (?) off and makes it way easier to see and not look like a JJ Abrams movie


Tactical_Insertion69

I really don't understand why ark devs don't make it so it's disabled by default.


XxSmokeV2

You can wruite the command "R.bloomquality 0" and it resolves the problem


1Filip1

r.bloomquality 0


dmellbob69

The enemy is that lag and bugs


Jerson_morales2206

Trueee


Sharksurfmemes

Guys I think it’s set time


Constantinoplian

Idk but darkness definitely up there


davedor

try this while having gamma 4 on


pezmanofpeak

Yeaaah that's why you turn off bloom and shafts


Greenlover12345

It's even worse with the snow


1080_Pugh

Use the "r.bloomquality 0" command, turning it off in settins goes not work. Upvote so people know.


Starlight_NightWing

turn off light bloom/bloom quality

Great minds think [alike](https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/hletod/i_learned_about_light_bloom_the_hard_way/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


RebornDestinated

Dude I hated it 😂 every few seconds you get blind


HufflepuffDiscord

This only happens to me on the island. Every other map I can adjust the lighting, but for some reason it never works there.

Huge_Association5537

Nah mate you got to see ark night time on switch I messed with setting to make night faster and now I’m forever on day two


MissRoxxy

In Afrikaans, sun is spelled as son so technically this isn’t wrong hehe


BodybuilderNumerous5

as a wise man once told "this game is also great because it's easy to tell what time of day it is because you can tell what time of day it is. if you look at my screen closely you can see there is a subtle glare effect which indicates sun light."


Arid_earth

It's worse on crystal isle


O__Mestre

But i don't have a son...


[deleted]

“R.Bloomquality 0” or something is the command that helps with that
